Abstract:

The article discusses the peculiarities of forming a system of creative tasks for independent work of students who study a foreign language using LMS MOODLE. Computer-based learning facilities, willingness for computer forms of work with textual information, ability to electronically mediated communication in the language of study, stimulate independence of foreign students learning non-native language; act as a catalyst for their communicative and creative activity. Typology of computer-based work is based on the hierarchy of levels of communicative and creative activity: reproducing activity; integrative activity (reproduction with elements of production); creative activity.

On this basis, the stages of interaction with creative tasks at the A1–A2 levels are defined as following:
1) Introduction and adaptation (when necessary skills for independent work in Russian language in e-learning environment are formed);
2) development of independent activity and bringing it to a certain level of autonomy (in some specific cases);
3) development of autonomy while solving independently set creative communicative problems.

Main attention is given to the development of creative tasks for independent work, using MOODLE platform. Obviously, the role of a teacher in this case will change significantly: from the translation of knowledge and methods of activity to the design of individual paths for intellectual (and personal) growth of each student. To achieve this goal, the developed course should create a competent system of links to training materials, the system of assistance and comments to each task, as well as the ability to build individual learning trajectory. These actions should lead to the development of a system for adaptive learning a foreign language at the A1 and A2 levels.
