Abstract

This article examines the effectiveness of pedagogical techniques and means of stimulating educational motivation during the classes “Rendering and annotating text in a foreign language” in distant learning in higher education. Experimental training was conducted to test the effectiveness of the authors’ electronic text rendering tutorial for students learning Italian as a second language. The experiment was carried out among the 2-nd and 3-rd year students of the Linguistics department in the Institute of Foreign Languages of the RUDN University in the 2019-2020 and 2020-2021 academic years. Currently e-learning has successfully integrated into the system of traditional education and is no longer seen as an alternative. The authors of this article focused on a combination of resources and tools from the Microsoft Teams platform and elaborated tutorial on rendering to motivate learners with distant learning. The article describes pedagogical practices for enhancing the motivation of students. We are talking about texts for rendering all major genres, functional styles, various topics, taking into account the level of students’ preparedness. With the aim of involving students in rendering activities and active expression of their own opinion, the researchers used an “ interpretive abstract “and included the paragraph “ OPPINIONE “ as its component. Experimental verification, its results and conclusions showed that combined rendering training based on e- tutorial developed by the authors and Microsoft Teams platform activates students’ motivation and contributes to their involvement in the process. The experiment showed another strong point of distant learning: it made a great contribution to the development of students’ independence, self-discipline and responsibility. 220.

Summary

Introduction

After nearly two years of distant learning, it is clear that it should remain even if the coronavirus crisis is overcome. The authors do not try to describe the advantages and possibilities of this form of education, since it has already become commonplace. According to B.E. Starichenko, today it is imposible to achieve learning goals without IT [1]. Proponents of online learning , such as S. Leon [4], to name just a few, have recognized that e-learning has several advatages over traditional learning. “ The online environment promotes student- centered learning, encourages wider students’ participation and provides deep and more reasoned discussion than the traditional classical attitude “ [5] Leon [4], to name just a few, have recognized that e-learning has several advatages over traditional learning. “ The online environment promotes student- centered learning, encourages wider students’ participation and provides deep and more reasoned discussion than the traditional classical attitude “ [5]
