Most educational institutions' closure resulted in a dramatic change in education, marked by the emergence of distinctive e-learning, where teaching was conducted remotely and on digital platforms. The transition in the education system impacts various stakeholders, especially teachers and students, in various ways. One of the issues surrounding students' engagement in schools and the learning process became a hot topic again, considering that recently all countries in the world have been targeted by the spread of the global pandemic Covid-19. There is almost no learning process without the engagement and activeness of learners in the process itself. Students engaged in their learning are energized by curiosity, originality, and satisfying relationships, leading to better academic achievement. Through the theoretical review and content analysis, the authors explained that the ownership and engagement of learners in online learning could be achieved by combining several strategies.

The main aim of the AHKME e-learning platform is to provide a system with adaptive and knowledge management abilities for students and teachers. This system is based on the IMS specifications representing information through metadata, granting semantics to all contents in the platform, giving them meaning. In this platform, metadata is used to satisfy requirements like reusability, interoperability and multipurpose. The system provides authoring tools to define learning methods with adaptive characteristics, and tools to create courses allowing users with different roles, promoting several types of collaborative and group learning. It is also endowed with tools to retrieve, import and evaluate learning objects based on metadata, where students can use quality educational contents fitting their characteristics, and teachers have the possibility of using quality educational contents to structure their courses. The learning objects management and evaluation play an important role in order to get the best results in the teaching/learning process.

The article touches upon the problems of teaching English as a third foreign language in higher educational institutions of the Republic of Armenia. The students’ mother tongue, in this case, is Armenian. Russian is the first foreign language and French is the second one. Considering the fact that the students’ 2nd (French) and 3rd (English) foreign languages have significant similarities that can cause both positive transfer and negative interference, the teaching/learning process of English should be organized by paying special attention to the similarities and taking into account certain peculiarities. Accordingly, the use of correctly selected exercises can help in organizing the teaching/learning process more quickly and effectively. The author also introduces some “dangerous” language phenomena that may bring about undesirable interference in learning English after French. In addition, a number of exercise samples are provided that might be used to develop the students’ lexical, grammatical and phonological competences in teaching/learning English as a third foreign language.
