Abstract

Media competence, as an integral part of modern education, enhances
students’ abilities to critically perceive, analyze, and effectively use information in
communication. This article examines the role of media competence in the process of language
learning in the context of globalization. The study discusses the role of media education in
developing linguistic competence, as well as the influence of digital literacy and information
technologies on language learning. The findings indicate that improving media competence
increases learners’ motivation, promotes independent thinking, and strengthens their
communicative skills.
