Алгоритм сочетания мобильных технологий в лингводидактике высшей школы

Abstract

Nowadays, research in pedagogy is moving from understanding what mobile technologies are and how they work to widespread implementation. As a result, most studies are focused on the methodological interpretation of the specific mobile technologies that are relevant for a particular university. Despite the fact that mobile technologies are no longer considered a temporary phenomenon in linguodidactics of the higher school and are recognized as its integral element which requires further study, there are still no universal algorithms for combining mobile technologies to improve the process of teaching a foreign language at a university. The research focuses on the development of an algorithm for the use of mobile technologies in linguodidactics of a higher school. The author analyzes the experience of the colleagues and outlines the cognitive advantages of mobile technologies. In the course of a survey of professors from Novosibirsk university, it was apparent that they need methodological support in the use of mobile technologies in foreign language classes at a university. Based on the principles of universality, transparency, and focusing on the language disciplines, the author models an algorithm for combining mobile technologies that would facilitate the systematic use of M-learning in both blended and face-to-face learning. The algorithm was tested in the foreign language classes during the semester of blended learning with undergraduate students of the program “International Relations” as the participants. The results of the approbation prove that with the regular and reasonable application of M-learning tools it is possible to intensify and facilitate foreign language teaching at a university.
