The article investigates a number of theoretical aspects on the particularities of the information and computer technologies usage in teaching foreign languages in higher education institutions. The advantages and challenging aspects of the use of information and computer technologies in language education are overviewed. The methodological potential of the implementation of information and computer technologies is considered in two directions: the expansion of didactic opportunities for searching, processing, analyzing, using and making presentations of educational information and activation of the educational process by enhancing students’ motivation. The main problems of information and computer technologies usage in the process of teaching and learning foreign languages are systematized, among which, in particular: technical, legal, methodological, psychological, pedagogical, teachers’ qualification and lack of funding. A critical analysis of existing types of information and computer technologies in foreign language teaching was introduced. Given the existing approaches, the typology of information and computer technologies is represented, where the groups are singled out according to the following criteria: accessibility, method of communication, availability of a portal for teachers, availability of information and communication component, means and degree of use of information and computer technologies in educational activities. Adequate selection of computer technologies in accordance with these criteria contributes to the efficiency of the learning process, provides additional tools for feedback and control. Perspective directions of further researches are seen as: organization of distance learning with the use of computer technologies; development of scientific and methodological support for the introduction of computer technology in foreign language teaching; development of exercise systems for different age groups, proficiency levels, etc.; particularities of introduction of computer technologies in professionally oriented teaching of foreign languages, etc. Taking into account the above advantages of using computer technology, we are positive that their implementation into the educational process is an additional motivating factor that allows to verify the types of educational activities, promotes the formation of creative potential of the students

Basic Features

The article analyzes how professors and students of MGIMO-University’s School of International Relations perceive innovations in language teaching.As a synergy system, language teaching relies on selfdevelopment based to a great extent on innovations, which can be initiated either from the inside or from the outside. To identify the basic features of innovations in foreign language teaching, the authors conducted a survey of professors and students of the School of international Relations. The results suggest that for most respondents the main purpose of innovations in foreign language teaching and learning is to attain a significantly higher level of communicative competence, which is seen as feasible only if fundamentally new teaching materials and computer technologies are used. According to the survey, the success of innovations largely depends on their source (innovations ‘from the top’ and innovations ‘from the bottom’) and commitment on the part of professors and students to participate in them, the latter being often prompted by their discontent with the state of play. Innovations ‘from above’ tend to be more encompassing and affect the entire system of language education, whereas innovations ‘from the bottom concern the teaching process per se. Though the survey suggests that it is innovations ‘from the top’ that tend to be more successful, the authors conclude that language education as a synergy system adopts only non-shattering innovations that address its most vital needs, thus encouraging its sustainable development.

Abstract In recent years, in Nepal, while some languages of the nation are on the verge of extinction, some foreign languages (such as Japanese, Korean, Chinese) are emerging as new attractions among the youths and adults and are widely taught in the marketplaces through the private sector initiative. Against this backdrop, in this article, we have examined the current foreign language teaching and learning situation drawing on qualitative empirical data obtained from the institutes involved in foreign language instruction in a city in Gandaki Province of Nepal. The data were collected from a survey in forty institutes, ten individual interviews and five focus group discussions. Drawing on the data, an ecological model was adopted, which focused on dynamic interaction, co-existence, and competition among languages, and findings were discussed in line with these aspects of ecological understanding. Findings revealed that learning foreign languages has been established as a conduit towards economic gains and opportunities for employment and education, which has largely been contributory towards reshaping the ecological relationship among the foreign languages in Nepal.
