Summary/Abstract: The aim of this paper is to present some ideas based on new technologies in order to teach foreign languages more efficiently in early school education. The ideas are derived from the reports and literature of the subject; on the basis of which I have presented a set of applications and websites dedicated to this age group. Taking into account the core curriculum and children’s developmental abilities; I have described ­example activities with the proper tools. The role of the article should be informative and educational for the teachers who are in charge of lesson planning taking into consideration the contemporary technological facilities. The changes taking place in Polish schools allow us to use new methods in everyday teaching to support children’s interest and attention. Schools should be the pioneers in discovering new possibilities of modern technologies to follow the guidelines of the core curriculum and enliven its content in the contact with students. This way; Polish students shall be able to develop communicative competencies which are crucial in the new; digital world. Being a digital immigrant and native is a fact which; as the new generation of teachers; we can use to make teaching more conscious of civilization improvements.
