The article deals with the issue of the effectiveness of using dictogloss as a way of enhancing communicative speech activity, critical thinking and creative potential of students of non-language higher educational institutions in ESP classes. The key stages of the traditional dictogloss are considered: 1) preparation; 2) dictation; 3) reproduction; 4) analysis and reflection, comparing texts created by subgroups with the original or with texts of other subgroups. The main principles (such as the principle of cooperation training and the use of interactive technologies, the principle of the curriculum and the educational process connection, the principle of diversification, the principle of the development of mental, mnemic and perceptual processes, the principle of emotionality, the principle of systematicity and consistency) aimed at ensuring the outcomes and effectiveness of innovation dictations and the ways of their implementation are outlined. The main modified versions of the dictogloss are analyzed and recommendations for their preparation in ESP classes are provided: dictogloss-negotiations, «student-control» dictogloss, student-student mode, «Summary» dictogloss, «Express your own opinion», «Reodering dictogloss», «Add details», «Picture» dictogloss. Dictogloss is determined to be an effective activity for teaching ESP, since it can be applied to different levels of foreign language proficiency and adapted for any specialism. The advantages of the dictogloss are emphasized: it can be used to represent a new topic, to revise and practice vocabulary or grammar material; it does not require more time for preparation than other types of activity; the teacher can change the forms of dictations, adding a competitive element or element of the gamification; it can become a source of motivation for learning a foreign language and a way of diversifying pedagogical techniques and technologies.

Today experience marketing is attracting greater attention of researchers and practitioners, considering it an innovative approach to be used by companies and brands for development and retainment of their competitive advantage. This experience can develop online or as a result of offline activities. It is widely thought that many marketing instruments can be used in experiential marketing as long as they guarantee high engagement of consumers. The main instruments for sales promotion include mobile content and exclusive online content. Under the following topic, these can be special groups in social networks, mobile applications, websites of higher educational institutions etc. Unfortunately, there is a lack of research on consumer experience and its management in higher education, especially about education obtained abroad, as well as the usage of experiential marketing for attracting foreign students to Latvian higher educational institutions. These factors explain the importance and rationale of the chosen topic. The aim of the research is to evaluate the contents, availability and usage of foreign students’ interactive communication websites for attracting foreign students in Latvia in experiential marketing context. Method of research: content analysis of foreign students’ groups in social networks, websites and social network profiles of higher education institutions. In general, it can be concluded that the number of interactive online groups for foreign students in Latvia was insignificant, mainly the groups were inactive, the members of these groups provided negative comments or reacted openly to different publications. However, it is important to admit that personal publications received more “likes” and comments indicating the necessity of building a personal dialogue with students on websites.

The introduction of innovative technologies into the educational process has become an integral part of modern educational systems development. Information-communication technologies varies the teaching-learning process by making it more entertaining for the students and more beneficial for the teachers as it allows using more resources and a wider range of exercises to form and develop students’ skills. In this regard the article analyzes the advantages of the use of Google educational tools for the formation of students’ learner autonomy, responsibility and promotion of pedagogical interaction. It is hypothesized that future foreign language teachers’ and managers’ learning autonomy and responsibility along with learning outcomes can be enhanced by implementing ICT into educational process. The article reviews the notion of information and communication environment of higher educational institutions, analyzes the ways to introduce Google educational tools namely Google Forms and Google Classroom into the daily learning routines of university students. It also provides evidence-based instructional practices along with illustrative examples of its use when introducing new material, giving assignments, initiating reflection, conducting tests and setting deadlines. The questionnaire surveys conducted at higher educational institutions reveal that students exhibit higher levels of responsibility and motivation and display better academic achievements when being educated with the help of Google educational tools. The prospects of further investigation may include substantiation of the organizational and pedagogical conditions of the future foreign language teachers and managers training in the conditions of the information-educational environment of higher educational institutions.
