The using of modern Internet-technologies in a foreign language teaching is one of the most promising areas from the standpoint of optimizing the educational process. We propose the author’s definition of the term Internet-technology, which refers to the multi-species system of in-teraction between a teacher and a student with using modern technical tools of the Internet, aimed at the realization of the tasks set by communication. Also group blog is defined as the most promising subtype of Internet-technologies. It was given the author’s definition as a collective blog in which students from one group publish their work for further discussion with the aim of developing thought-thinking skills. The constituent elements of the communication act, including the participants, purpose, theme, language tools and circumstances, are implemented with group blog using. The advantage of didactic properties and methodological functions of the group blog in the formation and development of the communication skills “reading”, “writing”, “speaking”, “speech” and “listening” is noted. Studied in the scientific research center type of blog is presented as a unified platform for communication and space for teamwork of users group and moderator. Based on the constant set of statuses and roles in the teacher–student dyad, the thematic focus of blog is determined by the moderator – completing of assignments, participation in discussion of published material, reflection on other users’ messages.

The article discusses the role of a foreign language in the context of the realisation of the concept of lifelong education in Ukraine. The authors emphasize the importance of learning English as a foreign language which provides the opportunity for academic mobility, successful employment, competitiveness in the labour market and self-actualisation in any professional field, which in the long run will have a positive impact on social and economic development of the country. Nowadays a foreign language, English in particular, is considered not only as a discipline, but also a means of intercultural communication, an important tool of personal interaction in all spheres of human life. Therefore, learning English becomes an important component of lifelong education. According to the authors, the effectiveness of lifelong education depends on a number of factors, namely the compliance of knowledge and skills with professional and personal needs, the degree of active involvement of students in learning, productive feedback of participants in the educational process, implementation of the principle of continuity in education, sustained motivation, academic achievements. Since the leading role in the implementation of the concept of lifelong education belongs to the state, the authors consider it necessary to create the following conditions: to encourage foreign language training at all levels of the education system and provide favourable environment for learning a foreign language; to improve the regulatory framework for lifelong education; to ensure the continuity of educational standards and programmes; to involve employers, international organizations and other stakeholders in the process of training, including the development of curricula, standards, assessment of quality of education; to provide flexible, variable, student-centred programmes and their compliance with current labour market needs; to create new forms of organisation of educational activity; to introduce effective multifunctional distance learning platforms widely; to support foreign language training courses for employed and unemployed population; to integrate international teaching experience, modern pedagogical technologies; to enhance teacher training and professional development.Key words: lifelong education, foreign language teaching, motivation, continuity of education, professional training. Стаття присвячена дослідженню ролі іноземної мови в контексті реалізації концепції неперервної освіти в Україні. Автори наголошують на важливості вивчення іноземної мови, яка забезпечує можли-вість академічної мобільності, успішного працевлаштування, конкурентоспроможності на ринку праці та самореалізації в будь-якій професійній діяльності, що в перспективі матиме позитивний вплив на соціально-економічний розвиток країни. У сучасних умовах іноземна мова, зокрема англійська, сприймається не тільки як навчальна дисципліна, а і як засіб міжкультурної комунікації, важливий інстру-мент спілкування в усіх сферах життєдіяльності людини. Тож навчання іноземної мови стає вагомим складником неперервної освіти. На думку авторів, ефективність системи неперервної освіти залежить від низки чинників, а саме відповідності знань і вмінь професійним та особистим потребам, ступеня активного залучення студентів у навчальний процес, забезпечення продуктивного зворотного зв’язку учасників освітнього процесу, реалізації принципу наступності в освіті, наявності стійкої мотивації, досягнення успіхів у навчанні. Оскільки провідна роль у реалізації концепції неперервної освіти належить державі, автори вважають необхідним створення таких умов: посилення іншомовної підготовки на всіх рівнях освіти й забезпечення загальнодоступного освітнього середовища для вивчення іноземної мови; удосконалення нормативно-правової бази неперервної освіти; наступність освітніх стандартів і програм; залучення роботодавців, міжнародних організацій та інших стейкхолдерів на всіх етапах професійної підготовки майбутніх фахівців, від дидактичної участі в розробці програм і стандартів до оцінювання якості освіти; забезпечення гнучкості, варіативності, студентоцентрованості освітніх програм і їх відповідності сучасним потребам ринку праці; створення нових форм організації навчаль-ної діяльності; широке впровадження в освітній процес ефективних мультифункціональних платформ дистанційного навчання; організація навчальних курсів, зокрема іноземних мов, для активного працездатного та безробітного населення; залучення зарубіжного педагогічного досвіду, сучасних освітніх технологій; посилення підготовки та якісне підвищення кваліфікації педагогічних працівників.Ключові слова: неперервна освіта, навчання іноземної мови, мотивація, наступність освіти, професійна підготовка.

The article is devoted to one of the problems of foreign language education – the definition of the role of interpretation in preparing students of special (language) directions to participate in the dialogue of cultures. Interpretation is considered as a phenomenon and as a way of comprehending reality, which allows the subjects of the dialogue of cultures to reach mutual understanding. The main characteristic of interpretation, which is necessary for the purposes of foreign language education, is its psychological character. It is determined by the psychology of the author, the psychology of the work, as well as the psychology of the reader-interpreter. It is proved that the interpretation of a work of art, which has universal, historical and personal plans, has huge epistemological and axiological possibilities. They activate the entire educational potential of interperetation (educational, developmental, cognitive, and educational). Russian Russian poet A. A. Fet (1820–1892) uses the poem “Wir saßen am Fischerhaus” by the famous German poet and publicist Heinrich Hein (1797–1856) and the translation of this poem into Russian to illustrate the interpretation technology. The poem is considered as a space of personal meanings of the author. They are the ones that are subject to interpretation and bring the reader-interpreter back from the poet's world to the modern real world. And the real world is full of unexpected cultural facts, closely related to the content of the work of G. Heine, with distant Lapland and the life of modern lapps. Thus, interpretation is presented as an educational strategy. Together with the strategies of contextualization, philologization and argumentation, it ensures the achievement of the main goal of foreign language education – the creation of an individual who can act as a genuine subject of the dialogue of cultures. The article also emphasizes the importance of the teacher as the organizer of the educational process and the subject of the dialogue of cultures.

An integral part of the formation of the New Ukrainian School is an inclusive component, which forms a new philosophy of society based on the understanding of diversity and equality for all. Involvement in education and constant support of children with special educational needs should take place at all stages of receiving complete secondary education, especially in primary school. The paper discusses the features of inclusive foreign language teaching in primary school. Based on the research analysis, pedagogical observation of the educational process in English lessons in inclusive classes, the conclusion is made that it is important for primary school English teachers to use clear and comprehensive instructions before doing exercises and tasks, introduce and maintain the learning routine (greeting, a permanent place for writing homework, questions at the beginning and at the end of the lesson, etc.), change the types of tasks frequently, adapt previously used exercises to the new learning conditions, use scaffolding strategies. The article presents a set of exercises and tasks to use in English lessons when studying the topic “My home” in an inclusive 3rd grade of a general secondary education institution, as well as checklists for self-and peer evaluation of the inclusiveness of the learning environment for English teachers. The exercises and tasks of the set were tested in the 3rd-B grade of Ternopil schools No. 16 and No. 7. The final assessment of the educational achievements of students in English in the second semester of the 2020 / 2021 academic year confirmed the effectiveness and appropriateness of using these exercises and tasks in the English lessons. Checklists for self-and peer evaluation of the inclusiveness of the learning environment were tested and approved by English teachers and recommended for use in the educational process by foreign languages teaching methodology groups.

Subject-matter specialists teaching content via a foreign/second language in higher education often exhibit a meaning-based pedagogy, unsystematically attending to inaccurate language. This observational study examined whether two foreign-language-teaching-trained instructors teaching content in English in a Mexican undergraduate program would emulate these instructional patterns, or would attend to language favouring language-and-content-integrated pedagogy. In the study, over 400 instructional episodes, video-recorded during 18 hours of regular-classroom teaching, were analyzed using the COLT observation scheme (Spada & Fröhlich, 1995). Results showed that the foreign-language educators favoured content, erratically attending to inaccurate language during communication breakdowns. Language attention occurred reactively through word translations, lexical-gap scaffolding, and isolated explanations for non-target phonological forms. These instructional patterns may result from the language teachers’ newly assumed content-based instructional roles. To favour language attention during subject-matter teaching, language instructors need training and curricular support that helps them draw on their foreign language teaching experience as they deliver content.
