https://doi.org/10.24412/2225-8264-2026-1-1090
Abstract
The paper deals with the current problem of digital educational resources and platforms for teaching English in the BRICS+ countries using the example of Russia, China, and India. Special attention is paid to the prospect of creating a common methodological fund. The research objective is to identify the best modern digital educational resources and platforms for teaching English in universities in the key BRICS+ countries (Russia, China, India) and to develop a conceptual model of a common methodological foundation. The research methods used are description, comparative analysis, case study method, synthesis of empirical data.
As a result of the research, the types and characteristics of the digital educational resources used in key BRICS+ countries are systematized, and a multilevel model of a common methodological foundation based on the convergence of the best national digital practices is proposed. The paper considers the 5 most relevant features for which a comparative analysis of the key platforms was conducted: XuetangX (China), SWAYAM (India), CDEE (Russia), which became the basis for the general methodological foundation proposed by the authors. The results obtained emphasize the need to create a common methodological fund, which is a strategic tool for improving the effectiveness of education in BRICS+.
