Using of innovative and informative technologies in FLT. (role plays, project works, case study, computer technologies)

Foreign languages are getting more important due to the processes of globalization under conditions of modern society. Nowadays foreign language knowledge is an essential condition for any specialists’ high qualification. Foreign languages learning allows people to broaden their communicative skills, the range of the vision, to raise culture level and etc. English language is a leader among the other languages owing to creation of universal economical, informational and cultural space.

Due to the necessity of learning foreign languages several questions arise: how to teach, what methods to use, how to organize learning process more effectively.

the following conditions for successful language acquisition. They are:

Motivation for learning;

Language abilities, intercultural, social and cultural competency, background knowledge;

Linguistic environment which gives the opportunity to get and use the knowledge.

It is very important to create positive atmosphere on the lessons. The conditions have to incline to communicate. One of the conditions is linguistic environment which gives the opportunity to speak and use knowledge in practice. Permanent contact with linguistic environment is very important. This is the motivation for learning. If there is no opportunity to learn language in the country of studied language it is necessary to use the experience of using electronic and multimedia resources. New technologies open the great opportunities, give good technical support and optimize learning process. The process of focused and systematic approach of language acquisition should be based on communicative approach, to form linguistic personality who will be able to intercultural cooperation, should develop language skills, i.e. to express thought fluently, spontaneously and correctly in the foreign language. Personal motive plays an important role too.

Usage of pedagogical technologies.

These innovative technologies are:

Pupil-centred teaching technology;

Health saving technology;

Gaming technology;

The technology of communicative teaching of foreign culture;

Problem-based teaching;

Elements of intensive technique;

Scriptwriting context technology;

Informational – communicative technology;

Project technology;

Cooperative learning and etc.

Let’s consider some of them.

According to pupil-centred teaching technology in the centre of teaching is a pupil himself, his motives, goals and unrepeatable psychological warehouse. The teacher determines teaching aim of the lesson, organize, direct and correct teaching process on the assumption of pupil’s interests, the level of his knowledge and skills in the context of this approach.

At the lessons it is necessary to memorize, speak, write, read, listen and analyze the information a lot that is why the teacher should pay special attention to health saving technologies. Using ways of health saving technologies (physical minutes, movable games, different usage of healthy living rules and etc.) gives the opportunity to form stable needs and value orientation of the pupils to save and strengthen the health.

Gaming technology. A game is the strongest motive in pupils’ language acquisition. While playing, students are involved in teaching process with pleasure without any special effort. Schoolchildren of all ages play with joy especially if the game has a form of competition and requires savvy, quick reaction and good knowledge of the subject. Game methods are very diverse. Each game has its own function and contributes the accumulation of linguistic material, fixes acquired knowledge and forms speech skills and competencies. Games develop concentration, remove the fatigue, raise pupil’s mental activity, create the atmosphere of keenness. Teaching games help to make the foreign language teaching process interesting and creative.

The technology of communicative teaching of foreign culture is based on communication. The learning process is a model of real communication which allows achieving high adaptation level to foreign language communication.

Problem-based teaching supposes an independent decision of cognitive and creative tasks through critical reinterpretation and augmenting of knowledge and skills. This technology allows realizing the condition of formation in pupils cognitive universal activities, create the atmosphere of co-creation in communication, involving the emotional pupil’s sphere, personal pupil’s interest, joint searching for truth, self-assessment, self-correction and self-sufficiency.

At the heart of methodical system of intensive technique is the method of activization of personal and group opportunities which are characterized by active using of psychological and social – psychological personal and group opportunities (pupils communicate to each other actively, broaden their knowledge and improve skills and competencies).

Scriptwriting context technology is based on the principles of business communication and playing situation of business communication in learning process such as interview, discussions, school business situation.

Informational – communicative technology is a powerful way of teaching, control and management of learning process, i.e. this is the most important option of social and cultural system. Internet resources are usual and comfortable way of knowing the foreign countries’ cultures and nation, communication, getting the information and inexhaustible source of education process.

One of the methods of pupils’ activization in the foreign language teaching process is project technology when the pupil plans, creates, protects his projects themselves, i.e. pupils are involved in the process of communicative activity. Tutorial project is a complex of search, investigative, calculated, graphical and other types of work which are realized by pupils themselves with the view of practical and theoretical decision of significant problem.

Thus innovative technologies which were examined significantly enrich foreign languages teaching and make it diverse. Replacing monotonous work new intellectual creative searching form comes where a new type of personality appears. This person is active and purposeful and is oriented to permanent self-education and development.
