USING THE MANAGERIAL SYSTEMS WHILE TRAINING A FOREIGN LANGUAGE WITH STUDENTS AT NON-LINGUISTIC HIGHER SCHOOL

Abstract

The article reveals the necessity of studying and using management systems in foreign language training of students of a non-linguistic university. The most significant approaches to the study of a foreign language at the contemporary stage have been identified as well as the expediency of selecting the most effective of them. Moreover, the need for a foreign language collaboration between students and a teacher while studying a foreign language is emphasized aiming at increasing the volume of speech practice that each student may achieve in classes. It is proposed to consider the possibilities of intensifying the work of a lecturer through the use of electronic test platforms and learning management systems in education, such as Moodle, ATutor, OLAT, Claroline, LAMS, OpenACS, Dokeos, Sakai. The author concludes that it is necessary to use in the educational process more modern means of communication, which have become ambivalent: they are a relevant means of communication, while essentially being a tool of production in the era of softization. Accustomed to students communicators (smartphones, phones with different operating systems), tablet computers (tablets) are an effective resource and means of knowledge production.
