PEDAGOGICAL RATIONALE FOR THE USE OF INTERNET RESOURCES IN TEACHING FOREIGN LANGUAGES TO STUDENTS OF HUMANITARIAN HIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTIONS IN CONDITIONS OF ARTIFICIAL LANGUAGE ENVIRONMENT

Abstract

The article describes prospects for effective foreign language teaching in a university without leaving Russia. As regards the tasks that ensure the achievement of the goal, the author reveals the pedagogical meaning and essence of the foreign language environment creation in conditions of humanitarian education in general. Further, it seemed appropriate to consider the methodological possibilities of foreign language teaching, namely immersion in the language environment in a new socio-cultural situation. Modern Internet platforms are considered as “virtual bases” for the continued and developed international methodological cooperation (conducting binary master classes, interviews, quizzes, speaking contests in foreign languages, exhibitions of international educational services, etc.). Regarding the general pedagogical tasks of organizing the process of training interpreters, simulating foreign language communication and cultural immersion in real life by means of the Internet technologies is a way to facilitate students’ personal and professional development.
