Digital tools in foreign languages training in order to student’s polylingual personality formation
Introduction: this article aims to analyze the use of digital tools in foreign languages training. The aim of the study is to identify the pedagogical potentialities of using Massive Online Open Course (MOOCs) in foreign languages training in order to student’s polylingual personality formation in non-linguistic universities. Materials and Methods: the theoretical framework is based on professionally oriented foreign languages training of students and the role of MOOCs in this development. We adopt a methodology based on two approaches: the reflective observation of the students educational activities in foreign languages training, developed on the basis of the use of MOOCs, and analysis of the content of MOOCs intended for professionally oriented foreign languages training of non-linguistic universities students (for example, Mohamed Lamine Debaghine University, Mordovian State Pedagogical University, Russian State Agrarian University - Moscow Timiryazev Agricultural Academy). Results: the results show that MOOCs are involved in the formation of the students polylingual personality in non-linguistic universities, using them as teaching tools that are successfully integrated into foreign languages training. Discussion and Conclusions: the problem of the formation of the students polylingual personality in nonlinguistic universities is relevant and significant. The use of digital tools, in particular MOOCs, is aimed at developing the creative individual abilities of students, meeting their needs in improving the level of foreign language proficiency, organizing and planning the time allotted for foreign language learning.
