PECULIARITIES OF TEACHING FOREIGN LANGUAGES TO MIXED ABILITY GROUPS IN HIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTIONS

Abstract

The paper deals with a problem of developing skills and abilities of students of mixed ability groups within the framework of foreign language teaching in higher education institutions. Particular attention is paid to the forms of organisation of the learning process, the ways of applying such pedagogical technologies as mutual learning and cooperative learning, as well as the possibility of providing students with multiple choice of tasks at each stage of work with new material. Conclusions are made about the effectiveness of the analysed methods, specific ways of their application in foreign language classes were indicated. The author proposed options for the use of modern information technologies in order to optimise the educational process, increase student motivation and create a comfortable educational space. The article also includes recommendations for planning different stages of the lesson according to the analysed teaching metholody. This view of the problem will be of interest to specialists in linguistics, pedagogy and psychology.
