PROBLEMS OF TEACHING THE WRITTEN SIDE OF SPEECH IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE CLASSES IN MODERN CONDITIONS

Abstract

The article talks about the difficulties of teaching writing to students of non-linguistic universities in foreign language classes in the context of digitalization of education. The reasons for the decrease in students’ interest in writing are revealed by means of questionnaires, interviews and analysis of completed tasks within the framework of the studied discipline. The necessity of developing written speech by hand in solving educational and professional tasks in foreign language classes is substantiated. The advantages and disadvantages of the impact of digitalization of society on the educational process are shown.

Based on an integrated learning approach, a series of training exercises in French and German is being created to improve writing skills. In order to trace the process of developing written literacy among students of technical specialties, criteria, indicators and methods of diagnosing this phenomenon are being developed. The main criteria include: cognitive, activity-based and reflexive. Based on the selected criteria, the levels of formation of writing skills are determined: minimal, productive, high. The result of this study is the approbation of the algorithm of a series of exercises, arguing for the positive dynamics of the development of students’ written speech. The article can be useful for teachers of a foreign language, both higher educational institutions and secondary specialized ones.
