Abstract

Learning a foreign language is considered in Ukraine as a necessary condition for admission to higher education institutions for highly paid professions and as an important part of globalization and international communication. The emphasis on learning a foreign language led to the introduction of a wide range of measures for effective language acquisition, from traditional English courses taught in the classroom of the University, to the use of synchronous-asynchronous learning tools. Learning through the Internet as a kind of distance learning “has the ability to be an ideal means of learning a foreign language, as synchronous and asynchronous technologies provide a large number of functions to ensure the organization and conduct of creative teaching activities, but the analysis of recent studies and publications showed that in the psychological and pedagogical, scientific and special literature is not sufficiently investigated the implementation of virtual electronic learning environments. The article presents the relevance of the need to find new methods and technologies of teaching activities for the study of a foreign language, which are adequate to modern trends and requirements of society. The analysis of the prospects of application of synchronous 3D virtual environment for the possibility of distance learning of a foreign language as one of the conditions of quality training of future specialists for professional activity is generalized. A number of General features, advantages, introduction of the virtual educational environment, in the conditions of the investigated technology considering psychological and pedagogical features of students, which are directed on development of productive thinking and educational activity, are characterized. Language learning in a 3D synchronous virtual environment is still at an experimental stage, with great potential for full immersion in distance learning programs. No change in the 21st century will be as significant or as far-reaching as distance learning, and if this is the case, the virtual learning environment in one form or another will play a very important role in educational programs.
