Computer Linguodidactics in the System of Innovative Foreign Language Teaching

Abstract

Technology-based foreign language teaching has provided many effective strategies in the learning process. The article describes the main achievements of computer linguodidactics as a field of science that studies the theory and practice of using computer and network technologies in teaching foreign languages, analyzes the experience of implementing various forms and means of modern information technology in the practice of teaching foreign languages and identifies ways to use them effectively in order to optimize the learning process. It is noted that computer linguodidactics as an innovative field is at the stage of theoretical and practical study by the researchers from many countries around the world, including domestic scientists. By its nature, the methodology of teaching foreign languages is interested in using multimedia and information properties of information and computer technology, because these qualities can help implement the basic principles of didactics, namely: clarity, accessibility, individuality, awareness, activity. Due to the rapid development of multimedia and the spread of the Internet, we can talk about a new approach to creating a computer learning environment, which suggests the systematic and integrated use of carefully selected authentic and educational materials, applications and computer programming tools. The possibility of using a computer during practical classes in a foreign language class is due to the specifics of this discipline. Educational computer programs can be used as simulators that help organize the individual work of students, creating the environment in which they independently form their knowledge. A characteristic feature of the current stage of computer linguodidactics development is the closest possible integration of computer and traditional learning. The article emphasizes that a modern foreign language teacher must not only have professional knowledge of the subject, but also be deeply aware of the role of computers, network and telecommunication technologies in language teaching.
