This paper considers the problem of blended learning as a means of foreign students’ integration into higher school environment. This process is not that simple, it demands special methods to help foreign students to be integrated easily. The use of blended learning in education facilitates easy students’ integration and leads to positive learning results. However, the application of blended learning is connected with challenges both educators and foreign students can face. The aim of the article is to consider and assess the use of blended learning at the lessons of English implemented into a university educational process. For that purpose, we applied such methods as a needs analysis (among lecturers of English from South Ural State University), a questionnaire and an interview (among three groups of students from similar bachelor’s programs). The findings show that the majority of those surveyed do understand the importance of blended learning as a means of foreign students’ integration, but they are not familiar with the types and how to use them. Based on the results of this analysis, the authors applied blended learning into the process of English teaching, such as flipped classroom, station rotation, and a new online language development course, “Methodological support to the textbook by McCarthy, M. “Touchstone”. The drawn conclusions indicate that blended learning allows not only to boost foreign language skills, but to promote easy foreign students’ integration into the educational process of the university.

We substantiate the need to use modern educational technology of blended learning “flipped class” in university education, introduce new principles of building the educational process in higher education, search for new organizational forms of education, interactive methods and technologies of teaching a foreign language. The solution to the research problem is based on theoretical, methodological and practical issues that are considered in the study. We focus on the fact that teaching a foreign language is based on the methodic potential of competence-based and personality-oriented approaches. We note the role of a foreign language teacher, who is a facilitator and consultant, who ensures successful communication of students in the process of performing interdisciplinary or metadisciplinary research projects that contribute to the development of metadisciplinary and communication skills. The obtained results of the pedagogical experiment suggest that the use of the “flipped classroom” blended learning technology increase the level of internal motivation of students to learn a foreign language. This technology allows to individualize and activate the educational process.

Training of highly qualified specialists is a significant factor for the consistent progress in any branch of economics. Kemerovo State University provides training of specialists for the coal mining region in Russia. Nowadays, the University tends to increase the proportion of foreign students as well. Most of these are students from neighboring countries, such as Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, where raw materials industries, including mining, are developed. Taking into account the multi-ethnic diversity of students at Kemerovo State University, we analyzed the experience and determined the worthwhile forms of organizing independent activity in EFL teaching. Among the forms of independent activity, we introduced independent reading, preparing thematic presentations, written tasks based on video content, and writing thematic essays. Organizing independent work in the educational process, which involves a large number of multinational groups of students, we took into account the following conditions. We considered such particular qualities of contemporary students as their general need in flexible learning environment as well as in self-expression; we took into account their interest in new knowledge and motivation for self- improvement, and at the same time, lack of desire for completing reproductive types of tasks, along with fragmented thinking.

Learning Platform

The article explores the concept of blended learning in foreign language teaching as a new pedagogical formula that combines distance learning through digital media with classroom learning, which provides for a "co-presence" of students and teachers, and transforms learning. The use of this type of learning solves several important tasks: 1) transition to a student-centered approach built on greater self-organization of students, formation of their ability to active, productive learning; 2) defining the important role of the teacher as a co-organizer of the educational process who is able to encourage dialogue, communication in the classroom and in self-study; 3) redistribution of the workload of teachers according to the new requirements: more time to prepare for the education process and research, contributing to their commitment to professional self-development. To elaborate a blended model of foreign language teaching for Ukrainian students, the experience of face-to-face teaching and online foreign language teaching at Oles Honchar University and the models of blended learning proposed by the Clayton Christensen Institute were analyzed, and one blended learning model known as the «lab rotation model» was proposed as the most suitable. It provides for classroom work offline as synchronous learning, and individual work online (on the learning platform) as asynchronous leaning, as well as the integration of individual learning and face-to-face learning in group formats, which will provide adaptive, more individualized training of students. It is proposed to supplement this model with elements of the «flipped classroom» model when students receive basic learning material and instructions online, and work in a more interactive form in the classroom.

Theoretical Issues

The article is devoted to the opportunities of blended learning, which is used in teaching foreign languages to students of non-linguistic specialties at Baikal State University. Since recently, the education system has been undergoing significant changes in terms of educational process organization. This is primarily due to global digitalization processes, as well as the forced move to blended or mixed forms of work during the pandemic. The authors of the article suggest using the term blended learning, since such terms as full-time learning, part-time learning do not reflect the whole essence of work in teaching a foreign language. The relevance of using a blended learning is determined by the taught discipline itself - a foreign language, since it is impossible to form the necessary skills and competencies only within the framework of classroom hours. A foreign language instructor has always used a mixed type of work, which has grown into a modified form today. The article analyzes some theoretical issues and provides an overview of blended learning practice. It is also describes the advantages of using this form in the educational process in general and in teaching foreign languages, in particular. In conclusion, the authors point out the necessity of using this form of work in teaching foreign languages.

Aim and objectives. The aim of the article is to review and analyze the features and key characteristics of “blended learning” technology, to study the models for its implementation in the educational process, as well as to describe the experience of using blended learning in the process of teaching Foreign Language. Material and methods. The methods of theoretical analysis were used: the study and analysis of psychological, pedagogical and scientific-methodical literature and the Internet resources on the problem of research, the study of foreign experience in the use of blended learning in the educational process, as well as the reflection of the educational activities of the author of this article. Results and discussion. The models and approaches of introducing blended learning into the educational process are described. Key characteristics of blended learning are highlighted: individualization of the educational process, productive independent work, the rational use of class time, the active use of modern information and communication technologies, etc. The characteristics of the interaction of subjects (teacher, students, and electronic educational resources) and the roles they implement in the blended learning model are given. Electronic resources for the introduction of blended learning in educational practice (learning management systems, massive open online courses, Google for Education cloud services) are considered. The experience of using blended learning technology in the teaching of the discipline “Foreign Language” is described. The educational process was built in accordance with the Flipped Classroom technology, which is implemented in the form of a three-stage educational model - independent pre-class work (watching video lectures in order to familiarize yourself with the educational information before the lesson, completing tasks to verify understanding of the material watched), class work (active / creative types of educational activity) and post-graduate work (independent generalization of the studied educational material). Conclusion. It is concluded that the use of the blended learning model results in an increase in the quality of students’ knowledge and the development of their ability to learn independently.
