The work is devoted to identifying and substantiating the list of pedagogical conditions for teaching foreign language intercultural interaction of students based on the case method. At the present stage, the case method is one of the modern methods of problem learning, based on the students’ analysis of specific situations. The case method can be used in the development of the skills of foreign language intercultural interaction of students. However, in order to achieve the ef-fectiveness of the proposed teaching methods, it is necessary to identify and substantiate a number of pedagogical conditions. Based on the analysis of pedagogical and methods literature on the use of distance and information and communication technologies in foreign language teaching, as well as methods and approaches to teaching foreign language intercultural interaction of students, a list of such conditions is proposed. There are four of them: a) students’ proficiency in a foreign language at the B1 level and above; b) the ability and readiness of a foreign language teacher to draw up cases aimed at developing the skills of intercultural interaction; c) the ability and readiness of students for collective interaction in the process of completing cases; d) sequential execution of the stages of the cases. The work provides a detailed description of each of the pedagogical conditions.

The article aims to review existing literature on the pedagogical benefits as well as considerations regarding the integration of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) into second and foreign language teaching. Greater collaboration and interaction, enhanced motivation and access to a huge repository of web-based materials are among the most popular advantages of ICTs. At the same time, ICT-integration into language teaching can be challenging due to the emergence of “multiliteracies” and the not-so-ICT-competent students in the language classroom. Besides, there are language teachers who fear that their professional identity could be disrupted as they try to adopt new technologies in their teaching. However, the review also points out that technologies do not automatically result in any remarkable pedagogical benefits without teachers’ selective use. It is the teachers who enlarge the potentials of ICTs in promoting meaningful interactions and real intercultural reflections beyond the conventional language classrooms.

The 2019 coronavirus pandemic had a significant impact on the development of new innovative methods and forms of foreign language teaching that can organize distance or blended learning of a foreign language and continue to develop students’ subcompetencies that are part of a foreign language communicative competence. The project method is one of the problem-based teaching methods aimed at enhancing the speech-thinking activity of students in the process of completing a number of tasks. Its unique characteristic lies in the fact that this method can be used both in classroom and in blended or distance learning. However, despite the fact that in the methodic literature there are many studies devoted to the development of specific methods of foreign language teaching (aspects of language and types of speech activity) through information and communication technologies, the researchers did not come to a consensus on what stages the project methods should include. In our work, based on the analysis of the methodic literature, we identify eight stages of organizing the project work of linguistic university students. These include: 1) goal setting; 2) discussion of technical issues of organizing design work; 3) search, collection and processing of the necessary information on the Internet; 4) work on the project; 5) feedback from the teacher and students; 6) work to improve the draft version of the project; 7) presentation of the project; 8) project evaluation. An analysis of some well-known methodic studies devoted to the organization of project work of pupils and students is given, as well as a detailed description of stages of teaching.
