The relevance of this article is determined by the need to overcome the contradictions between the existing system of professional training in higher education and the requirements of society for qualified professionals capable of self-education and self-improvement throughout their lives. The purpose of the article is a theoretical substantiation of the use of the synthesis of English teaching methods, which are implemented in practice and which are aimed at activating the cognitive activity of arts students in higher educational institutions. In the teaching of certain disciplines in higher education institutions, teaching methods are used to activate the cognitive activity of students. From the point of view of teaching humanities, methods of programmed, problem-based, and interactive (communicative) teaching are used to control the formation of students’ thinking. The use of programmed learning is based on the idea of two-part learning activities: instructive and executive. Problems in the learning process involve a special organization of the acquired knowledge content when it is provided to students, not in the complete form, but as the desired unknown being part of the problem task (questions, tasks, situations), the intellectual activity of the student in search of this content constitutes the process of its assimilation. In the course of teaching the disciplines of the humanities, in particular foreign language teaching, methods of interactive (communicative) learning are considered as the main ones. Stimulation of cognitive activity occurs in the process of discussing certain issues and problems of educational material, when the teacher, on a par with students, participates in joint productive educational activities, in contrast to the interaction of two activities – educational and training. The results of the student survey showed that the use of the synthesis of the proposed methods of teaching a foreign language is one of the leading conditions for the formation of educational and cognitive motives in students of humanities. Activation of personality motivational components during the organization of educational activities takes place through the creation of conditions that provide a subjective position of students at each stage of the lesson.

The modern era of digital economy lays new claims to the system of education and professional learning. Digitation of higher education reveals new prospects for using digital resources to ensure accessibility, continuity and quality of education. The purpose of our investigation is to assess the effectiveness of the use of digital educational resources by students studying foreign languages. Principal methods of our research are as follows: bibliographic method of studying regulatory documents and scientific and methodological literature; the analysis of foreign language competences, mastering of which is the aim of foreign language teaching in a University; the study and generalization of working experience using digital technologies in foreign language teaching; experiment involving 24 students from MIREA – Russian Technological University. As a result of the study frequency of thematic terms and notions use in scientific-teaching literature and Internet search requests was defined; the analysis of modern digital educational technologies forming students’ foreign language competences was made; foreign language competences analyzed in the experiment were described; an experiment involving the comparison of application efficiency in using traditional and digital techniques for forming foreign language competences was carried out. The experiment showed the following: absence of statistically important differences in the level of formed foreign language competences in control and experimental groups at the beginning of the experiment as t = -0.99, p = 0.43. At the end of the experiment p < 0,05: t = -5.19, p = 0,000014. It testifies that the compared groups significantly differ that proves the effect of web-quest technique in teaching foreign languages. Digital educational resources contribute to mastering a foreign language as a means of professional communication and increase the motivation of students to study this subject. Prospects for further research can be related to the development of new forms and methods of applying innovative digital technologies with the aim to put them into foreign language teaching practice at the higher education level.
