МЕДИАОБРАЗОВАТЕЛЬНЫЕ ТЕХНОЛОГИИ В ПРЕПОДАВАНИИ ИНОСТРАННОГО ЯЗЫКА: К ВОПРОСУ ИНТЕГРАЦИИ ЗНАНИЙ

Abstract

In modern society as a result of the processes of globalization of both the media space and the educational environment, the need for learning the English language is actively promoted. The economy of the new information, communication and technological level makes special de-mands to the modern person. They must be a versatile personality who knows how to find neces-sary information, criticallyanalyze it, navigate well in the media space and know a foreign lan-guage. This article discusses the possibility of creating such a model for conducting English languageclasses which would contribute to the formation of media educational competencies in students of various fields of training that meet the requirements of the modern digital economy. The authors of the article suggest that this problem can be solved by using media education technologies during English classes. The authors analyze in detail the use of the original content of the TED Talks portal, which for 5 years (since 2016) has been usedat English language classes with students of non-linguistic specialties at Bunin Yelets State University. The authors are confident that this ap-proach allows students to more actively immerse themselves in the language environment, get better acquainted with cultural realities of the country of the target language and listen to mod-ern live English speech. The article describes the development of an integrative lesson for students of the depart-ment of journalism, where the media content of the TED Talks portal is used. It is concluded that modern education requires closer integration of a foreign language and media. This can be partly realized by the systematic use of the modern content of the TED Talks portal, which con-tributes not only to the development of language skills, but also teaches to critically analyze me-dia materials of various genres and create own communicative media product.
