UDC 372.881.111.1 BBK 74.268.19

Trubina Z. I.

Today, intellectually and creatively developed professionals who are ready to work in a constantly changing society are highly demanded.

Foreign language lessons provide a great opportunity for the education of creative students, due to the fact that they have a communicative and research focus, that provide students with the ability of self-searching and application of new knowledge, and also shape the experience of creative activity.

Choosing new methods of teaching a foreign language and introducing them in their practical work, teachers should take into account their features to achieve better results. Literature analysis revealed the following conditions: individual approach to students; favorable climate in the classroom, without criticism that will be the basis for independence of students’ judgment; careful selection of educational material (especially texts) that meets students’ interests; systematic use of active methods of teaching foreign languages.

Such teaching methods like creative exercises and laboratories, projects and gaming techniques, and also the use of modern information technologies can be considered as a priority in teaching foreign languages. These methods are aimed at active intellectual and creative activity, formation of skills of self-organization, as they are based on the problematic situations that students may encounter in their daily lives.

Positive emotions caused by such methods of study contribute to students’ cognitive, communicative and creative activity, which in turn effectively influence the process of learning foreign languages.

Keywords: foreign language; creative thinking; methods of teaching.

E-LEARNINGSTRATEGIE IM FACH GERMANISTIK: DIDAKTISCHE MÖGLICHKEITEN UND PERSPEKTIVEN DES PHONETIKUNTERRICHTS*

Eine schlechte Aussprache kann auch gute Fremdsprachenkenntnisse zunichte machen und die Rede für den Gesprächspartner ganz unverständlich machen. Im Zusammenhang mit der Streichung der Unterrichtsstunden zum Studium der Phonetik in den gegenwärtigen Studienprogrammen für Fremdsprachenstudium (oder sogar mit dem vollkommenen Fehlen dieses Unterrichtsfaches), können diese Verluste durch neue, innovative Methoden des Fremdsprachenunterrichts wieder gutgemacht werden, zum Beispiel durch LMS Moodle. Dieser Artikel ist das Ergebnis der Erfahrung, die bei der Anwendung eines solchen Kurses gewonnen wurde.

Schlüsselwörter: Germanistik, Deutschunterricht, Phonetik, Netzbegleitung, Distanzunterricht**
