| Summary | The article presents the findings of the research into an intercultural digital native/digital immigrant conflict and its significance for the modern language pedagogy. The author scrutinizes the factors that provide for the wide-spread unwillingness of the language educators to tap the full potential of ICT for fostering the most needed competences in their learners as the members of post-industrial society. The paper presents a comparative analysis of the characteristics in cognitive behavior of digital( modern language learners) and pre-digital (modern language teachers) generations. The author maintains that this disconnect in cognitive behaviour of the parties to the educational process necessitates the change in the content of language education and the practices of the EFL classroom management. | ||
