The research addresses the use of information and communication technologies (ICT) in English for Specific Purposes (ESP) learning by pre-service mathematics teachers in Ukraine. The study aimed to provide theoretical justification, methodological development, and experimental verification of the application of ICT. It aimed to enhance the pre-service mathematics teachers’ professionally oriented English communicative competency (POECC) in ESP learning during wartime. The definition of POECC was based on a scientific literature analysis. The criteria for POECC were motivational, cognitive, operational, and creative, with three levels each (low, medium, and high). The authors developed and tested the use of virtual resources and digital tools in the process of learning ESP. They also provided examples of how ICT can be used in online English classes. The study evaluated the level of development of pre-service mathematics teachers’ POECC before and after experimental training, and analyzed the results of the training. The study confirmed the hypothesis that the development of pre-service mathematics teachers’ POECC level would increase during ESP online learning, even in wartime conditions, if virtual resources and digital tools were used in accordance with the developed educational technology.
