Today, in the conditions associated with the global processes of the COVID-19 pandemic, universities are forced to adjust and adapt to the changes occurring in the system of higher education. The relevance of this study is dictated by the objective need to move to a combined form of working with students – blended learning. Blended learning serves as a form of work to overcome the current crisis, creating conditions for the implementation of student-centered learning. The purpose of this study is to consider the possibilities of blended learning models for foreign language students. The paper gives a brief overview of blended learning models; and justifies the choice of an extended virtual model as a form of organizing foreign language learning for technical students. The main research methods were empirical methods which included observation of the students’ learning activities process, both in the classroom and online; analysis of the implementing possibilities of the ‟Foreign Language” discipline program in a blended format; conducting practical classes in a blended, updated form for students. The paper provides examples of practical assignments for students, determines the pedagogical potential of the model and draws conclusions about the prospects for further use of this format of teaching. |
