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.

The use of new technological tools in the classroom enables many new ways of teaching in foreign languages. Unlike the old methods that rely on unidirectionality, new technologies also require new ways of teaching, managing work, and therefore a new ethos. The introduction of new technologies also leads to a change in the status of the teacher, which also requires a change in the training strategy. This article reflects a pedagogical experiment aimed at testing the readiness of both the teacher and the students to acquire new knowledge and skills in a modern, interactive way. For this purpose, during the whole course of foreign language training over two semesters at the Medical College at the Medical University - Plovdiv, two groups of students in the specialties "Medical Cosmetics" and “Instructor in Food Safety” are taught in two different ways - one studying English in the traditional way with a textbook, while the other using only "interactive" methods without using textbooks or similar tools. At exit, a survey is conducted among one of the groups of students to evaluate their attitude towards the new approaches in learning a foreign language.
