Organization of Foreign Languages Blended Learning in COVID-19 Conditions by Means
            of Mobile Applications

The article discusses the theoretical aspects of the organization of blended foreign language learning caused COVID-19 under the conditions of the quarantine. We analyzed different points of view on the process of using mobile applications in the study of foreign languages. We considered the possibilities of four mobile applications Duolingo, Simpler, Hello Talk, EWA with their main advantages and disadvantages. In the context of the research topic, conducted a survey of first and fifth-year students, in which 100 students took part from Karazin and Berdyansk universities. The survey was conducted among students of philological specialties in order to determine the most acceptable conditions for using mobile applications in the process of learning foreign languages. The survey results showed that students, in general, positively perceive the use of mobile applications in the educational process, taking into account the possibility of teachers’ support. The study showed the need to use mobile applications in the process of learning foreign languages in the context of the introduction of quarantine and blended learning as a forceful way to organize effective work with students.

The research is devoted to the experimental verification of the effectiveness of multimedia language laboratories in foreign language learning (on the example of the specialty «Translation»). The study represents the capabilities of multimedia language laboratories in the foreign language learning and the advantages and disadvantages of their use. The article discusses the concepts of “multimedia technologies” as digital delivery of content using more than one medium which influences several perception channels of information, and “multimedia linguistic laboratories” as computer classrooms equipped with E-Presenter, multimedia projector, interactive whiteboard and peripheral equipment. Multimedia presentations, electronic studies manuals and Internet access are used to provide the future interpreters with necessary knowledge for doing translation. Modern multifunctional computer software gives the future interpreters the opportunity to form the competence in listening. The use of Skype and Viber helps to develop communicative skills providing communication and cultural interaction with native speakers. MLL’s software and hardware complex provides teachers with a powerful toolkit that helps to create, edit and save tests, conduct tests and collect results, quickly assess and comment on the answers. The statistical calculations confirmed that the implementation of multimedia technology in the educational process, the correct and systematic use of MLL in the foreign language learning, can not only diversify learning process, but also help the future interpreters to achieve a high level of the foreign language competence. The use of MLL revealed a number of methodological advantages over traditional ways of teaching. The authors see the prospects for further research in the creation of appropriate pedagogical conditions for implementing information and communication technologies in the process of training future interpreters.

Practice Of Teaching

The article is deals with the search for effective ways to organize independent work of students of non-language educational institutions. The author notes that the modernization of national education requires consideration of integration processes in European and world education. In this regard, it is necessary to ensure a modern attitude to educational standards, change the content of education, make adjustments to the direction of the educational process, approve a personality-oriented pedagogical system, introduce innovative teaching methods. The main purpose of teaching foreign languages in higher non-language institutions is to prepare specialists for practical knowledge of a foreign professionally oriented language. Mastering a foreign language is considered as the acquisition by students of communicative competence for practical use of a foreign language, namely: work with relevant foreign literature on the specialty, participate in conversation and international conferences, write articles in a foreign language, correspond with foreign partners. The main goals of students' individualization of foreign language learning include the following: filling gaps in the level of foreign language proficiency and timely elimination of the gap; development of intellectual outlook, mental qualities of the personality of students who play a leading role in mastering foreign language speech; formation of an individual style of mastering a foreign language; creating a positive emotional background of the educational process. In the context of an individually oriented approach to teaching foreign languages in the theory and practice of teaching, the concepts of autonomous learning stand out. Studies of the theory and practice of teaching a foreign language to students show that the introduction into the educational process of three main types of different types of independent work (copying, reproducing and creative) is quite appropriate. Key words: foreign language, independent work, individual approach, globalization.

Points Of View

Foreign language learning in Indonesia constitutes an attempt for Indonesians to be able to absorp and keep up with the development of science and technology in the world, and to provide a way for Indonesian people to interact with other global members. On the other hand, there appears some concern that there may be infiltration of foreign values, especially from the West, that might weaken the learners‘ identities as Indonesians. This concern has emerged because foreign language learning generally presents Western elements of cultures and values. If it is not critically examined, these Western values are likely to change the learners‘ points of view of cultural values appropriate to be practised in their lives. Foreign language learning is also suspected as a means for the West to extend the Western hegemonies over the East such as Indonesians. This article explores a number of issues: (i) learning situations of foreign languages in Indonesia, (ii) Western hegemonic forms over the Eastern world through foreign language learning and (iii) alternative forms of foreign language learning based on ethnopedagogic and intercultural values.
