The need for using distance learning technologies is one of the main features of modern situation in education, which results from the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. The relevance of the research is caused by the need for studying distance learning resources in teaching foreign languages. In case of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, use of online technologies has become a part of the university lecturers’ work process, including foreign languages teachers. This study aims to examine and analyze pros and cons of online testing, as well as the results of Online Test Pad application, which was used as a tool in online testing. The methods we applied involved the study of theoretical works on the problems of distance learning and testing, as well as some empirical methods including observation and analysis of online testing results. The article gives examples of online assignments used in teaching English. Further research is needed to better understand Online Test Pad potential in university teaching of foreign languages. |
