THE USE OF E-LEARNING TECHNIQUE TO IMPROVE THE QUALITY OF EDUCATION OF UNIVERSITY CORRESPONDENCE STUDENTS
https://doi.org/10.15372/PEMW20180115
Abstract
The transition to the modern educational paradigm suggests e-learning techniques implementation for both full-time and correspondence students in order to improve the quality of foreign language teaching. Nowadays Russian as well as foreign researchers draw a conclusion that the use of e-learning techniques improves learning results, helps to promote learner’s autonomy and gradually becomes an indispensable tool of foreign language teaching. Concerning foreign language teaching to correspondence students it is necessary to identify if the students themselves are knowledgeable about international standards of language learning and are ready to use CEFR level system assessment. Another issue worth noting is how the use of e-learning techniques can influence the students’ learning results. As a part of the research an experiment was set up to identify the CEFR level of correspondence students as well as the students’ ability and readiness to work on their own with the electronic component of the course. In conclusion, the authors highlight that without extrinsic motivation self-motivation (intrinsic motivation) taken separately is an insufficient factor for effective implementation of e-learning techniques as a way of improving the quality of foreign language education of correspondence students.
