The purpose of this paper is to develop a general approach to the application of a differentiated approach to teaching students a foreign language, taking into account the use of features of distance learning.

Objectives of the study consists of the analysis of distant technologies of foreign language teaching, features and advantages of the differential method in teaching a foreign language and peculiarities of its application in distance courses, as well as the development of the generalizing principles and the model of differentiated approach to learning a foreign language in distance learning for the university students.

The research methodology is based on personality-oriented, network-based and competence-based approaches to foreign language education of students. The study used the method of content analysis of scientific research on the subject of distance learning and foreign language teaching of university students, pedagogical modeling, statistical analysis and monitoring of the results of the application of a differentiated approach in foreign language distance learning of university students. In the experimental stage of the study, 28 foreign language teachers from 3 universities and 3,056 students from non-linguistic areas of study took part.

The results of the study presented the benefits and features of a differentiated approach in the foreign-language distance learning of university students, created the descriptive teaching model of a differentiated approach to foreign language training of students in distance learning courses, described the general principles for the implementation of a differentiated approach to the foreign language distance learning.

In conclusion, we have presented a statistical analysis and monitoring of the results of applying a differentiated approach to teaching a foreign language to university students in the framework of distance education.
