The development of information technology affects all spheres of life, including education. Distance learning is becoming increasingly popular as it allows young people to receive higher education even being away from the university. This form has already gained wide popularity and is used by many educational institutions from different countries. In Ukraine, distance learning is at the stage of formation and active implementation. Higher Educational Institutions (HEIs) develop effective methods and create their own courses. For the most part, such work is carried out on the basis of the Moodle system.In the view of this, the problems associated with the development of theoretical and practical issues in this direction appear to be the most relevant. At the same time, the system of distance education based on the Moodle platform is created on the basis of social constructive pedagogy, which today attracts the attention of many researchers, teachers of HEIs.The purpose of the article is to explore the benefits of using the Moodle system for learning foreign languages.The execution of this goal requires solving the following tasks:– get acquainted with researches of domestic and foreign scientists regarding distance learning;– define the concept of “distance learning”;– define the concept of “Moodle”;– introduce the development of a distance course of a foreign language for the elementary level.Distance learning is interpreted as an organization of an educational process, in which there is a purposeful direct or indirect interaction between a student (a listener) and a teacher, separated in space or in time, carried out on the basis of modern information technologies, primarily through the use of telecommunications and the Internet. The implementation of distance learning forms the basis for a system of continuous education, in which technical means and informational educational technologies enable not only to change the methodology of developing an ever-increasing amount of knowledge, but also to carry out a detailed control of the assessment and self-assessment of the learning process, to enhance the self-education of a person.The involvement of information technology in the educational process is actively considered by the teachers I. Robert, I. Bulakh, Yu. Bykov, L. Petukhov. The works of E. Polat, A. Khutorsky, R. Sharan are devoted to the problems and peculiarities of the introduction of the distance learning form. T. Koval, E. Smirnova-Trybulsk, M. Izdyliany, G. Yatsenko consider using the elements of students’ distance learning. Methodical principles of teaching a foreign language and translation disciplines using information and communication technologies (ICT), means of distance learning are examined by O. Matsyuk, A. Yankovets, L. Morskaya and others.Moodle is a Modular Object-Oriented Dynamic Learning Environment, distributed free of charge as an Open Source project (GNU GPL license) that allows you to copy, use, and modify the code. The Moodle system is designed to organize and manage learning in a networked environment using ICT. It is reliable in operation, easy to use and administrate, provides information security and its transfer from a teacher to a student, makes assessment of students’ achievements, is compatible with standard software.This academic year one distance course of a foreign language for the elementary level has been developed by the department of foreign languages number 704 of the National Aerospace University «Kharkiv Aviation Institute». Each teacher of the department has studied the principles of work in the system of Moodle and created their own element of the distance course for teaching a foreign language for elementary level students of both full-time and part-time study. Further work is aimed at developing distance courses for higher levels of foreign language learning.

The transmission of information is one of the most accessible common phenomena in the modern world. For the convenient dissemination of scientific knowledge, it is enough to use the virtual environment of the Internet. Technologies of the present time make it possible to freely use the computer and the web space for learning at any level, either at a school or university. Open access to learning is essential for today's society, which strives to meet the growing demand for education, regardless of location of educational process. Distance learning technologies make it possible to reach large groups of people in remote areas of the country, people with different forms of disabilities and those who, for whatever reason, are not able to study in person. Teaching foreign languages, in particular Russian as a foreign language, today takes place with the help of modern programs that facilitate classes in direct interaction with the teacher or independently. Therefore, when building a model of teaching Russian as a foreign language using distance technologies, it is very important to create an educational language environment that includes teaching materials, a set of tasks, the organization of student communication not only in asynchronous, but also in synchronous, including voice, modes. The article discusses the use of distance platforms for learning foreign languages, highlights the functions of a teacher in organizing the process of teaching Russian as a foreign language using distance technologies. The article proposed by the author reflects the work of the founders of the theory of distance learning in Russian as a foreign language E.G. Azimova, L.A. Dunaeva, O.I. Rudenko-Morgun, A.N. Bogomolov. The author of the article defines the criteria for the selection of linguodidactic materials using distance technologies and the specifics of the task system. The research carried out within the framework of this article allows us to conclude that distance learning should not and cannot replace traditional education. The use of distance technologies can increase the motivation of students to learn, their responsibility, the level of self-realization, as well as form communication skills and cultural competence.

The present article considers the results of implementing the distance learning technologies at Vinnytsia National Pirogov Memorial Medical University in the process of mastering the discipline "Internal Medicine". Today, the amount of information that is so necessary for obtaining, understanding and mastering knowledge is growing rapidly. Given the current pace of development of education, today it is quite important to find innovative forms of quality organization of the educational process. This led to the introduction of information technology in education and the formation of a separate type of learning - distance learning. Now in Ukraine, distance learning is widely developing at all levels of education, this makes it possible to individualize the process of acquiring knowledge, abilities, skills and methods of human cognitive activity, which occurs mainly through the indirect interaction of participants in the educational process distant from each other in a specialized environment, functioning based on modern information and communication technologies.

<p class="0abstract">The higher education system around the world is being rapidly developed towards digitalization – from computers to laptops, from laptops to tablets and smartphones. Accordingly, traditional delivery of instruction is being shifted towards blended learning that is being gradually replaced with distance learning, i.e. higher education is moving forward with mobile learning (m-learning) technologies. The introduction of mobile learning became the most topical event in 2020 in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, due to which many countries had to completely move to distance learning in higher education. The purpose of the study is to analyze the prospects for the widespread use of mobile applications in teaching English as a foreign language (EFL) in Russia to Russian and Arab learners. In the course of the study, an online survey based on a questionnaire consisting of four open and closed questions was conducted. An empirical method was applied to collect the research data.  The survey was conducted at the Department of Foreign Languages of the Engineering Academy of the Peoples' Friendship University of Russia (EA PFUR). The total research sample included 200 participants and consisted of: 50 potential employers, 50 Russian and Arab students of the Peoples' Friendship University of Russia studying Linguistics (training program code 035700), 50 faculty members, namely teachers of the Peoples' Friendship University of Russia, the Institute of Foreign Languages of the Moscow State Pedagogical University and the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology, as well as 50 administrative staff of the Peoples' Friendship University of Russia. The purpose of the survey was to collect information about the use of mobile applications (Smartphone Apps) and the introduction of mobile learning technology (m-learning) in the process of teaching EFL to students. According to the results of the survey, instructors are actively using mobile technologies in their professional activities and all participants in the learning process are receptive to their introduction in education. At the same time, respondents believe that technical challenges are the major obstacle to the adoption of mobile applications; these problems must be overcome in order to enable more productive use of mobile applications. In this regard, the study of mobile applications that are suitable for specific aspects of learning a foreign language, such as spoken language, reading comprehension, listening or writing, can be considered a promising research area.</p>
