The situation with a coronavirus challenged the education system and forced educators to shift to a fully E-learning. Many academic institutions were not ready for such a rapid change. The remote learning of foreign languages during the COVID-19 lockdown caused modern teaching technologies to expand the scope of the educational process, broaden its practical orientation, contribute to the intensification of students' independent work, increasing their cognitive activity. The goals of the article include: to define types and specifics of modern edTech for the educational process on the way of transition from no E-Learning to fully E-Learning; to eliminate the role of the Internet as means of information and communication edTech in teaching foreign languages at higher education establishments; to find out the ways of improving students' learning at higher educational establishments, the importance of using distance edTechs and Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, & Challenges (SWOC) analysis of E-learning techniques during the pandemic lockdown. This article also provides the examples of usage of different edTechs in Ukrainian higher education establismens in general. Drohobych Ivan Franko State Pedagogical University, Lviv State University of Life Safety, Odesa National Maritime University in particular.

The article examines the diagnostic tools for evaluating the formation of an environment-oriented component of competencies in students within the system of higher education. The authors present the set of diagnostic tools following their long-term work on identifying the experience of emotional and values-based attitude to nature as the most difficult element of the environment-oriented component of competencies to assess. The article substantiates the selection of diagnostic tools taking into account available environmental knowledge, skills, abilities and behavioural stereotypes of students. It focuses on determining the level of adapted social experience combining the experience of environment-oriented cognitive activity, environment-oriented work methods, environment-oriented creative activity, emotional and values-based attitude. The use of diagnostic tools is illustrated by experimental work within the educational process at A.V. Khrulev Penza Branch of the Military Academy of Logistics and Penza State University.

The relevance of the issues regarding information and communication technologies as components of effective training forms for higher education applicants is determined by the need to introduce information and communication applications into the educational process. Accordingly, the purpose of the article is to provide theoretical justification and experimental verification of the impact that information and communication technologies have on improving the higher education quality for applicants. To achieve this purpose, a complex of modern general scientific methods was used: theoretical (analysis, synthesis, generalisation, comparison); empirical (questionnaires, conversations, interviews, observations, expert assessment); statistical research methods that facilitated the study of scientific sources on information and communication technologies. Based on the theoretical and methodological analysis of the studied issue, it is determined that information and communication technology is a means of joint activity for a teacher and a higher education applicant, which is characterised, primarily, by the consistency of actions (algorithmicity), constant and systematic evaluation of educational achievements and the development of educational qualities (diagnostics), the relationship of the main technology elements, namely the purpose, content, forms, methods, means of interaction, and the results (consistency) of participants in the educational process. It was discovered that to present the material more interestingly and motivate applicants for higher education, it is necessary to use innovative teaching forms and methods, one of which is information and communication applications that contribute to enhanced logical thinking, cognitive activity, the creativity of students and the comprehensive personality development of the future pedagogical specialist. It is proved that these applications contribute to the easier assimilation of new educational material, the creative performance of practical tasks, and productive cooperation between teachers and applicants for higher education. The practical value of the research lies in the fact that the results obtained can be used in further studies on the influence of information and communication technologies on the communication of the educational process subjects

We consider the information and communication technology of conducting classes using intelligence cards that meets the requirements of the modern subject-subject paradigm of education, which obliges one to be guided by the principle of communication. This principle implies significant changes in the organization of the process of interaction between the teacher and students in the classroom. The following parameters characterize such a technology for conducting a lesson: speech-cognitive activity, functionality, heuristic, motivated actions, the search for personal meaning in the work of students in the lesson. To implement these parameters in the educational process at A.F. Mozhaysky Military Space Academy. and S. M. Kirov Military Medical Academy used the capabilities of intelligence cards as a tool for information and communication technology. The innovation of the latter lies in the fact that the educational process is based on the active work of students both during the lesson and during the organization of their independent work, allowing them to effectively absorb educational information and subsequently apply it in practical activities. The study reflects the experience and describes an effective educational methodology using intelligence cards for lectures, practical classes, independent work of students and their research work. As an illustrative example, one of the developed intelligence cards is given and the methodological support of the lesson on the study of measures aimed at maintaining and strengthening the health of military personnel is described.

The article reveals the concept formation of interactive teaching of foreign languages in higher educational establishments of Ukraine (second half of XX – beginning of XXI centuries). It has been determined that the term "interactive teaching" is relatively new one. Its implementation to the pedagogical thesaurus was carried out in the 90s of XX century, when the concept apparatus of pedagogical science was enriched actively by the research achievements of related sciences. It is proved that the concept "interactive teaching" by itself comes from the term "interactivity", which at that time was widely used in sociology.Based on the analysis of the leading scientific researches: sociological – symbolic interactionism, role theories and reference group theories (H. Blumer, M. Kun, J. Mid etc.), psychological – the concept of humanistic psychology (A. Maslow, K. Rogers, D. Moreno and  others),  social  perceptual  cognitive  theory  (K. Levin,  F. Haider,  T. Newcom, L. Festinger),   pedagogical   −    the   theory   of    active   learning,   studies   concerning intensification of education, providing cognitive activity, formation of educational and dialogical interaction (V. Guzieiev, M. Klarin, E. Polat, V. Slastonin etc.) it has been defined the scientific sources of the concept development of interactive teaching of foreign languages in higher education of Ukraine achievements of the second half of XX – beginning of XXI century. The study found that some scholars attribute concept formation of interactive teaching with the development of the Internet. Studying the phenomenon of interactive teaching in this dimension involves focusing attention on the implementation of information technologies, distance education, usage of Internet resources also e-books and reference books, work online and so on into educational process. At the same time, there is a view that interprets interactive nature of learning with more wider general and pedagogical standpoint as the ability to interact or be in the mode of dialogue with anyone (for example, a human being − teacher, student etc.) or anything (e.g., a computer). The contradiction on the understanding of the term "interactive teaching" lies in the scientific origins of the outlined problem, namely in the history of formation and development of the interactive teaching concept. It was found that the concept development of the interactive teaching of foreign languages was carried out on the basis of the so-called traditional model, which envisages the application of consciously comparative (L. Shcherba) and consciously practical (B. Beliaiev) teaching methods. The necessity to improve the process of teaching foreign languages  has  led  to  the  justification  of  the  intensive  method (H. Lozanov), the method of "enhancing of the individual and collective capabilities" (H. Kytaihorodska), the  method  of  "integrative  linguistic  and  psychological  training" (I. Rumiantseva) etc. It is proved that the scientific researches of the named scholars with the aim of implementing the identified innovations in educational practice have become a driving force in the concept development of interactive teaching of foreign languages in higher education of Ukraine of the study period.
