Readiness To Learn

Modern theories of foreign language teaching are getting developed. The constant society digitalization influences it. Generation Z students closely associate their lives with technology. Moreover, teachers must find ways to apply effectively information and communication technologies in the learning process. In our opinion, one of the ways is the concept of blended learning. It implies the optimal combination of traditional pedagogical technologies and distance, online learning. The purpose of our research is to examine the effectiveness of the concept of blended learning in the process of learning a foreign language for students of non-philological majors. For this purpose, we conducted a pedagogical experiment. It assumes the introduction of the concept of blended learning in the educational process of higher education. The research was carried out with Ukrainian students of non-philological majors during the study of English (offline and online). Also, international students who are studying Ukrainian as a foreign language were involved. Comparative analysis of students' readiness to learn using different blended learning tools was used. Methods of mathematical statistics (nonparametric Kruskal-Wallis and Mann-Whitney criteria) were utilized to analyse and process the experimental data. The results of the study indicate the effectiveness of blended learning technology usage in the process of foreign language teaching. Nevertheless, they show that the proposed tools help students better master a foreign language. Besides, students are both in active learning and passively reinforcing their knowledge using digital technologies during education. The authors consider it indisputable that blended learning tools should be used to some extent for students of all majors. The authors understand that the proposed tools are not exhaustive and definitive. Their list should be extended, and the use of specific tools depends on the teacher, students, the course, and other factors.

Among public policy priorities on the development of higher education in the context of European integration of Ukraine the problem of constant educational quality improvement, modernization of educational process, introduction of educational innovations and information technologies are identified. An application of innovative methods of English teaching becomes relevant and is of great practical importance, especially in the context of Ukraine’s competitive presence in the international educational arena. With the reformation of foreign language teaching in higher educational institutions, lecturers create new opportunities for the implementation of didactic principles of individualization and differentiation of learning. The introduction of Blended learning technologies in Ukrainian universities is a new pedagogical approach that involves a combination of active use of streamlined on-line training and traditional classroom communication. The article covers examples of blended learning implementation in models of foreign language teaching at higher educational institutions. A use of blended learning model that combines elements of traditional and distance learning in different proportions is proposed. Different models of blended learning presented by foreign researchers are considered and generalized, models that can be integrated into the traditional educational process at higher educational institutions are proposed. The advantages and disadvantages of the blended learning system are analyzed and systematized.

The structure of the article is determined by the logic of designing the goals of foreign language teaching in a technical university. The highest level of generality of goals reflects the social demand of society as a whole and is presented in the Federal State Educational Standard of Higher Education. At the second level of goal formulation (Model Discipline Programs), they are specified according to the needs of the spheres of economics. In the development of Work Programs of Discipline within the framework of teaching in a specific university, final clarification of goals is required depending on the requirements of regional employers (the third level of specification of goals). In order to clarify the objectives of teaching foreign language to students of technical universities taking into account the requirements of the regional labour market, a questionnaire was conducted in 2019 for graduates of the National Research University „Moscow Institute of Electronic Technology,” working in a specialty in enterprises in the field of exact technologies in Zelenohrad (Moscow). The questionnaire showed that in addition to the four types of speech activities specified in the Model Programs on Foreign Language for Non-Language Universities, engineers use interpretation and translation in their professional activities. The rating of types of foreign language speech activity in descending order of their importance for professional activity of the engineer is as follows: reading – auditing – translation – writing – speaking. The most demanded professional foreign-language tasks in all types of speech activities (except translation) are solved by modern engineers in communicative situations using information technologies.
