The article is devoted to the description and analysis of the implementation model of modern educational technologies of blended learning in the process of professional training of specialists in foreign languages. These technologies act as a means of stimulating motivation, cognitive independence and activity of students. Their use increases the efficiency of the educational process by changing the models of interaction of its participants. At the same time, students make the transition from traditional passive perception of the material to its active development thanks to the capabilities of the virtual learning environment, which allows them to build their own learning path and consciously master the learning information. The advantage of blended learning is a more appropriate distribution of study time, high adaptability and interactivity, a deeper understanding and analysis of program material by students. The appropriateness of the application of educational technologies of blended learning was analyzed on the example of studying the course "Theory and Practice of Translation of Epistolary Texts (French)" by students of Kazan Federal University. The material for testing was an electronic educational resource developed specifically for the development of this educational discipline. An analysis of the results of the pilot training shows that the introduction of these technologies increases the significance and effectiveness of the educational process due to its individualization and differentiation, and also develops the creative thinking of students, forms their responsibility and ability to self-management.

The objective of this study was to determine whether higher education institutions, teachers and students of the specialization in musical art are prepared to create and use the digital educational space in the educational process. The study involved the following methods: literature review and analysis of the content of official documents of higher educational institutions that provide professional training for music teachers; survey; mathematical methods of data processing; Statistica software package. The research has shown that not all higher educational institutions have the necessary resources to implement learning in the digital education space. Besides, not all higher educational institutions teach subjects that help improve students’ digital literacy. There are also teachers who have difficulties using the digital educational space in the learning process due to lack of digital literacy. The study demonstrated awareness of the importance of using the digital educational space in the education of future music teachers. But, it is necessary to pay attention to improving the digital literacy of all participants in the educational process, as well as provide educational institutions with proper modern recourses, software, hardware and equipment, including also computer music technologies and electronic musical instruments.
