INNOVATIVE TEACHING TECHNIQUES IN DISTANCE LEARNING OF FOREIGN LANGUAGES
Abstract
The article deals with the expandability of the traditional distance learning by Internet technologies. The basis and the advantages of the Internet technologies application are described. The authors analyze the international experience in the creation of educational content. The most large-scale projects: Coursera, edX, TedEd and others are reviewed. It is revealed that the open educational resources available in Russia are at the stage of formation. The establishment and widespread use of OCW and MOOC in the universities, and their integration into the general federal educational content are required. Distance teaching techniques enable people to undertake a course of study in privacy. The advent of the Internet and the growth of Web have now transformed distance teaching from a broadcast mode to an interactive mode. Students should be given two types of learning materials before their actual course material, viz. one on computer literacy class and other one focusing on Internet and the Web skills for searching, retrieving, locating and downloading the information. For better understanding by the students, the mixed-model approach of combining satellite teleconferencing with hands-on activity sessions can also be conducted. It is suggested that innovative assessment approaches like presentation, posters about learned material, dioramas; student displays and project fairs with test papers are to be used to know the progress of the students. The authors concluded that problem-based learning would place students in the active role of problem solvers and confronts them with a real-world situation.
