The e-textbook becomes a new trend in education and at the same time the "face" of the educational institution. The purpose of the article is to substantiate a potential of the foreign language e-textbook as one of the most important means of branding a modern university with linguistic education.

Findings – the study showed a high degree of representation of the e-textbook in the elements of the ecosystem of the university corporate brand as a modern means with significant development potential in the interests of improving the efficiency of education at the university and positioning the university as a part of the global community of educational organizations. Conclusion – branding university with the linguistic profile of education involves solving the problem of creating and using its own electronic foreign language textbooks that correspond to a certain level of development of digital and linguodidactic technologies, digital literacy and methodological competence of the university faculty against the backdrop of ongoing constant professional self-improvement and immersion in the context of international scientific research.
