This article attempts to consider the types of cognitive activity of students in the process of learning foreign languages, including Russian as a foreign language. It contains a synthesis on this topic and practical results of the material implementation developed with the consideration of linguo-cognitive styles of students. Special attention is paid to the analytical cognitive style that is inherent in the students of technical fields. Considering the features of the linguo-cognitive picture of students with a predominantly analytical cognitive style, the authors conclude that these features are innate to the students from European countries who speak European languages and studied within the European educational system. Attention is paid to the consideration of cognitive styles in the existing training materials on RFL. The textbook, created by a group of authors (editor-in-chief Avdeyeva), which is addressed to students of the engineering field, was given as an example. Moreover, the article analyses the special course by Krasnokutskaya, developed at the Pushkin State Russian Language Institute and addressed to European students studying Russian as a foreign language. Based on the analysis and testing of mentioned training materials, conclusions on the feasibility of further development of such manuals are drawn.

The ability to work in more tasks in every field life it’s hard goal to achieve. I can affirm with proof that you need to train constantly for it. It means that you have to train the mind and the action through the same direction. I’ve been trained myself in this task as personal experience of life. Since I was twenty I’ve held many important and hard tasks that have changed my mind results. It’s the same in the field of learning, studying and teaching foreign languages. If you don’t train quite every day your memorization, it’s quite impossible to learn a foreign language. A professional professor in foreign languages is normally used to teach one, two languages or sometimes more, and it’s difficult in any case. According to my experience I got the special training to teach in contemporary more languages, I mean at the same time, to switch more languages, so it happens that I teach more languages in the same day and even in the same hour, without any difficulty. It’s possible only because my mind is always well trained. It’s for example, when you change language, you must remember all skills, in contemporary with other languages, it’s so when I teach English, German, French, Russian, Arabic, Italian, etc.. It’s not easy to train the mind in this way, but you can succeed if you do the right training. It’s important to be conscious about the power of the mind, when we want to learn a foreign language. It’s not easy but you must focus in hard training to get true results. The mistake is to think to learn a language without passion just for a duty, in this way you will never learn it; it’s the first step in helping the memorization. Then you will find the next step to follow the training of memorization.

The article examines innovative aspects of distance learning of a foreign language using ICT in current epidemiological realities. The authors have analysed advantages of the introduction of ICT in distance learning of foreign languages as an effective technical visual and auditory tool and a mean of educational and cognitive activity of students, which helps to increase the motivation and desire of students to learn a foreign language. Means of increasing interactive and communicative activity in the process of learning foreign languages have been researched. The use of ICT in the educational process (foreign language teaching) makes it possible to bring something new to the usual forms of work of a teacher of higher education institution and a teacher of general secondary education, which contributes to discovering more interesting, more comprehensive and more complete innovative potential of distance learning. In this context, the use of ICT contributes to a clearer presentation of even complex learning material and thus allows to reduce learning time for successful mastering of topics. With the implementation of ICT (Zoom, Skype, Teams, etc.) in the process of distance learning of a foreign language, you can not only create an artificial foreign language environment, but also bring it closer to the natural, through the organization of communication with native speakers. Thanks to ICT in the process of distance learning it is possible to solve problems of learning foreign languages in cooperation, as well as individualization and differentiation of learning considering various factors: level of foreign language proficiency, speed of learning, time limits, learning style, personal educational needs and learning pathways etc.

The article presents an analysis of innovative teaching technologies as a way to increase students’ competitiveness. The author found that innovative technologies in education are information and communication technologies relying on computer-based learning. The structure, content of educational software, organization of Web-space are important when using innovative teaching technologies in English classes. We conducted the study in several stages: comparative analysis, synthesis, classification and systematization of the results of psychological and pedagogical, educational and methodological research; study of legislative acts, periodicals in order to identify the state of the research issue, and determining the directions of its solution, as well as subject, goal and objectives of the study. We used modelling to create situations of foreign language professional communication of future IT specialists. Empirical methods involved questionnaires used for identifying the motives of professional development and determining the features of the educational activities of future IT specialists in the process of training. The methods of mathematical statistics allowed to scientifically describe and systematize the obtained data, to identify the quantitative relationship between the studied phenomena, to analyse and summarize the results. We conducted a socio-psychological study during 2016 - 2019. It involved 255 first- and fourth-year students of National Technical University of Ukraine “Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute.” Innovative information and communication technologies that improve the educational and cognitive activity of students, as well as increase the level of their knowledge have become important in teaching a foreign language in higher educational institutions. These technologies include MOODLE — Modular Object-Oriented Dynamic Learning Environment, business game, integrated pedagogical technology, case study technology. Thus, the information-rich learning process in combination with the use of innovative technologies, well-organized e-learning, interactive training courses, multimedia tools improves the program of teaching and learning foreign languages in general, and English in particular, improves the level of knowledge of future IT specialists and motivation to study and learn foreign languages, allows students to use a variety of authentic materials. We state that all these factors influence the process of individualization of learning and contribute to the successful mastery of a foreign language.

The tasks after watching a movie include exercises on understanding of the content, as well as the consolidation and introduction of the new vocabulary in the broadcast. 4. The broadcast of feature films has both an emotional effect, and serves as an impetus for activating an additional stimulus in the next educational, practical, and creative activity. The analysis made it possible for us to determine that the film's review must include the appropriate purpose, everyday situations, clear dialogues, in which repetitive words and phrases that occur on the film repeatedly help to better remember the new vocabulary and as a result – the development of speech activity students The ability to compare read and seen causes excessive interest of students and activates them into cognitive activity. The feature film is not a universal admission, but it has certain prerogatives: it provides work of educational value, which helps in the process of intensive language proficiency; suppresses the psychological potential of the student (development of attention, memory, thinking); promotes the interconnection of various types of speech activity; takes into account peculiarities of language usage in various stylistic aspects, etc.
