Electronic teaching AIDS as a means of intensifying the process of foreign language teaching

Abstract

Increasing interest in the study of foreign languages leads to a growing number of students of language faculties of universities. As a result, the input level of the students' language proficiency can be both advanced and quite low. In this regard, the task of identifying pedagogical conditions of the intensification of the foreign language teaching process, and the search for universal tools of increasing the productivity of the learning process becomes urgent. The solution of this task required the use of theoretical and analytical methods supplemented with the method of experimental training and statistical methods of data processing. The study revealed a system of pedagogical conditions conducive to the creation of a productive educational environment, including methodological, content-based, technical, organizational and personal conditions. As a universal tool, a "physical shell" for the implementation of the identified conditions we determined the creation of an educational and methodological online resource. The introduction of this tool in solving the problems of teaching the 1st-year students with low level of language and educational proficiency allowed us to increase the effectiveness of language training in the experimental group, as well as to form the readiness of students to build an individual learning path in the framework of independent work. The use of educational and methodological online manual was no less effective in experimental training of students with advanced language proficiency in the development of their multicultural consciousness. The results of the development of cognitive, functional and behavioral components of multicultural consciousness of the students of the experimental group were somewhat higher than in the control group. The results of the study thus prove the effectiveness and high practical value of electronic educational resources. The use of such resources allows intensifying the process of foreign language teaching, increasing the share of students' productive independent work, provides students with an opportunity to choose an individual path in working with educational materials, and, ultimately, contributes to the formation of the necessary competences.
