This work is devoted to the technology of teaching students to organize and conduct webinars as contributing to their motivation and improving their performance when developing professional foreign language skills. Utilizing webinars encompasses both turning the focus from the teacher-centered approach toward learner-centered one and studying outside the classroom effectively. The research presented was carried out at two universities in Irkutsk, Russia: Irkutsk State Linguistic University (2014-2015) and Irkutsk State University (2017). 45 students of the Universities with the major “Advertising and Public Relations” were the participants of the learning experiment. The sign test, Mann-Whitney-Wilcoxon U-test, were employed to confirm the results of the testing.

Despite the centrality of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) in language teaching and assessment, studies investigating its learning outcomes in language program evaluations are quite scarce. This paper aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a modular English preparatory school program through the Foreign Language Skills Scale. The research sample consists of 357 preparatory school students having attained B1+ level of proficiency in the program. The results revealed that while the language program designed to be in line with the CEFR guidelines, in general, serves for the needs of the students, there are still some discrepancies between the learning outcomes of B1+ and opinions of students about their competencies, especially in listening sub-skills.

Literary representations of emotions fascinate us as readers; they connect to us logically and naturally because we experience in our daily lives many of the emotional events depicted in novels, plays, and poems. Students are intrigued by the similarities and differences between their everyday feelings and the emotions represented in literature. Emotions are thus interesting processes to study, and in classroom discussions and activities most students have something to say about them. For this reason, I use emotion (broadly defined) as an important subject of inquiry in my literature and culture classes. In what follows, I share a structured journaling assignment based on emotion that helps students read with more detail, improves their foreign language skills, and boosts their engagement with difficult subject matter.
