Внедрение мобильных средств обучения иностранным языкам в учебный процесс

Introduction. Digitalisation is a process of transformation covering all spheres of society. The introduction of digital technologies significantly changes approaches to learning, opening new opportunities for building a flexible educational process. Mobile learning, as a form of digital education, plays an important role in this transformation, giving learners access to materials anytime and anywhere, making the educational process more accessible and adapted to the requirements of modern society. The theoretical analysis consists in examining the digitalisation of education in order to define the concept of mobility in the context of digital pedagogy, paying special attention to the concept of mobile-assisted language learning and its key components. The role of the teacher in the educational process is considered, which is done through the analysis of pedagogical behaviours in the classroom. The empirical analysis of the study consists of a pedagogical experiment based on the analysis conducted, which investigates the use of mobile blogging as a means of completing written foreign language assignments. In conclusion, the possibilities of adapting mobile language learning in different educational contexts are discussed and the prospects for effective integration of mobile blogging into the practice of foreign language teaching in higher education are positively evaluated.

Making Sense of the COVID-19 Pandemic: The Use of Blogging by People with Inflammatory Bowel Disease

ABSTRACT During the global COVID-19 pandemic one population that faced special challenges was individuals with preexisting chronic health conditions. In this study, we examined how people with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) managed their autoimmune disease, considering their increased susceptibility to contracting COVID-19. Specifically, we analyzed how people with IBD made sense of their precarious position through the writing of publicly accessible blogs. We found that for IBD patients, navigating healthcare needs in the context of pandemic-related concerns and restrictions meant grappling with several salient, but conflicting tensions: separation vs. connection, safety vs. exposure, uncertainty vs. control, and resilience vs. vulnerability. People with IBD struggled to find a balance between living with IBD while keeping themselves and their loved ones safe from the virus. While the worst of the COVID-19 pandemic may be over, the underlying disease, and the tensions the disease causes, is still present for people with IBD.
