USING INSTAGRAM IN THE PROCESS OF LEARNING ENGLISH LANGUAGE
Currently, social networks are increasingly attracting the sphere of education. The options for using Instagram in teaching are versatile and often depend on the imagination and creativity of the teacher. In this article, the authors consider the theoretical foundations of using the Instagram social network in teaching English. Special attention is paid to the definition of Instagram, the description of its capabilities in the educational environment. Students were experimentally tested to identify the effectiveness of using the Instagram service. Based on this study, the authors concluded that the joint use of traditional teaching methods with the Instagram Internet resource led to a stronger fixation of the material than using only traditional methods.
