Abstract:

In modern world, the approach to education should also provide for new ways of getting knowledge. Today, the question of an effective foreign language teaching is considered by many specialists. Methodologists and teachers tend to believe that the learning process should have a certain novelty, and teachers should approach the organization of their activities using various new methods. Since the role of the Internet and innovative resources is huge nowadays, in this article we have considered the use of the modern TED platform as a means and motivation for learning a foreign language especially on the stage of teaching speaking.

The relevance of the research is due to the contrariety of the educational value of using Internet resources in foreign language lessons in the formation of communicative competence and the infrequent use of these technologies in the organization of educational activities.

The purpose of this study is to develop a strategy for working with the TED platform, to identify its advantages, disadvantages and ways of implementing it in foreign language classes, to justify the effectiveness and appropriateness of using TED video materials. To achieve these goals, the following methods were chosen: the study and analysis of methodological literature, educational and methodological complexes and Internet resources; pedagogical survey; targeting the results of using Internet resources for students of the advance stage of education.

In the course of the study, we managed to learn that if at the senior stage of training, students' speaking skills should be formed at a quite high level, then it can be managed more effectively with the help of innovative Internet resources.

Analyzing the work we have done, we can say with confidence that using the TED platform is an excellent way to teach a foreign language. Taking into account the current situation in the country, innovative technologies have acquired a new character and have become more relevant and effective in mastering various skills and abilities. If we consider the fact that high school students have a tendency to use all sorts of gadgets, Internet resources, the TED platform was proven to be interesting for students, especially they were attracted by the opportunity to study various video materials at home, independently. We were able to confirm this fact experimentally during the study.

It is impossible to deny the fact that the topic of the study was distinguished by novelty and there were many doubts and questions about its quality and method of implementation. Nevertheless, we were able to get the necessary results and conclude that the TED video material is not limited to the ability to develop listening skills and increase the vocabulary. We explored a new application for the platform i.e. implementation as a way to develop and improve speaking skills, and got the desired effect.

The practical importance of the study is that the results can facilitate the choice of information technologies for language teaching lessons.
This study was focused on the high stage of education, but further research could provide opportunities for analyzing the use of Internet-technologies at the secondary stage of education.
