Educational Potential

Problem and goal. The development of new media, new modern IT technologies is also aimed at promoting legal content. New formats of the media sphere create new opportunities for dialogue on legal culture. The aim of the article is to study the educational potential of podcasting in the context of the formation of the human legal culture. Materials and research methods. Methodological approaches: cultural-historical approach for revealing personality as a product of cultural development, contextual approach for understanding the role of public opinion in personality development, competence-based approach for identifying the educational process in podcasts and selecting content for the construct “legal culture”, personality-oriented approach for understanding self-developing and self-regulating personality in the process of forming a legal culture. An empirical study was carried out using the GetPodcast application on search queries for podcasts by words or phrases correlated with the theoretical construct “legal culture” in Russian and English, the time period for placing a podcast in the application was measured; the research is based on measuring, systematizing, comparing, summarizing, monitoring, interpreting the results of researching the audio content of podcasts. Research results. In 2020, on average, more than 2.5 million episodes on legal culture in English and more than 17.5 thousand in Russian were created in the media sphere. The authors calculated that the number of podcasts by one key concept in English is on average 234 times higher than the number of podcasts in Russian, which indicates the active spread of the new format of the media sphere throughout the world, while the demand for English-language podcasts is objectively higher. The growth rate of the number of podcasts in 2020 averages 66% and 58% for Russian-speaking and English-speaking podcasts, respectively, while the growth over the past six months is higher: 97% and 72%, respectively. This can be explained by the pandemic situation and forced self-isolation, as well as digital globalization and digital competencies of the population. Discussion and conclusion. The authors came to the conclusion that podcasts, as a new format of the media sphere, have educational potential, which must be used to a greater extent for the formation of the human legal culture. At the same time, the educational potential reveals the cognitive and epistemological interest of the listener. Podcasts form socially significant and personally necessary knowledge of a legal nature and meaning, which to a greater extent affects the condition and result of the process of forming human legal culture.

This study focuses on the notion of power as a way of conceptualisation, representation and functioning in the Russian and English-speaking media discourse and its role in the life of the younger generation of the third millennium. Power and its language have always remained an actual research question of interdisciplinary scientific analysis. However, studying young people’s linguistic and paralinguistic perception of power in the era of digitalisation becomes extremely important due to an empowering role young adults have started playing in modern society employing new media and their discursive communication there. The study regards the theoretical background of the phenomenon of power, based on A. Gramsci’s hegemonic approach. The authors of the research suggest that the media discourse is a hegemonic form of power that maintains its position through the elaboration of a particular worldview, which makes a significant impact on young individuals, the so-called net-generation. The study relies on free-associative and graphic experiments to analyse and perceive “power” concept and its influence on young individuals’ consciousness. Results indicate that both Russian and English-speaking media discourse represents “power” through the prism of anthroponyms as well as toponyms. Besides, the findings of the free-associative experiment, conducted among young adults, demonstrated the dominance of the lexical units belonging to the same grammatical class of words as the stimulus word “power”. Furthermore, a graphic experiment revealed young people’s emotional evaluations of power in media discourse communication. As such, the results suggest that “power” is a natural, complex and multifaceted linguacultural and social phenomenon realised through a variety of linguistic and paralinguistic means, and it produces a dualistic effect on young people’s consciousness through their interaction in the media discourse space.

It was also noted that the question of the importance of the development of emotional intelligence in the study of language was interesting not only for psychologists, but also for educators. A large number of scientists from various fields both in Ukraine and abroad research this problem. Knowledge and emotional-value components of the educational process in English can be realized through properly selected material, forms of work, kinds and types of exercises.The article presents forms, methods and means of organizing the educational process at different levels of learning that affect the development of the emotional component, contribute to the effectiveness of the English language learning process and the creation of a positive emotional atmosphere in the classroom. It is concluded that emotional intelligence is an important component of personality development that can be developed and improved throughout the study period.Emotional intelligence cannot be viewed without child's cognitive activity.

Educational Potential

The tense epidemiological situation caused by the extremely rapid spread of COVID-19 has accelerated the transition of educational institutions to distance learning, which, in turn, has entailed colossal changes in the choice of teaching tools and made pedagogical innovations an in-tegral part of the educational process. However, the importance of online communities in learning was noted even before the transition to distance learning, since many teachers used social net-works as an effective channel of communication with their students. In addition to communication, social platforms can be used to achieve other goals, including solving educational problems. Despite the fact that social platforms were initially created for group communication and creativity and were not associated with education, every year they are becoming an increasingly common means of exchanging information and organizing the educational process. Social platforms may help managing a wide variety of educational tasks and solve the problem of organizing a productive learning process. The study considers the role of videos in foreign language teaching and the educational potential of short videos from TikTok, their advantages and possibility of integration into the educational process in order to increase the efficiency and quality of education, and the role of the teacher in organization of such activities.

AT&T's Bell Laboratories produced a prolific number of innovative digital art and experimental color systems between 1965 and 1984. However, due to repressive regulation, this work was hidden from the public. Almost two decades later, when Bell lifted its restrictions on creative work not related to telephone technologies, the atmosphere had changed so dramatically that despite a relaxation of regulation, cutting-edge projects were abandoned. This paper discusses the struggles encountered in interdisciplinary collaborations and the challenge to use new media computing technology to make experimental art at Bell Labs during this unique time period, now largely lost to the history of the media arts.

This article studies how traditional media functions have changed due the new media growth in terms of consumption and influence and how this has affected the public relations (PR) campaigns in terms of storytelling and managing content. The starting point of this article is the media coverage of the Paris attacks on the 13th November, as well as the institutional ceremonies that the French government organized as a tribute to 120 victims. The methodology of this article is based in a sample of the mainstream media in French and English language published in Europe. The analysis indicators are the following: (a) the “message,” as the story based on organizational essentials, values and identity; (b) the publics in a media relations campaign: opinion leaders and opinion makers; (c) the social dimension and the agenda setting; (d) effectiveness versus excellence and vice versa; (e) role of the media: traditional media (or mainstream media) and new media; (f) trends and challenges for professionals. As we will see, new trends of communication are redirecting the media strategy in PR campaigns in terms of influencing other key publics that generates major engagement in institutional reputation. Hence, traditional media functions (setting agenda, transmitting values, and creating opinion) operate in a new digital context of mashup journalism where cross-cultural PR seeks to better align media agenda’s with public and political agenda’s in order to set frames of sociability and community engagement.

The acquisition of competencies (knowledge and skills) necessary for a modern professional is impossible according to known models in the context of the formation of a new humanistic paradigm of higher education. The purpose of the study is to highlight the problems of introducing academic writing as an element of academic integrity and as a basic component of academic culture in a modern university, as well as to propose a model for the development of linguistic and extra-linguistic competences while working on the writing of scientific texts in English on the basis of the textbook “Introduction to academic writing” as a way of solving the above-mentioned problems. The article contains an analysis of the scientific fund for updating the methods and forms of organizing the educational process, which involves the acquisition of certain linguistic and extra-linguistic competences by the applicants for higher education. The prerequisites and possibilities for the development of such competences derive from the orientation of education towards the full development of the personality of the future specialist and the support of the principles of academic integrity, paying attention to the mastery of high-quality academic writing skills. It has been established in the study that academic writing is an element of academic culture and is a system in which language is a means of forming a multidimensional set of skills, including both linguistic (syntax, stylistic, etc.) and extralinguistic competences such as logic, objectivity, analysis and synthesis, respect for the ideas and texts of others. The study also identified the essence of the need to observe ethical standards in the institution of higher education and to learn how to formulate and prove one’s own hypotheses and conclusions, to structure the academic text according to the norms of the English language. The essence of the concepts of academic integrity, and academic writing as well as the concepts of linguistic and extra-linguistic competences is also defined. The study provided is supplemented by a structured teaching manual which was developed taking into account the experience of authors of foreign linguistic literature, where among the skills and abilities required by the English-speaking academic environment, the competence to effectively use the various methods of writing essays, describing graphic information, writing scientific article and thesis is indicated. It is noted in the article that the mentioned skills and abilities are within the most challenging area for applicants and require an approach to learning in which written competence is a key one and the overall learning process is based on the active use of written speech.
