The article presents the experience of a group of teachers of Bulgarian language for foreigners from MU - Plovdiv in the application of ICT in distance learning in an online environment. The authors share some problems in connection with the forced suspension of classroom teaching in the Bulgarian universities during the Covid-19 pandemic. The subject of the study is the training of future doctors to communicate effectively when entering their clinical rotation programs. Emphasis is placed on the advantages of PowerPoint presentations when teaching vocabulary and grammar as well as on the priority of digital learning materials in the field of language studies when adapting to distance learning. The conclusions are supported through examples from the practice of the authors. The presentation of new lexical items in the online classes is described. Examples of specific tasks with results achieved through them are given. The usefulness of the appropriate choice of topics and "entering roles" to motivate learners is commented on.
