Abstract

The present paper describes digital technology models in modern schools within distance education as foreign language learning experience. The given description is supported by the survey results among schoolchildren as FL learners in Volgograd. It was conducted in MarchApril 2020 and showed that most schoolchildren (77%) were not ready for forced distance learning, introduced in connection with the Covid-19 spread. The experiment made it possible to apply digital technology models: “Single Media” presents pedagogical guidance for schoolchildren at low level of readiness, “Multimedia” gives pedagogical support for schoolchildren at medium level of readiness, and “Hypermedia” provides pedagogical support for schoolchildren at high level of readiness. These models give schoolchildren learning foreign languages the fastest adaptation and personal growth via digital learning.

Highlights

  • Humanity around the world in 2020 found itself in an unforeseen life situation of selfisolation caused by the Covid-19 pandemic, which seriously affected changes in education, which in an unprecedentedly short time, at an accelerated pace was forced to make the transition to distance learning for schoolchildren in the global world and Russia

  • The transition to a distance learning format made it possible to maintain the continuity of the educational process in schools during the academic year 2019-2020; the state timely fixed the legal status of distance education through amendments to the law "On Education in the Russian Federation" (Art. 16) [9]

  • 78% of students who switched to online learning because of the pandemic were in favor of face-to-face learning and expressed dissatisfaction with the distance learning format because of the increased amount of homework

Introduction

Humanity around the world in 2020 found itself in an unforeseen life situation of selfisolation caused by the Covid-19 pandemic, which seriously affected changes in education, which in an unprecedentedly short time, at an accelerated pace was forced to make the transition to distance learning for schoolchildren in the global world and Russia. In the current situation of active development of information society, the search for the most optimal theoretical models of digital technologies in a modern school, which allow increasing the level and efficiency of the renewing system of domestic education, aimed at improving the global system of distance education, corresponding to the dynamic, innovative technologies in educational practice, is becoming increasingly important [10, 14, 16]. The development of digital technology models in schools is due to the increasing number and quality of a variety of software products used for various educational purposes, the use of interactive video, teleconferencing, satellite television in educational activities; international integration into a piece of single information and educational space
