This paper discusses the role of tutors when engaging with e-learning of foreign languages. Understanding the importance of these roles and identifying necessary tutoring skills is paramount for the success of e-learning solutions. The tutor must be equipped with an appropriate set of skills and attributes in addition to subject matter expertise. He facilitates learning, using a combination of skills that encompass information and IT expertise, expertise in the educational uses of online learning resources and communication technologies. When tutoring, the person should be able to listen to their pupil, possess the ability to understand the areas of difficulty from the perspective of the pupil und be a real enthusiast in teaching, to sit beside the students, solving a particular problem, not in front of them as in traditional education. Certainly good communicating skills, common sense, getting feedback and high-quality material are of high importance. They understand the differences of the students in their classroom. Their goal is to help students grow and succeed. They differentiate instruction, monitor progress, and provide feedback for students, because each student is unique in their own way. They have different cultural backgrounds, interests, experiences, needs, and performance styles. Based on their differences, each one requires different care in order to grow and be successful.

AbstractSeveral decades of research have addressed the role of information and communication technologies (ICTs) in industrial-organizational (I-O) psychology. However, segmented research streams with myriad terminologies run the risk of construct proliferation and lack an integrated theoretical justification of the contributions of ICT concepts. Therefore, by identifying important trends and reflecting on key constructs, findings, and theories, our review seeks to determine whether a compelling case can be made for the uniqueness of ICT-related concepts in studying employee and performance in I-O psychology. Two major themes emerge from our review of the ICT literature: (a) a technology behavior perspective and (b) a technology experience perspective. The technology behavior perspective with three subcategories (the “where” of work design, the “when” of work extension, and the “what” of work inattention) explores how individual technology use can be informative for predicting employee well-being and performance. The technology experience perspective theme with two subcategories (the “how” of ICT appraisals and “why” of motives) emphasizes unique psychological (as opposed to behavioral) experiences arising from the technological work context. Based on this review, we outline key challenges of current ICT research perspectives and opportunities for further enhancing our understanding of technological implications for individual workers and organizations.

The article reveals the implementation of innovative e-learning technologies in the process of mastering the discipline “Foreign language in the professional direction” by students of agricultural universities. Actual approaches to teaching humanities require the use of information-communication technologies (ICT) for educational purposes, that allows increasing the volume of educational materials and modernizing it with the help of multimedia presentation tools. The application of information-communication technologies contributes to the students’ mastering of foreign languages knowledge as a tool of communication in a global society and the development of their information competencies. Particular attention is paid to the characteristics of the content, structure and objectives of the electronic training course on learning English, German, Ukrainian and Russian as foreign languages for students of the distance learning form of Sumy National Agrarian University. The presented distance learning course is an innovative development exemplar, that provides learners’ study of educational textual, audio and video materials in the mode of independent work with a computer and facilitates regulating the order of interaction of students with a computer. Such interaction contributes to the improvement of the efficiency of the educational process through the introduction of new methods and means of teaching educational materials; stimulates students’ interest in the study of foreign languages through the use of innovative information-communication technologies; responsiveness of the feedback and the possibility of direct consultation with the teacher in the educational environment of the Moodle platform. The analysis of the experimental study results showed predominantly sufficient and high levels of humanitarian knowledge in experimental groups that were trained on the basis of the electronic course in the educational environment of Moodle platform; in contrast to the low and initial levels in the control groups.

Computer-supported collaborative learning (CSCL) has received increasing research attention owing to advances in e-learning technology and paradigmatic shifts in the educational arena. Owing to the growing diversity in student population in terms of nationality, the role of cultural diversity becomes greatly pronounced, and must be addressed. In this study, a laboratory experiment with a 2×2×2 factorial design was conducted, to investigate the interaction effects of perceived cultural diversity, group size, and leadership, on learners’ performance and satisfaction with process. Contrary to an expected negative relationship between perceived cultural diversity and performance, a positive relationship emerged as a result of leadership. Leadership lowered learners’ satisfaction with the process in perceived homogeneous groups (as compared to perceived heterogeneous groups) and smaller groups (as compared to larger groups).

Abstract The use of information and communication technologies (ICT) in teaching and learning foreign languages has risen sharply among the educational community. Teachers access and implement innovations without always realizing their full implications for them and their students. However, this is not necessarily a negative thing, because if no one used innovations, little progresses would be made and there would be nothing to evaluate. The article presents certain features of ICT that can be used to good advantage in a rich learning environment, and the use of video as an ICT tool in the foreign language class. The paper also discusses the role of the teacher in implementing technologies and we argue that it is the teacher, not the technology who determines the quality of the learning and teaching. There are people who are afraid that the teacher’s role would be compromised if we integrate information communication technologies in education; however we militate for a ‘techno-humanistic’ system, in which teachers, learners and technology would form a lasting meaningful alliance.

Abstract The schoolbook in general is important in the educational process and their own importance; given the role of the Arabic language in preserving the identity and culture of society, it is therefore necessary to pay attention to its design and preparation, so that it achieves the desired goals. It meets the standards and performance of the quality of the book and addresses the gap between the elements of the language and its skills. Teaching books include an important component in learning, therefore must meet the criteria of teaching books that are worth using in accordance with applicable provisions. And the teaching material in it is also good quality material. The purpose of this research is to find out the quality of the Arabic teaching book grade IV issued by the Ministry of Home Affairs in 2021. The methods used are library research and content analysis. Based on the results of the analysis can be known if there are still some errors in terms of content, presentation, language, and radiography. More research is needed on this book.Keywords: The School book _ standards _ goals _ skills. Teaching Book, Arabic

Distance education is not new. Correspondence courses date back over 150 years. Advances in information and communication technologies, particularly the Internet, open up a host of possibilities to study at a distance, making use of the latest advances in e-learning tools. However, it must be stressed that e-learning has to focus on the learning pedagogy and not just the technology. This chapter examines the role of learning in e-learning by reviewing state-of-the-art developments and innovations to support distance learning students and academics. It identifies strategies for successful learning through the evaluation of student experiences and considers methods and practices that can be employed for delivering a successful learning programme.

В образовательном сообществе резко возросло использование информационных и коммуникационных технологий (ИКТ) в преподавании и изучении иностранных языков. Учителя получают доступ к инновациям и внедряют их, не всегда осознавая их значение для самих себя и своих учеников. В статье представлены некоторые особенности ИКТ, которые можно использовать учебной среде, а также использование видео в качестве инструмента ИКТ на уроках иностранного языка. В данной статье также обсуждается роль учителя во внедрении технологий, именно учитель, а не технология, определяет качество обучения и преподавания. Роль учителя будет поставлена под угрозу, если мы интегрируем информационно-коммуникационные технологии в образование; однако в «техно-гуманистической» системе, учитель, ученики и технологии образуют прочный и значимый союз.

The aim of the research is to assess the learning process during a pandemic, provide feedback on this issue and promote a deeper understanding of the importance of the results of a Blended Learning Course project. This result clearly shows that effectiveness and satisfaction play an important role in involving students in this format of learning. It is obvious that the possibilities of self/ autonomous learning in BLC are significantly expanded. In general, it can be seen that the use of innovative and traditional forms of education makes it possible to obtain a much better result in the training of specialists. The experience of Vinnytsia State Pedagogical University in the implementation of blended learning shows that the integration of the traditional education system with e-learning is the most effective. The strategic plan for the development of the Pedagogical University for 2022 provides for the solution of a number of tasks that are directly related to the intensification of the use of digital technologies in the educational process.
