The article focuses on the studying of motivation in teaching a foreign language in E-learning environment. The research aimed to analyze digital tools, describe theoretical models, conduct experimental training, and administer surveys. It is based on data obtained from a study conducted at Sevastopol State University. The study included a survey of undergraduate students to identify the factors that contribute to sustainable motivation when teaching a foreign language in E-learning environment. The results of the empirical study revealed varying degree of motivation among 1st year students (45.03.01 “Philology”) and 3d year students (44.03.01 “Pedagogical Education”) during teaching a foreign language process.
