This paper examines the educational perspectives of using digital media in the interconnected learning of English and music at different levels and types of education. In this qualitative research study, an interpretative method of analysis is used. Data includes examples of online video guides to classical music listening, classical music games, animated videos, massive open online courses, and different types of virtual museums, as digital spaces convenient for the development of students’ personal educational language events and communication experiences. In conclusion, examples of possible learning events in digital environments can engage learners and be a stimulus for flipped/blended/virtual learning activities and better acquisition of different language and music knowledge and skills.

Artykuł jest próbą przedstawienia perspektyw edukacyjnych wynikających z użycia nowych mediów w połączonej nauce języka angielskiego i muzyki. Podstawę metodologiczną analizy jakościowej stanowi paradygmat interpretatywny. Materiał badawczy stanowią dostępne online przewodniki muzyki klasycznej, gry, filmy animowane, kursy internetowe i wirtualne muzea. Łącznikiem dla tych przekazów jest wytwarzana przez nie wirtualna przestrzeń umożliwiająca indywidualne doświadczenia komunikacyjne i edukacyjne. Różnorodność i bogactwo dostępnych przekazów może stanowić zachętę do samodzielnej nauki języków obcych.
