TOOLS TO IMPROVE FOREIGN LANGUAGE TEACHING

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.
