Implementation of Blended Learning Rotation Model in Teaching Business English and Business Ukrainian in Higher Education Institutions

Abstract

The article is devoted to the problem of implementation of a blended learning approach in the language training of undergraduate students specializing in International Economic Relations and Public Management and Administration. The historical background, structural and functional features of blended learning are outlined. The relevance of the study is determined by the benefits of combining online and offline learning modes at Ukrainian universities in wartime as well as by the absence of specialized scientific works providing linguistic and methodological support for interdisciplinary teaching of Business English and Business Ukrainian. Based on the ideas of foreign and Ukrainian scientists and modern methods of scientific research, the present experimental study proves the effectiveness of the rotation model of blended learning for the acquisition of systematized linguistic knowledge, skills, and abilities needed for the effective use of the native and foreign languages in professional communication. The article is illustrated with tables, figures, and samples of instructional materials placed on the Moodle online platform. It also outlines the perspectives for future research on other aspects of blended language learning and interdisciplinary teaching at the university.
