THE USE OF MULTIMEDIA IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE TEACHING
Currently, knowledge of a foreign language acts not only as a means of communication, but also as an indicator of professional and communicative competence. Mastering the language is an introduction to another culture, interiorizing new sociocultural context; therefore, the basis for teaching a foreign language should be not only memorization of information, but also the active participation of students in obtaining knowledge and the formation of their ability to independent activities. Interactive teaching strategies that promote effective interaction between students and the teacher are particularly relevant in the modern world of active distance learning. The article aims to summarize new approaches to foreign language teaching and to analyze some electronic educational resources that contribute to successful learning in an era of rapid development of the information educational environment, taking into account the socio-psychological characteristics of the new generation. Adaptation of teaching methods to the needs of today’s students promotes their interest and involves them in the learning process, increasing its effectiveness. By using innovative multimedia tools, we can increase students’ motivation in learning foreign languages and make lessons visual. The use of sites, applications and podcasts is becoming increasingly important in learning a foreign language, and therefore multichannel knowledge sharing appears as a way to modernize the educational space.
