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 article considers the linguadidactical possibilities of using video materials in the educational process and substantiates the expediency of their use in German language classes. It is established that working with video materials mainly promotes the development of skills and abilities of listening and speaking, as well as actively contributes to the formation and further development of socio-cultural competence. The use of video in the classroom allows to individualize learning and intensify the selfdirected work of students. The introduction of video materials in the classroom also provides opportunities to create an artificial foreign language environment at any time and stage of study, adds a sense of realism, and promotes the development of audile and memory. Recently, there has been a notable increase of interest in educational videos as an effective means of teaching a foreign language, and the effectiveness of using video in German classes depends on the level of language training of students, thorough thematic selection of films and educational goals. The potential of videos is fully exploited if you integrate different activities. The most active and truly creative form of modern video work is the independent creation and viewing of video episodes. Working with video removes even a small risk of passive-receptive consumption of information, as well as increases the role of independent creative work. Preparatory explanatory conversations about the video are more useful than watching and working on the video itself, which can often only be an occasion for real communication and facilitate further understanding of the film. In addition, the effectiveness of foreign language teaching by this tool is also facilitated by the technical capabilities of video. Methodological processes based on the perception of image and sound can be used to achieve various goals of educational activities, development of creative abilities and skills through exercises for commenting and making dialogues. The use of video contributes to a more effective coverage of new language and subject material, strengthening and practical application of knowledge, the formation of receptive capabilities, executive skills and productive word use. Also, the use of video materials introduces elements of novelty, significantly expands and diversifies classes, increases cognitive activity and motivation of students, interests them in learning a particular topic and a foreign language in general

The article focuses on ways to intensify the educational activities of students, to increase their motivation and the quality of knowledge obtained during the study of lexical units of a foreign language using game technologies. The article substantiates the effectiveness of gamification as a new way of organizing training, which has a huge pedagogical potential. It is proved that the use of tools for various games in the educational process increases the probability of achieving the goal, because using game practices, gamification does not turn reality into a game, but gives students game settings that correspond to reality to achieve professional tasks in the context of reality. The authors present a method of using a modern scenario for organizing students' play activities on any topic. It includes components for using game techniques in the classroom – word search, memory game, bingo, and crossword puzzle. Skills of using such techniques help students in the process of learning a foreign language, motivating students to independent creative work and solving problems within the framework of gamification, accompanying the entire educational cycle. Gamification helps to replace external motivation with internal motivation. By modeling certain behavior of students, the teacher increases their integration without their awareness of this fact. Unconscious involvement activates involuntary attention, which is the most effective means of assimilating up to 90 % of information. Active methods encourage students to become the main participants in the educational process. And teamwork when performing a task with gamification elements becomes an important factor in the development of emotional contact between all participants. To help the teacher should come modern educational platforms, where the teacher will adjust their material to the level of training and motivation of students.

The article focuses on the peculiarities of teaching speaking in E-learning educational environment, which today is a must for organizing educational process of high quality. The material to analyze is based on the on-line part of the course "Foreign language practice (English)", worked out for the students of Bachelor’s Program "Pedagogical Education (double major) and Second Foreign language " (5 years, full time) of Kazan Federal University. The status of foreign language teachers has always been high as they play an important role in fostering cross-cultural communication, in promoting tolerance and bridging nations and countries. It is up to teachers to make students understand the essence of successful communication that lies in respecting the diversity of cultures, peoples, nations, and languages. In this respect being culturally competent is of great importance (MINGAZOVA; MELLO; GAFIYATOVA, 2017). The course "Foreign language practice (English)" is located on the platform edu.kpfu.ru. Special attention is paid to the implementation of a communicative approach when teaching speaking, considering the individual educational trajectory of the student or the study group. In addition, the research gives the gist of the theoretical analysis and the results of the experimental testing of the teaching speaking approaches, the effectiveness of the methods used when forming speaking skills of the students. Thus, we could state that when teaching speaking in E-learning educational environment, it is necessary to conduct preparatory stages in the form of studying and training new vocabulary online, which leads to the possibility to give more time to group forms of work during face-to-face classes. The groundwork and analysis of the selected factual material indicate that, teaching speaking can be effectively carried out online, if certain requirements are met, such as the use of a communicative approach, the proper organization of individual and group work, high self-discipline and motivation of the student and the teacher. The use of E-learning educational environment can improve the quality of training speaking skills in higher educational institution.

The article is devoted to the opportunities of blended learning, which is used in teaching foreign languages to students of non-linguistic specialties at Baikal State University. Since recently, the education system has been undergoing significant changes in terms of educational process organization. This is primarily due to global digitalization processes, as well as the forced move to blended or mixed forms of work during the pandemic. The authors of the article suggest using the term blended learning, since such terms as full-time learning, part-time learning do not reflect the whole essence of work in teaching a foreign language. The relevance of using a blended learning is determined by the taught discipline itself - a foreign language, since it is impossible to form the necessary skills and competencies only within the framework of classroom hours. A foreign language instructor has always used a mixed type of work, which has grown into a modified form today. The article analyzes some theoretical issues and provides an overview of blended learning practice. It is also describes the advantages of using this form in the educational process in general and in teaching foreign languages, in particular. In conclusion, the authors point out the necessity of using this form of work in teaching foreign languages.
