The Role of Non-Verbal Communication in Language Classes in a Multilingual Audience (from Experience of Working on Electronic Educational Platforms)

The article was written on the current topic of improving intercultural communication in the context of globalization and the rapid development of high technologies. The purpose of the article is to study the role and characteristics of mastering nonverbal communication skills by students studying foreign languages in higher education in intercultural interaction, as well as to develop proposals for the use of electronic educational platforms to improve the effectiveness of learning. The problem is that in Kazakhstan’s universities there are not enough academic hours to master non-verbal communication, so almost no attention is paid to this aspect of learning foreign languages. At the same time, ignoring the training of students in nonverbal communication of representatives of the cultures of the foreign languages being studied is a serious omission of the higher education system, since it impedes the full intercultural communication of future specialists. Today it is necessary to look for modern pedagogical technologies, methods and techniques to solve this problem. The article uses the following research methods: dialectical cognition, formal logic, analysis of scientific literature, linguistic and cultural approach, induction, deduction, comparison, complex analysis and modeling. The authors of the article come to the conclusion that effective intercultural interaction is impossible without mastering nonverbal communication of other peoples of the world. The authors of the article propose to teach university students nonverbal communication of other cultures using modern remote technologies, for example, virtual classes on electronic educational platforms. In particular, it is possible to create appropriate training modules with different tasks, exercises, lecture material, audio and video files, as well as final testing or project protection. This will allow students to study and practice nonverbal communication skills in a convenient distance format, including with native speakers of foreign languages (video lectures, real-time communication with native speakers of the languages being studied, performing creative tasks, etc.). Since today, through the Internet, all students and teachers interact with foreigners to one degree or another, solving educational tasks and analyzing specific cases will not be difficult for them. A promising direction for further research, according to the authors of the article, may be methodological developments for the introduction of electronic courses on mastering non-verbal communication of cultures of the countries of the foreign languages they study into the curricula of the higher school.

Methodology of Teaching Basic Types of Speech Activity in Foreign Language to Pedagogical Students

The study of the methodology of teaching foreign languages to students is very important in the context of globalization and the rapid development of high technologies. The article’s aim is to study the methodology of teaching students four types of speech activity in foreign languages. The problem is that universities currently do not pay enough attention to the integrated development of all four types of speech activity, which can only be realized through the use of modern information and communication interactive technologies. The following research methods are used in the article: analysis of scientific literature, induction, deduction, comparison, complex analysis and forecasting, which allowed experimentally to substantiate and show the feasibility of using podcasts on electronic educational platforms when teaching university students a foreign language. The article’s author comes to the conclusion that the use of a set of exercises based on listening to podcasts is effective for the development of four types of speech activity among students, and is useful for providing more informative language material relative to traditional teaching methods. Podcasts increase the level of general cognitive activity of students and motivation, as they provide emotional involvement in obtaining new information. Thanks to podcasts, teachers have the opportunity to individualize learning, differentiate tasks for students based on their level of knowledge and interests, and show the wide possibilities of self-education. The article’s author believes that a promising direction for further research may be the search for the possibilities of methodological justification for the inclusion of podcasts in the curricula of universities.

PECULIARITIES OF DESIGNING GROUP WORK ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF SUBJECTNESS IN THE VIRTUAL LEARNING SPACE

Group work designing on the development of subjectivity in a virtual educational space is an important and relevant task for both psychology and pedagogy. Its solution and practical implementation have a substantial impact on the effectiveness of distance learning and psychological development, in particular, on the development of adult subjectivity. Subjectivity is defined as the competence of being a subject of activity, a source of influence on reality, and an intention of its transformation; accordingly, the subject of activity is characterized by such qualities as purposefulness, activity, and initiative. The degree of development of these qualities characterizes the degree of subjectivity development. Subjectivity is a targeting and competence to change reality in the broadest sense. Virtual educational spaces are learning tools as well as tools for personality and intelligence development. The design of an educational (or educational and developmental) course in a virtual educational space for the development of subjectivity, which includes group educational and psychological work (and, accordingly, group dynamics), includes such components as defining the goal of education, formulating tasks (volumes of work), training program, psychological-pedagogical scenario, student model, teacher (leader) model, capabilities of the technological educational platform, etc. Further research into the possibilities and features of designing distance educational and development courses, studying the specifics of their design on different electronic educational platforms, with different communication tools, with different content, with the presence and absence of video communication, multimedia component, "mixed" format of work, etc., is necessary.

INFLUENCE OF ASSESSMENT METHODS ON INTERMEDIATE RESULTS OF MEDICAL STUDENTS

The conducted research revealed that first-year students of the medical faculty prefer distance learning and the use of multiple-choice testing on an electronic educational platform when studying the course "Bioorganic Chemistry." Meanwhile, traditional classroom sessions without visual aids and open-ended questions showed the lowest performance indicators. However, students mentioned that they most effectively assimilate the educational material during such sessions, while also acknowledging the positive impact of quality visual aids on comprehension. Based on the obtained results, it is recommended to continue developing a question bank and utilizing the electronic educational platform with multiple-choice testing, but with modifications to the tasks and variations in test parameters. The research indicates that students perceive the use of technology and interactive teaching methods positively, which provide a more flexible learning environment and the opportunity for independent study. The research findings can be valuable in curriculum development and improving the quality of the educational process. Furthermore, it is worth considering the possibility of implementing a wider range of interactive teaching methods and utilizing modern technologies that foster active student engagement in the learning process.

This direction is focused on applied research in solving specific problems and using at the same time interdisciplinary connections, concepts and methods, which today are followed and formed in natural and technical sciences and mathematics and digital technologies. The study of the STEM direction is not yet provided for in the main curriculum of educational institutions but takes place mostly through webinars, advanced training courses, conferences, etc. And with the introduction of distance learning into the educational process, electronic educational platforms for mastering certain knowledge have become relevant. The purpose of the article is the analysis of educational resources regarding the provision of STEM education or the training of teachers for its implementation. The article examines well-known foreign (Coursera, edX, Udemy) and Ukrainian (Prometheus and EdEra) open educational platforms. The choice of these platforms is based on: popularity, a convenient interface with the ability to filter courses, the presence of courses with the word "STEM" in the title, free access. The considered quantitative analysis of STEM courses on the specified platforms showed that there are no STEM courses on Ukrainian platforms. To get an idea of the capacity (content) of STEM-related courses, we took individual courses on the Coursera, edX, Udemy platforms. Namely, the course "Emprendiendo en STEM" (Coursera), "Advancing Learning Through Evidence-Based STEM Teaching" (edX), "Finding the Art in Engineering - STEM to STEAM" (Udemy). Based on the results of the analysis of courses on open educational platforms related to STEM education, it was concluded that Coursera contains the largest number of courses that mention STEM. At the same time, examples of their completion show that the developers do not offer courses specifically for acquiring STEM education.
