THE USE OF INTERACTIVE EDUCATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES IN TEACHING A FOREIGN LANGUAGE
We substantiate the need for the use of interactive educational technologies in teaching a foreign language at a university. It was analyzed that the use of web quest technology, “flipped classroom” and “development of critical thinking” technologies in a foreign language class helps to achieve a high level of development of foreign language communicative and information and communication competencies, better memorization of the material studied, development of cognitive activity and logical thinking, and also increases the level of motivation to learn English. These technologies involve conducting non-traditional lectures and practical exercises, the purpose of which is to synthesize disparate knowledge from different branches of scientific thought, highlight the main and most important information, be able to lead a discussion, express one's point of view. The main interactive teaching methods have been identified, which involve turning to the logical methods of teaching, reflecting the logical operations of thinking, analysis,..., generalization, which corresponds to the current Federal State Educational Standards of Higher Education in the direction of training 44.04.01 “Pedagogical Education”. We focus on the creative nature of the educational technologies that contribute to the creation of a learning language environment, including in its space all students seeking creative search, self-expression, and self-development.
