The article highlights the use of the HyFlex technology in teaching foreign languages to students of pedagogical specialties, in particular, 013 “Primary Education” and 012 “Preschool Education” under modern challenges. In accordance with the research target, the following tasks are defined as clarifying the essence of basic concepts; describing the HyFlex technology of teaching a foreign language; and determining the prospects of further research of the HyFlex technology of teaching a foreign language for future teachers of primary and preschool education. The method and procedure of an ascertaining stage of the pedagogical experiment is presented in this research which includes self-assessment surveys and diagnostic tools to evaluate students' readiness to learn foreign languages in the HyFlex model. Intuitive, reproductive, searching, and creative students' readiness levels are defined by the authors in terms of the HyFlex model. The results of the research suggest that most students exhibit a reproductive level of skills in this context. The article provides insights into the organization, principles, and structure of HyFlex foreign language teaching for students specializing in primary and preschool education, emphasizing the importance of technological and linguistic criteria. The authors present an array of educational tools and digital resources that enhance language learning within the HyFlex framework (Google Services (Google documents, presentation, sheets, forms, Jamboard), Quizlet and Anki, Mentimeter, Quizalize, WordWall, Flip, Canva, Vocaroo, Metaverse Studio Application). Future research is expected to focus on the formative stage of the pedagogical experiment, aiming to further develop students' abilities in foreign language learning within the HyFlex model.
