TEACHING FOREIGN LANGUAGES WITH INTERACTIVE METHODS

Abstract

As it is known, there is an important shift from passive to active learning. Therefore special attention is paid to strengthen technological aspects of specialist training & implementation-centered approach to the learning process where the student takes an active part in cognitive activity. Foreign language teachers must find ways to increase level of students’ involvement in the process of studying, to raise their motivation for learning languages. One way to reach these goals is using interactive technologies at classes. It helps to develop student’ creativity, imagination, increase their cognitive interest in studying foreign languages and improve their communicative skills. The term “interactive learning technology” is usually connected with computer or multimedia learning, as it implies interactive dialogue with real partners and direct exchange of messages. But this notion is wider and means collective cognitive activity where all participants interact, exchange information, solve problems in atmosphere of real collaboration, estimate their own actions.
