The survey has confirmed that quality and structure of educational courses are usually much better with distance learning than with traditional training forms. Distance learning comprises all actual learning methods and suggests a large number of assignments designed for independent study, with the probability of obtaining day-to-day consultations. It uses the latest accomplishments of interactive and information technologies and gives equal educational opportunities to students regardless of health, place of residence, financial security and elitism. Besides, the disadvantages of this form of learning over other forms and the reasons why distance education may be ineffective are given and explained in the article (lack of face-to-face conversations, one-side explanation and lack of constructive skills). The student must also have certain psychological traits and technical means such as a computer and an access to the Internet.

The aim of this article is to show how German students can be motivated by learning games. Apart from the development and didacticisation of the learning game “Marbles”, the attitude of  Turkish families and language teaching educational establishments and the support of the DaF lessons by German mediating institutions in Turkey will be considered. The attitude of Turkish families to learning foreign languages is mostly positive. Turkish educational authorities and those responsible for education take various measures to expand foreign language teaching availability in the schools. German institutions which provide teachers (Goethe-Institut, ZfA, DAAD) promote the improvement of German teaching in Turkey. Nevertheless, the quality of German teaching is not satisfactory mostly because the available teachers are not adequately qualified, teacher training is remote from practice, the quality of text books and teaching materials, the traditions of learning, the excessively large classes, inadequate learning environment (language cabinets and equipment), the nature and method of central examinations (multiple choice) and their significance in the Turkish educational system. In the long-term, this leads to frustration in both teachers and students. The Turkish educational authorities initially took measures to expand the availability of language teaching in the course of harmonisation of the Turkish educational system to that of the EU e.g. the introduction of a second foreign language. German mediating institutions ensure reasonable further training for teachers locally and in Germany and support the creation of teaching materials etc. The Ministry of Education in Turkey, has started to take measures for students to learn other languages such as German, French, Russian, Spanish, Japanese, Italian, Arabic, ethnic languages ​​in Turkey, et cetera in the educational institutions in addition to English. For example, in the Anatolian high schools two foreign languages are taught.  The Board for Higher Education in Turkey, has introduced second foreign language lessons in  foreign language teacher programs, envisioned to be taken for three semesters, in order for the language teachers to gain experience in the field of two languages.  Private education institutes are emphasizing that they are teaching more than one foreign language in order to draw more students. Families make an economic sacrifice for their children in order for them to learn foreign languages. It is observed that in some districts of certain major cities, teaching of foreign languages has started to be given as early as at kindergarten level. In Turkey, German is preferred as the second foreign language in general. Nowadays, German is the second preferred language from primary to high school in Turkey. The quality of German language lessons should be increased for more students to select German as the second foreign language in the coming years. Despite all these efforts, teaching foreign language is not up to the desired level in Turkey (Bayraktaroğlu, 2014, pp. 9-14; Demircan, 2014, pp. 17-22). For that reason, it is important that motivating teaching methods and teaching materials be developed for German teaching.

В статье рассмотрены особенности применения грамматико-переводного метода при изучении французского языка в российских учебных заведениях в XVIII ‒ первой половине XIX вв., описаны основные положения метода, приведены примеры учебных пособий, построенных на использовании грамматико-переводного метода, рассмотрены положения авторских методик изучения французского языка в указанный период, охарактеризованы достоинства и недостатки грамматико-переводного метода как способа иноязычного обучения в период становления лингвистики как науки до В. Гумбольдта, т. е. до понимания языка как отражения духа народа, а лишь как набор слов и свод грамматических правил для заучивания. С точки зрения развития образования в России период XVIII ‒ первой половины XIX вв. стал одним из самых значимых, что обусловлено историческими событиями этого времени, культурными преобразованиями в стране, коренными изменениями в жизни общества. Уровень образованности определялся способностью, как минимум, читать иноязычную литературу – до 1750-х годов практически единственный источник научно-технических знаний и литературных произведений, а как желаемый результат – готовностью к устному и письменному общению в условиях оживления торговых, дипломатических отношений и межличностных контактов с представителями других стран. Обучение иностранным языкам ‒ латыни, немецкому, французскому, позднее - английскому стало обязательным в открывшихся новых учебных заведениях ‒ университетах и гимназиях. The article considers the features of the use of the grammatical-translation method in the study of the French language in Russian educational institutions in the XVIII-first half of the XIX centuries, describes the main provisions of the method, gives examples of textbooks based on the use of the grammatical-translation method, considers the provisions of the author's methods of studying the French language in this period, describes the advantages and disadvantages of the grammatical-translation method as a method of foreign language teaching during the formation of linguistics as a science before V. Humboldt, i.e. before understanding the language as a reflection of the spirit of the people, but only as a set of words and a set of grammatical rules for memorization. From the point of view of the development of education in Russia, the period of the XVIII ‒ first half of the XIX centuries became one of the most significant, due to the historical events of this time, cultural transformations in the country, radical changes in the life of society. The level of education was determined by the ability, at least, to read foreign literature – until the 1750s, almost the only source of scientific and technical knowledge and literary works, and as a desired result-readiness for oral and written communication in the conditions of reviving trade, diplomatic relations and interpersonal contacts with representatives of other countries. Teaching foreign languages-Latin, German, French, and later English-became mandatory in the newly opened educational institutions-universities and gymnasiums.

The methodology of teaching foreign languages is constantly looking for ways to effectively master foreign languages by primary school students. The article deals with the possibility of using digital and multimedia technologies in the process of forming foreign language grammar competence of younger students on the example of the German language. The analysis of foreign experience proved the relevance of the introduction of such technologies in the teaching process of educational institutions of all levels, but it also noted the lack of studying the method of using digital and multimedia tools in the process of forming foreign language competence of primary school students, in particular when learning grammar in German. It is considered that in modern educational development conditions it is important to take into account the features of modern students, who are digital native, and the use of digital and multimedia technologies in German lessons is a natural and understandable tool for them. Future teachers and those, who are practicing the early language teaching, need to overcome psychological barriers and doubts about the effectiveness of new tools to make digital and multimedia technology a daily practice. The article proposes digital and multimedia resources and programs that can be used in the process of forming a foreign grammar competence at different stages of grammar processing, while fully complying with the requirements of the program "Foreign Languages for General and Specialty Educational Institutions 1-4 classes" of Ukraine. The comparative analysis of online resources intended for the study of foreign languages, including German, with the existing foreign language program for the New Ukrainian School (2018), taking into account the level of foreign language communication competence at the time of graduation from 4th grade, allowed to systematize existing digital networks on the Internet and cartoon resources in accordance with vocabulary stock and vocabulary topics, which will help to apply them effectively in German lessons, to increase the motivation of younger students, to encourage an independent study of a foreign language
