USE OF ELECTRONIC RESOURCES AND WEB SERVICES IN TEACHING FOREIGN LANGUAGES

Abstract

The article raises the question of the need to use network electronic resources and web services in teaching professionally oriented foreign language communication in non-linguistic institutions of higher education. The need to use a communicative approach is noted, as the introduction of new technologies involves active communication with foreign colleagues. That is why foreign language teaching in a non- linguistic educational institution is considered as an integral part of professional training for a specialist. It is noted that information and communication technologies provide information content for communication. Various Internet applications, network resources, platforms that help in foreign language learning are described in detail. The benefits of each network resource and program are revealed. It is emphasized that the application of modern computer technologies in the learning process is considered as one of the main tasks of increasing the educational efficiency at the university. It has been proven that information and communication technologies can be applied in different types of educational activities: independent information search, self-education, in classes, in extracurricular/extramural time, in distance courses. The need to create a catalog of educational resources of the Internet is considered, which introduces teachers to the possibilities of using information technologies in professional activities. The author emphasizes that the use of Internet applications, electronic and technical means stimulates language activity, communicative readiness and creativity, which is especially important when teaching professionally oriented foreign language communication. It is emphasized that Internet resources can include reference literature, educational, scientific, methodological, historical, cultural and technical information as well.a
