Particularly after Covid-19 epidemic experienced by the whole world in early 2020, they have started to face greater problems. Therefore, in this study, the aim is to examine the opinions of international university students taking Turkish online lessons about course practices and learning-teaching processes. Qualitative research design was used in this study, and the data were collected through focus group interviews. Participants of the study consist of 18 international university students enrolled in a state university in the academic year of 2020-2021 and receiving Turkish language education at B2 level. While some of the international university students expressed positive opinions regarding the economical and comfortable online education process, some of them expressed negative opinions; namely the lack of communication, the difficulties experienced in online exams and the language learning process and the inefficiency of education. Most of the students stated that the online education process has both positive and negative aspects. As the advantages of this educational process, students pointed out facilitating academic processes easily, managing time, being healthy and saving money. On the other hand, it was highlighted that there are technical, personal, educational, health and language difficulties in the online education process.

The article describes the dominant tendencies of modern language education and substantiates the relevance of the text-centric study of the Ukrainian language. In the system of educational institutions, the emphasis is placed on learning the knowledge of the theory of language and is directed to the practical ability to use them. The teaching of the Ukrainian language is currently considered in the area of the formation of the communicative competence of the linguistic personality, its ability to actively produce and reproductive speech activity in oral and written form, in different situations and spheres of communication. The purpose of the paper is to determine the advantages, value, and significance of the text-centric study of the Ukrainian language to characterize the essence of the methodology of forming the linguistic personality on a textual basis, to develop and experimentally verify the methodical system of development of communicative skills using the technology of the development of critical thinking. Methods of research: theoretical ‒ analysis and synthesis of scientific sources, analysis of current programs, textbooks, manuals; empirical ‒ observation of the educational process; interviews with teachers and students, professors and students, questionnaires; deduction, induction; pedagogical experiment; statistical ‒ quantitative and qualitative analysis of the obtained results. The leading role in the system of training linguistic personality belongs to the communicative and cognitive methodology of teaching the Ukrainian language. Critical thinking as a kind of intellectual activity of a person is characterized by a high level of perception, comprehension, and analysis of the text in order to create his own statement. Text-centric study of the Ukrainian language appears as an integral methodical system that forms the skills of working with information (text) in the process of reproductive and productive speech activity. The application of the technology of critical thinking to the practice of language learning contributes to the formation of communicative competence. Keywords: language personality, cognitive technique, communicative technique, technology of Ukrainian language teaching, text-centric approach, text, discourse, technology of critical thinking.

Coping with technological revolution has become unavoidable in the educational process. In addition to the various advantages of integrating technology into the traditional classroom, utilizing it has been compulsory as an inevitable solution to a global crisis such as the Coronavirus pandemic that we face these days. The present study, using a case study design, aims at exploring self-regulatory strategies that undergraduate university students practice while engaging in virtual classrooms. Participants of the study were 187 university students from all levels. They are all majoring in Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL). Data were collected using mixed method approach in which two tools of measurement were used in the research. An online questionnaire was administered to the participants, then online focus group interviews were conducted. Data gathered were analyzed statistically and findings revealed that non-native TEFL students are high-level self-regulatory learners with no significant effect of university level on students’ self-regulation. In addition, pedagogical recommendations were displayed.

В статье раскрывается организационно-методическое сопровождение построения персонализированных образовательных треков при обучении иностранному языку в контексте цифровизации образования, которое представляет собой пошаговый алгоритм проектирования гибких персонализированных моделей изучения английского языка студентами негуманитарных направлений в электронной образовательной среде. Предлагаемые модели изучения английского языка студентами негуманитарных направлений способствуют реализации активной адаптивности как универсального механизма управления образовательным процессом на основе динамических характеристик облучающегося, с разработанным комплексом вариативных аффективных технологий (повышение уровня мотивации и снижение уровня тревожности) как средства достижения более эффективного процесса обучения. Предложенные в исследовании методические советы могут быть применены при разработке персонализированных адаптивных обучающих систем, программы, методические материалы для преподавателей, инструкции по созданию адаптивных формирующих и диагностических контрольно-измерительных материалов, методические указания для студентов вузов. The article reveals organizational and methodological support for students’ foreign language personalized learning path design in the context of digitalization of education, which is a step-by-step algorithm for designing flexible personalized models for non-language-major students’ foreign language learning in the electronic educational environment. The proposed models of foreign language learning by non-linguistic university students contribute to the implementation of active adaptability as a universal mechanism of educational process management based on the dynamic characteristics of the student, with the developed complex of varied affective technologies (increase of motivation and reduction of anxiety levels) as a means of achieving a more effective learning process. The methodological tips proposed in the study can be applied in the development of personalized adaptive learning systems, programs, methodological materials for teachers, instructions for creating adaptive formative and diagnostic control and measurement materials, methodological guidelines for university students.
