Abstract:

The role of foreign languages in the world economic integration is constantly growing. The Bologna process led to the creation of a single higher educational space in Europe, indispensability to acquire foreign languages in order to be successful in education and labor markets. The integration of universities into the world educational system necessitated a revision of the language training model at the Institutions of higher education.

Language acquisition is an introduction to a different culture, mastering a new socio-cultural context; therefore, the basis for foreign language teaching should not only be memorizing information, but also the active participation of trainees in gaining knowledge, and shaping their ability for independent productive activities in foreign languages.

A wide variety of educational activities arouse interest in students to learn foreign languages. Multichannel knowledge-sharing is a way to modernize the global cultural space.

The purpose of this paper is the use of up-to-date technologies in language teaching at Institutions of higher education.

The methodological basis of the study is the dialogic paradigm of education, which treats learning as an act of interaction between the teacher and the student with a view to assimilate the latter the social experience content focusing on the trainer-trainee interaction through the subject-subject relations.

The article analyzes some digital resources, that contribute to achieve the goal and considers training methods based on the knowledge creation and close Teacher–Student and Students-Students interacting.

Some teaching methods are based on game activity with elements of competitiveness. Task-based approaches improve the students' speaking skill, develop communication and the practical uses of language.

The results of the research can be used in foreign language teaching.
