Abstract

The processes of globalization and informatization have a significant impact on all spheres of human life, including engineering education at higher school. The popularity of information technologies is due to a number of factors, among which one can underline their effectiveness and the possibilities they offer. One of the most common forms in the system of higher professional education is the development of computer-assisted teaching materials (CATM), the active use of which is due to a number of their advantages, in comparison with the difficulties that arise for teachers at the stage of their development and implementation, and for students when performing assignments. In this article the authors consider the features of computer-assisted teaching materials of the discipline, as well as the principles taken into account when creating it in terms of teaching «Foreign language» to students taking engineering programs courses at higher school. Teaching materials structure contains interactive tools for communication between the teacher and students, including information forums, thanks to which students track changes in the course of the educational process and, if necessary, contact the teacher. The organization of successful educational activities is also facilitated by such components of CATM as the «Implementation Scheme», «Training Mode», syllabus and student performance assessment system, which provide monitoring of the results of mastering the discipline on time and allow you to make adjustments to the individual trajectory of student learning. According to the authors’ observations, the implementation of interactive tasks in a foreign language, including watching authentic lectures and online resources, contributes to the development of communication in a foreign language for solving the problems of professional field, as well as the education of competitive engineers of a new generation capable of independent learning, thanks to which the process of learning a foreign language becomes more efficient.
