This chapter investigates students' comprehension of the alphabet and its accompanying vocabulary, using an ICT-oriented teaching approach that is based upon Van Hiele's levels of geometric thought. The participating sample consisted of Greek students attending the second grade of primary school in Crete. The sample was divided into two groups, which were distributed among an experimental and a control group. The control group was taught following the traditional instruction, according to the pedagogical principles of Curriculum for the second grade of primary school. The experimental group was taught through an ICT-oriented intervention based upon Van Hiele's levels. The results of the research will assist greatly in achieving a more thorough understanding of the instruction of English as a Foreign Language (EFL) and possible implementation of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT), to maximize its effectiveness.

The paper presents a current problem of training the future primary school teachers – their ability to interact with parents. The study argues that the most effective training for future specialists is reached by the use of modern interactive forms of work and information and communication technologies (ICT) during lectures, seminars and workshops. During the complex study of this problem, an in-depth analysis of the works by domestic and foreign scholars was carried out. The represented student survey helped to evaluate the scope of knowledge about the issue and corroborated its relevance and objectives. The presented results of the survey of students of the IV course of the specialty «Primary education» at the Pedagogical Institute of the Borys Grinchenko Kyiv University provided an idea of the scope and depth of knowledge on the identified problem. During the research we outlined some necessary components promoting readiness for teacher – parent interaction, among them cognitive, emotional, psychological, praxeological components and rhetorical skills. The results of the developed training system with the use of various interactive forms of work and ICT tools are presented and its efficiency tested and proved. The pedagogical study was carried out in three stages – the recording, forming and control experiment. The effectiveness of the developed system is reflected in the comparative table, according to the data of the questionnaire of the control group in the control phase of the study. The presented data testify to the necessity of additional measures aimed at increasing the readiness of future teachers of elementary school for pedagogical interaction with parents through means of information and communication technologies. The results of the study demonstrate the need to increase the rhetorical skills and the praxis component of the readiness of future primary school teachers to work with their parents. To achieve this goal it is expedient to introduce the proposed system of work with students in the educational process of institutions of higher education.

The modernization of higher education is mandatory condition for the current stage of Russian society development and the ensuring of the Russian economy competitiveness. One of the priority issues of modernization is the strengthening of the significance of self-students studying. This is due primarily to the considerable reduction in the number of classroom sessions and the increase in hours provided for self-students studying. Self-studying becomes the basis for the professional development of a bachelor, encourage his cognitive interests, promotes the essential objectives of the training, that is, the formation of communicative and professional competences. The nature of the relationship between the teacher and the bachelor alters within the framework of competence-oriented education. The teacher, released from the mere transfer of knowledge, gets freedom in choosing forms of interaction or rather in choosing the methods used in such field of studying as “Foreign Language”. Classical teaching methods are replaced with new ones. The emergence of information and communication technologies led to their rapid introduction into the educational process. The organization of self-students studying through the use of information and communication technologies is of great interest to many educational specialists. The specific nature of information and communication technologies lies in the creation in the educational process of various kinds of relations and conditions of real life, requiring from bachelors not only the knowledge of work-related material, but also their familiarization with a given image, a holistic immersion in the professional environment. The use of simulation technology facilitates the formation of cognitive-search activity of bachelors, causes incentive for learning a foreign language.

The article explores the features of modern information and communication technologies implementation in teaching technical English. The specifics of teaching foreign languages for applicants for non-linguistic specialties has its own characteristics, which should be taken into account when constructing and conducting classes. The information society poses new challenges and correspondingly new goals for teachers and applicants to higher education, the achievement of which is ensured by analyzing situational data and creating the environment that would most closely reflect the realities of the modern professional environment, which requires an appropriate level of a foreign language knowledge. It was determined that electronic learning tools act as a catalyst in mastering the material and improve the quality of the educational process. The study analyzed psychological factors that provide an extremely high level of student motivation and form the corresponding priorities in the direction of professional growth. The pedagogical ways of introducing multimedia teaching aids while studying a foreign language are described in detail as a key condition for the fundamental training of a qualified specialist, focused on meeting the needs of the modern market. It is noted that higher education institutions do not yet fully possess educational computer programs and the latest software, which is one of the most pressing problems in the digitalization of the educational process. It is proved that the effectiveness of achieving didactic goals directly depends on the chosen forms and methods of training, and the inclusion of information and communication technologies has such advantages as individualization and intensification of the educational process, an increase in the amount of independent work of the applicant, which is an important component of the Bologna process. In this regard, and with the aim of developing the communication skills of future specialists, ICTs are considered to be the primary element in the training of qualified specialists in economic fields.
