Learning And Collaboration

In this paper, methodological and organizational aspects of applying CLIL methodology in teaching computer science for students of universities are analyzed. It is shown that European countries, as well as the United Kingdom, the United States of America, and Canada, where part of the curriculum has been taught in a foreign language for several decades, are most actively introducing content and language integration and promoting an interdisciplinary approach to education. CLIL methodology features and benefits are identified, namely, a comprehensive focus, stimulating learning environment, authenticity, active learning, gradual learning and collaboration. The peculiarity of CLIL methodology is that its use requires a stable elementary skill in the grammar of a foreign language, as well as knowledge of subject-specific language. In accordance with various conditions, CLIL model can be presented in various forms: it can be a full course of a foreign language discipline, a module from a specific topic area, a part of any course, a project, a laboratory workshop, and a research, too. The paper presents a plan for computer science lectures and labs in a foreign language, which contains seven stages, each of which is performed in English. Integration of computer science and teaching in English at the Kremenchuk Mykhailo Ostrohradskyi National University is implemented using developed bilingual course program “Computer for beginners”. The course content includes a study of the material necessary for obtaining skills in using modern ICT and a personal computer using English glossary. Conclusions are drawn regarding conditions and principles of teaching computer science in a foreign language. The scientific novelty of the work is that for the first time a comprehensive analysis of the expediency of using CLIL methodology was carried out at the Kremenchuk Mykhailo Ostrohradskyi National University. The practical significance of the work is that its results can be used for further implementation of content and language integration in Ukraine universities. The development of new content and language integrated courses with CLIL methodology for teaching courses in a foreign language is considered promising.

The paper presents some elements of the author's media didactic support of future primary school teachers’ foreign language training in the content of foreign language disciplines, which testify to the diversity of future primary school teachers’ foreign language training with didactic tools, methods and forms of foreign language teaching. Applying theoretical research methods (analysis, comparison, generalization, systematization, synthesis and specification), emphasis is placed on aspects of media didactics development in the process of future primary school teachers’ foreign language training, which allows integration of future school teachers’ foreign language communicative competence and their media literacy. It is established that alongside with traditional methods of foreign language teaching (conversation, explanation, demonstration, etc.) innovative ones are being actively used (the usage of computer programs, the usage of mobile applications, creative tasks, webquest, filming, audio recording, analysis of problem situations and others). Media tools (digital images and photos, collages, comics, screenshots, websites, blogs, infographics, clusters, audio recordings, podcasts, cartoons, audiobooks, online dictionaries, social networks, mobile applications for others) expand the didactic tools of foreign language teaching.
