Abstract

The rapid development of computer technologies, their introduction into almost all spheres of human activity contributed to the emergence of a completely new environment – virtual. The article presents the methodology of working with the use of the Espace virtuel training platform in French language classes at a pedagogical university. The concepts of virtual educational environment, learning platform, educational space are disclosed, the features of working on the Moodle platform used by teachers of the FSBEI VO «OmSPU» are presented, and the stages of working on the virtual online platform Espace virtuel are described in detail. At the organizational stage, students get acquainted with the Espace virtuel platform, at the content stage, students work with the materials presented on the platform. At the first two stages, the teacher helps students to work with the platform materials and acts as a consultant. At the reflexive stage, students analyze, introspect and evaluate their activities, the teacher at this stage acts as an expert. The Espace virtuel platform is an integral part of the educational process and is used by teachers of the French Language Department of the FSBEI at «OmSPU» when teaching students all types and aspects of speech activity in French. The results of the study confirm that when working on this platform, first-year students most successfully develop basic language and speech skills and abilities, and a teacher using the Espace virtuel platform can provide personalized feedback, track the results of students’ mastering the curriculum and, in case of gaps, offer an adjustment program.
