Summary/Abstract: With machine learning-powered digital solutions influencing foreign language learning, it is crucial to understand students' perceptions of language learning. In this article, multiple questions related to the increasing digitalization of language are discussed. A survey design was employed in this study to understand students' preferences in institutional education versus independent learning. A total of 70 participants completed a questionnaire related to their language learning preferences. All the participants enrolled in this experiment were students of Lingwistyka w biznesie [Linguistics in business] at the University of Warmia and Mazury in Olsztyn. The results focus on how "Digital Natives" learn today, what they expect from traditional face-to-face teaching and how the education system needs to adapt to such demands.
