The article deals with the use of foreign language distance learning for first-year foreign students of economic specialties. The implementation of distance learning is one of the ways to modernize the education in Ukraine in the context of globalization and the intensive development of information technologies. Distance technologies are now widely used in many fields of education, especially when teaching a foreign language to inophones. Creating an effective learning system, based on information technology, is an urgent task at all levels of education. One of the systems focused on the professional development of future specialists is the system of teaching students a foreign language using information technology. The possibilities of organizing the educational process are not limited to traditional and distance learning. There is a significant educational sector in which distance learning cannot be fully applied, but individual elements of e-learning can be used (in particular, distance learning technologies). It is referred to full-time and part-time (1-2 courses) forms of higher education. The mixed learning has become a special role as a more perfect model of the educational process organization, which takes the advantage of distance learning and compensates for these disadvantages. To improve the organization of the educational process for the language training of foreign students, we consider appropriate to use the materials of distance courses in the models of mixed learning. The options for integrating distance learning into the traditional system of language training for foreigners in the mixed learning models have been analyzed. When integrating the model into a traditional educational process at this stage of foreigners' training, it is suggested to use the distance course developed by us with the prevailing classroom component, because the degree of students' independent work in learning the teaching material of the discipline in the first year is not high. The structure and content of the distance course «Foreign Language» (educational-professional sphere of communication connection), designed on the Moodle platform, are considered in the article. The importance of using distance technologies in the process of organizing language training for foreign students is noted. It contributes to the formation of professional competence of future specialists in the field of economics.

Introduction. Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, distance learning has become the main way to get education in higher education institutions in the Russian Federation. In the new conditions of academic activity, it is necessary to review approaches to the organization of training, existing methods and technologies for teaching Russian as a foreign language (RKI). Materials and methods. The purpose of the research is to show the advantages and disadvantages of the process of teaching Russian as a foreign language in a remote format from the point of view of foreign students and teachers of Russian as a foreign language. To achieve this goal, the authors use the following methods: the questionnaire method, the method of comparative analysis and systematization, and the content analysis method. The survey included 138 foreign students of the pre-University program from 29 countries and 52 teachers of Russian as a foreign language from Peter the Great Saint Petersburg Polytechnic University (SPbPU). Results. The survey made it possible to identify the advantages and disadvantages of distance learning in the organizational aspect, in the psychological aspect (for students and teachers), in the methodological aspect for teachers and in the educational (educational) aspect for students. The advantages of distance learning include, first of all, saving time on the road (93% of students) and the availability of electronic educational resources (89% of students and 100 % of teachers), etc. The main disadvantages are: complete dependence on technology and the quality of the Internet (100% of students and teachers); lack of practical communication in Russian (96% of students); an increase in the share of independent work in the educational process (91% of students); a significant increase in the amount of time spent preparing for classes (100% of teachers); the negative impact of distance learning on health (100%), etc. Discussion and conclusion. The results of the survey allow us to determine the trajectory of further methodological research in the development of new learning technologies. In modern conditions, online learning is becoming an integral part of the educational process, in which the technological learning environment should contribute to the formation of an innovative model of academic activity of foreign students in language training for higher education in the Russian Federation.

The study employed one data collection tool which was an online questionnaire. The questionnaire was completed by 38 Saudi students at the Community College of King Saud University in the second semester of the academic year 2020. The examination and analysis of the data showed that listening to English songs motivated the Saudi students to learn English in a self-study mode, augmented their English vocabulary, improved their speaking skill and developed their spelling or writing skill to a considerable extent. It is, therefore, recommended that more large-scale quantitative or qualitative studies on the role of English songs in Saudi students’ self-learning of English as a foreign language be conducted to confirm the findings of the present study, challenge them or yield new ones.
