Summary
Исследуется изменение глобальной парадигмы образования в условиях пандемии коронавируса. Такой переход взаимодействия студентов и педагогов, которые неожиданно оказались в совершенно новых для них условиях, требует от преподавателей пересмотра традиционных методик, поскольку при дистанционных занятиях студенты достаточно быстро теряют концентрацию, мотивацию, отвлекаются на посторонние вопросы, и, как следствие, результаты снижаются. Включение игровых приемов в процесс обучения иностранным языкам позволяет создать атмосферу непринужденного общения, повысить мотивацию и интерес студентов к предмету, поднять их самооценку и улучшить результаты. Важным результатом проведенного исследования стал вывод о необходимости пересмотра традиционных методик преподавания иностранных языков в условиях пандемии коронавируса и адаптации курсов преподавания к новым дистанционным технологиям, включение в них игровых методик, которые способствуют повышению мотивации студентов и улучшению их самооценки. Языковые игры являются ценным ресурсом для адаптации курсов обучения иностранному языку в условиях пандемии коронавируса и переходу на дистанционное обучение.
