The article identifies the main learning technologies used to teach students in higher medical education. Learning technologies have been found to help improve the learning process and improve learning outcomes. The main learning technologies used in working with students of higher medical educational institutions are analyzed. It is investigated that learning technologies influence the teaching of foreign languages. It was found that the use of research, simulation, information, problem-based learning and heuristic are common and used in foreign language teaching. It is concluded that for the effective use of technology it is important to pay attention to what technology may be suitable for each individual student group. The use of modern teaching aids is part of information and communication technology. It is this technology that reveals the full range of ICT applications. Search technologies allow to actively involve students in research activities due to motivation to learn a foreign language and search for new resources and sources of information. Heuristic technology is one of the most used today, it allows to involve all students in active interaction in the classroom, to make associations between clinical disciplines and English and to be as ready as possible for interactive tasks. Simulation and dialogue technologies give students the opportunity to feel like real doctors, gain experience in communication in different situations and develop their communication skills. In the future, we plan to explore learning strategies that should be used in foreign language classes.

Distance Learning is an online-based program that gives students additional practice outside the classroom and helps decrease the amount of time it takes inside the classroom to study for the HSE test or to improve English language skills. МЕТОДИКА ВИКЛАДАННЯ У ВИЩІЙ ШКОЛ І 146 Випуск І (81), 2021 Distance education, as a form of education that enables and promotes development of autonomous life-long learning skill, necessary to keep up with rapid changes and development in today’s society, is a concept definitely worth considering. Teaching a foreign language in a distance education system is very challenging, primarily in terms of overcoming the main gap – lack of direct contact between teachers and learners. This paper focuses on the aspect of teaching materials used for ESL in a distance learning system. To ensure the implementation of basic educational programs with high efficiency, the implementation of appropriate reforms in distance and innovative learning, which meet all modern requirements, is a very important process in the development of education. The development of distance learning courses will be useful to ensure equal access to educational opportunities for all students, especially for workers, or for those who study in parallel in other universities in Ukraine or abroad. Private educational organizations and government agencies around the world support the use and development of distance learning by accumulating pedagogical and methodological experience for further development. Distance learning technologies represent many new opportunities for teaching foreign languages, which allow further expanding the range of teaching methods, just as language laboratories, television and computers have increased the standard classroom. It is important to review these distance-learning options to distinguish their ability levels, as these systems have different limitations on the learning process. For example, one-way systems that use only presentations have been criticized for not providing anything other than a video distribution system that could be reproduced by sending 10 videos to students. The lack of direct bilateral interaction, which characterizes many distance education programs, is contrary to the goals of foreign language teaching. However, using this interaction, distance technologies can maintain the integrity of foreign language teaching. Learning strategies that encourage student-teacher dialogue and student autonomy in distance learning situations should be included in learning.

Modern theories of foreign language teaching are getting developed. The constant society digitalization influences it. Generation Z students closely associate their lives with technology. Moreover, teachers must find ways to apply effectively information and communication technologies in the learning process. In our opinion, one of the ways is the concept of blended learning. It implies the optimal combination of traditional pedagogical technologies and distance, online learning. The purpose of our research is to examine the effectiveness of the concept of blended learning in the process of learning a foreign language for students of non-philological majors. For this purpose, we conducted a pedagogical experiment. It assumes the introduction of the concept of blended learning in the educational process of higher education. The research was carried out with Ukrainian students of non-philological majors during the study of English (offline and online). Also, international students who are studying Ukrainian as a foreign language were involved. Comparative analysis of students' readiness to learn using different blended learning tools was used. Methods of mathematical statistics (nonparametric Kruskal-Wallis and Mann-Whitney criteria) were utilized to analyse and process the experimental data. The results of the study indicate the effectiveness of blended learning technology usage in the process of foreign language teaching. Nevertheless, they show that the proposed tools help students better master a foreign language. Besides, students are both in active learning and passively reinforcing their knowledge using digital technologies during education. The authors consider it indisputable that blended learning tools should be used to some extent for students of all majors. The authors understand that the proposed tools are not exhaustive and definitive. Their list should be extended, and the use of specific tools depends on the teacher, students, the course, and other factors.

Among public policy priorities on the development of higher education in the context of European integration of Ukraine the problem of constant educational quality improvement, modernization of educational process, introduction of educational innovations and information technologies are identified. An application of innovative methods of English teaching becomes relevant and is of great practical importance, especially in the context of Ukraine’s competitive presence in the international educational arena. With the reformation of foreign language teaching in higher educational institutions, lecturers create new opportunities for the implementation of didactic principles of individualization and differentiation of learning. The introduction of Blended learning technologies in Ukrainian universities is a new pedagogical approach that involves a combination of active use of streamlined on-line training and traditional classroom communication. The article covers examples of blended learning implementation in models of foreign language teaching at higher educational institutions. A use of blended learning model that combines elements of traditional and distance learning in different proportions is proposed. Different models of blended learning presented by foreign researchers are considered and generalized, models that can be integrated into the traditional educational process at higher educational institutions are proposed. The advantages and disadvantages of the blended learning system are analyzed and systematized.

Adapting foreign language teaching to the requirements of studentswith special educational needs requires prior diagnosis of the developmentalpotential of the pupils concerned. Because of the educationaland rehabilitative character of foreign language learning in studentswith language and speech deficiencies, the diagnosis addresses thepossibilities of using foreign language learning in developing generaland linguistic competencies in both languages (native and foreign). Thearticle presents the aims of diagnosing linguistic communicative competenciesin the context of foreign language teaching. The differencesbetween speech diagnosis and diagnosis performed for the needs of foreignlanguage teaching are discussed, based on cases of pupils with deficienciesin their native language (Polish). The evaluation of the students’competencies involved reformulation as an instrument of linguistic diagnosis;learning strategies were also considered in the assessment.
