ПІДВИЩЕННЯ МОТИВАЦІЇ СТУДЕНТІВ ДО ВИВЧЕННЯ ІНОЗЕМНОЇ МОВИ ПРИ НАВЧАННІ ОНЛАЙН

Abstract

The article deals with the issue of increasing the students’ motivation to learn a foreign language in online learning. Based on the analysis of theoretical sources and materials of practical activity, it is established that the problem of forming educational and cognitive motivation can be considered an educational goal. If a foreign language teacher arouses interest in the lesson's theme, he uses motivation as a means of teaching and upbringing. Maintaining students' positive motivation to learn a foreign language becomes the principal task of the teacher. Much attention is paid to the reasons for the decline in motivation to learn a foreign language after entering a higher education institution and to the study of ways to increase the motivation of university students of non-philological specialities to learn English in online learning. It has been found that out of the two main types of motivation - extrinsic and intrinsic - at the beginning of learning a foreign language, extrinsic motivation dominates, it aims for the student to achieve a "super task", while intrinsic motivation appears later, when the student sets himself tasks that motivate him to learn the language. A student is motivated when he or she is interested, when the student believes that he can do something and the result of his work will be noticeable, i.e. motivation is determined by his aspirations, ideas and needs. If a student has the educational and cognitive motivation, then the ability of a teacher to constantly develop students' educational motives becomes the main one. The article provides examples of maintaining positive motivation by diversifying learning tasks in online classes. Authentic materials on the Internet related to students' specialities play a principal role in this process. The paper gives some examples of maintaining positive motivation by diversifying learning tasks in online classes, including Internet technologies, which creates a positive attitude toward learning English. Authentic materials from the Internet play a principal role in this process. For example, students majoring in Hotel and Restaurant Business search for menus and recipes on the websites of operating restaurants in the United States and Britain, study and discuss them, create presentations, and use such materials in the role games.
