Abstract
The search for productive methods of learning foreign languages is urgent for increasing communication needs of society due to globalization. The aim of the research was to find, introduce into the educational process and test the productivity of interactive methods that can be used in the study of foreign languages and the development of basic competencies. The study involved theoretical and empirical methods, pedagogical experiment and observation. The ADDIE (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, Evaluation) model was also used in the research. Linguodidactic tests were used to assess the skills acquired by students, which are part of the basic competencies. Mathematical methods for processing experimental data, Pearson’s criterion and Cohen’s coefficient were also used. The following were chosen among the 20 interactive methods: project method, discussion, conversation, collective analysis of the situation, role play, work in pairs, work in small groups and the use of mobile applications. Their effectiveness was investigated in learning the following foreign languages: English, German, French, Spanish, Polish. It was found that they have a positive effect on improving the correctness of language, its purity, clarity, accuracy, logic, expressiveness, conciseness. They also contribute to the development of skills to structure the report, analyse information, formulate and voice opinions, use language tools. Listening and reading improve the results, they develop the ability to correctly answer questions, express oneself in accordance with the given topic etc. Further research can be focused on identifying and developing new effective interactive teaching methods for development of foreign language competencies in students.
Highlights
Globalization leads to the interaction of people, who are carriers of different cultures, languages, religions, life types
Different teachers use different interactive methods when teaching foreign languages. These include project-based learning, thematic learning, e-learning, creative assignments, working in pairs and small groups, discussions, conversations, role plays, interactive lectures, case studies, research, surveys, lectures with pre-planned mistakes, warm-up, project method, dramatization, web simulation game, use of virtual reality, which contributes to immersion in the atmosphere of the country the language of which is being studied
The interactive methods of teaching a foreign language introduced in this work allowed making the process of developing basic competencies more effective
Summary
Globalization leads to the interaction of people, who are carriers of different cultures, languages, religions, life types. This in turn encourages people to get acquainted with the culture, history and peculiarities of life in different countries, as well as to learn non-native languages. To make the process of learning a foreign language productive, to achieve maximum results in a short period of time, it is necessary to look for effective projects, strategies and teaching methods. They help to update existing knowledge in the student’s long-term memory and combine it with new information. Different teachers use different interactive methods when teaching foreign languages.
