Pedagogical and Methodological Aspects of Distance Learning in the System of Teaching Foreign Languages to University Students // Education, Philology, Literature: the Main Factors in the Development of the Outlook of a Child and an Adult

Abstract

Constant changes occurring in the world contribute to the accelerated modernisation of educational approaches and the learning system as a whole, the development of an integrative set of methods for teaching foreign languages and, as a consequence, the emergence of the terms "distance learning" (DL) and "online learning" (OL) or "eLearning". DL is a modern reality, without which education of the XXI century is unthinkable, but it should be noted that it can only be a part of or a supplement to the traditional form of education of a modern student. Despite the popularity and general approval of this type of learning, all students agree that OL cannot replace "live" communication between a teacher and a student in a foreign language, create an atmosphere of the academic environment, replace the team and friendly communication between students. The task of DL is only to complement and expand the possibilities of classical university education.
