DIGITAL LITERACY OF A FOREIGN LANGUAGE TEACHER IN THE ONLINE ERA: NEW ROLES AND PERSPECTIVES

The article examines the readiness of teachers to work online in the current epidemiological situation in the world. The concept of digital literacy and culture of a foreign language teacher in the field of higher professional education is revealed. The levels of digital readiness of teachers to work in the information and educational environment of the university are revealed. The criteria of digital literacy of foreign language teachers are determined on the basis of working programs according to the standards of the new generation. An algorithm for the formation and development of digital literacy and teacher culture is being developed, which consists of the following stages: diagnosis, training, reflection. The aim of the work is to theoretically substantiate the problem of insufficient digital literacy of a foreign language teacher during a pandemic and to identify ways to increase the readiness of teachers to use digital technologies in the educational process. The purpose of this article was to identify the pedagogical and psychological reasons that hinder the development of communicative and digital competencies of participants in the educational pro cess in foreign language classes in this era. To solve the problem, advanced training courses for teachers were organized, followed by the creation of educational content. The methods used include a personal-activity approach that allows you to reveal the capabilities of a person in the process of professional activity; a competence-based approach that develops the ability to act taking into account the acquired knowledge and skills; a situational approach that requires productive resolution of problems in the current situation. The result of the developed methodology is the solution of educational and professional tasks by the teacher in a certain problem situation on the basis of the acquired competencies. The obtained results can be applied not only in higher professional education, but also in the preparation of graduates of secondary specialized educational institutions.
