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

Abstract

The article is devoted to the question of the connection of education with education in the teaching of a foreign language. Pedagogical practice today is acutely aware of the lack of educational orientation in various academic subjects. Society, in particular education, is faced with the task of educating a generation of people who are able to think independently, make vital decisions, and objectively assess various situations. In the paper, the author proposes to integrate educational aspects in foreign language classes with the help of problem-based learning and roleplaying. The experience of using forms and methods of active learning has shown that with their help, a number of educational tasks are solved quite effectively: the formation of not only cognitive, but also professional motives and interests; the education of a specialist's systemic thinking, including a holistic understanding of not only nature and society, but also himself, his place in the world; the education of a responsible attitude to business, assimilation of social values of society. In the process of implementing experimental work, students were offered various types of tasks in foreign language classes, which contained questions and problems requiring solutions. The developed tasks affected different spheres of society, which contributed to the development of social qualities of the individual and the civic position of future engineers. At the same time, a double task was solved: the search for a solution to the problem took place in a foreign language and at the same time the author's position of the students was formed. In general, the analysis of the achieved results showed a positive effect of the use of problem-based learning and role-playing for educational purposes in foreign language classes.
