The formation of hypertext competence emerges from a combination of methods, tools and technologies that provide communication between hypertext network devices with the aim of transmitting information. The information transmitted may be diverse depending on its type and content and is intended to be used collectively through network information and communication resources, where the network language and culture differ from traditional speech practices. The difference here lies at the macro level, i.e. at the level of texts, and at the micro level, the level of lexeme transformation, at the level of meaning and form, different from the norms existing in the language system of the community. Moreover, the level of fact acquisition and, as a result, memorization increase when the information is structured, taking into account common features, which are relevant for students. Objectivity, integrity and network identity pay an important role there. The formation of hypertext competence is carried out in the course of environment-oriented training, which means that a foreign language is acquired in natural situational conditions.
