This study was conducted out of the researcher’s teaching reflection while teaching English as a foreign language (EFL) online class during the pandemic of COVID-19, a time when face-to-face courses had to be converted to online classes. Her choice of educational tool for her EFL e-learning environment utilized a Facebook closed group. Her experiences in utilizing a Facebook closed group for her EFL e-learning environment and the students’ views were the main topics of this study. Eighteen EFL freshmen participants were selected in this study. The researcher used data from a questionnaire with some closed and open-ended questions. The findings indicated that the students found the Facebook closed group a comfortable, practical, and useful e-learning environment. The students’ familiarity with the interface helped them to immediately focus on the class activities instead of learning how to use the tool. Most students viewed the Facebook closed group as positive for class interactions, creative work, opinions, and express feelings. A few dislike voices were related to the display quality of Facebook, the asynchronous and silent communication on Facebook. Accordingly, utilizing a Facebook closed group might be worth considering for learners who have not been adequately prepared with the technology for joining an online class.

The problem of technological universities lagging behind the level of development of the IT-industry can be solved only on condition that technological IT companies actively participate in training of future IT-professionals. Only cooperation between IT-companies and IT-faculties can provide effective training of future IT-professionals. Universities require access to new technologies in order to support students and teachers of STEM-faculties, so that they would keep up with the level of technology development. The article analyzes the trends of cooperation between universities and IT companies. For example, the integration of Microsoft resources and services into the University e-learning environment identified the impact of using appropriate resources for the development of professional skills and “soft skills”. The present article suggests a model of integrating Microsoft resources and services into the e-learning environment.

Введение. Анализируется опыт внедрения дистанционных технологий на занятиях по английскому языку в вузе в условиях вынужденного перехода на удаленный формат работы. Цель – обобщение результатов анкетирования, направленного на выявление отношения студенческого и преподавательского сообществ к переводу образовательного процесса в электронный формат. Материал и методы. Материалом исследования послужили результаты анкетирования, проведенного в первые недели дистанционного обучения английскому языку и по окончании весеннего семестра 2019/20 учебного года. Для решения поставленных задач применялись следующие методы: анализ учебно-методической литературы по вопросам внедрения технологий в образовательный процесс по иностранному языку, анкетирование профессорско-преподавательского состава и студенческого контингента. Результаты и обсуждение. Впервые собраны и обобщены данные опроса об опыте использования электронной среды взамен аудиторной работы при проведении занятий по английскому языку в вузе. Рассматриваются достоинства и недостатки дистанционного обучения иностранным языкам в вузе; выявляется степень удовлетворенности участников образовательного процесса качеством преподавания иностранного языка в новом формате; описываются аспекты и особенности обучения английскому языку в онлайн-среде. Установлено, что основные сложности, с которыми столкнулись преподаватели и студенты на онлайн-занятиях, сопряжены с отсутствием живого общения, при котором задействованы как вербальные, так и невербальные каналы получения информации. В качестве несомненного преимущества удаленного способа работы перед аудиторным выступает организационно-бытовой аспект проведения занятий, что проявляется, прежде всего, в экономии временных затрат. Заключение. Проведение занятий по английскому языку в удаленном формате видится как высококачественная альтернатива традиционным занятиям в тех случаях, когда невозможна организация очной формы обучения в силу различных обстоятельств (пандемия, погодные условия и т. д.). Это обусловлено практической направленностью дисциплины «иностранный язык», при которой особую значимость приобретает живое общение, коммуникация «лицом к лицу». Introduction. The article provides the survey of distance technologies implementation experience in response to forced transition to e-learning environment at the university classes of the English language. The objective of the work is to consolidate and summarize the findings of the questionnaire aimed at identifying students and teachers’ attitude towards the educational process transition to electronic format. Material and methods. Research statistics was taken from the questionnaire conducted in the first couple of weeks of online English classes and at the end of 2019–2020 academic year spring term. In order to solve the task the authors applied the following methods: the analysis of methodological literature on technologies introduction into educational process at English language classes, questionnaire given to university students and teachers. Results and discussion. The paper combines and generalizes the replies to the questionnaire about the very first experience of using e-learning environment fully instead of in-class activities for the English language classes at the university. Advantages and drawbacks of a distance education are mentioned as well as the level of educational process participants’ satisfaction with the language teaching quality within a new format. There are also some special aspects of teaching English online shown. It was defined that during these classes students and teachers had faced the major challenge – the lack of a real-life communication with verbal and nonverbal channels of information exchange. One of the undeniable benefits of a distance education when compared to classroom sessions is organizational aspect, especially time saving. Conclusion. Remote format of the English language classes is considered as a high quality alternative to in-class learning in situations when classroom settings are impossible to be organized due to different circumstances (pandemics, weather conditions, etc.). Practical focus of a “Foreign language” as a subject determines the significance of a real-life face-to-face communication during the classes.

The paper presents the results of a students’ survey carried out at “Vasile Alecsandri” University of Bacau, Romania, on the quality of educational process on online platforms in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. The study was addressed to students from the Faculty of Engineering and the Faculty of Physical Education and Sports. The results of survey highlighted that most of students were satisfied with the measures taken by the university during the lockdown period and the way the teaching—learning-assessment process took place. However, some negative aspects were reported as: lack of an adequate infrastructure for some students, less effective teacher-student communication and interaction, impossibility of performing practical applications, lack of socialization, lack of learning motivation, less objective examination (e.g., possibility of cheating), possibility of physical and mental health degradation (e.g., too much time spent in front of screens, installation of a sedentary lifestyle). Consequently, for the new academic year, effective, and efficient measures must be implemented by the management of the university to remove, as much as possible, these negative issues and to improve the performance of online educational process.
