Abstract:
Currently, the use of information technologies on the basis of modern educational and methodological complexes for teaching a foreign language allows to individualize and differentiate the educational process. The aim of the study is to identify the opportunities that modern information technologies offer in the process of teaching a foreign language to students of non-linguistic universities within the framework of the blended learning model. The problem under study emphasizes the professionally-oriented component in the teaching of a foreign language. In this regard, the following aspects are considered in the article: the problem of professional orientation in the course of teaching a foreign language; the possibility of using information technology in teaching a foreign language; blended learning model of English language education to students of non-linguistic specialties with the focus of professional orientation; information tools and methods of working with them in the framework of blended learning; the advantages of a constructive educational system in the context of students' self-organization when learning a foreign language.
