INVESTIGATION OF READINESS OF STUDENTS OF NON-LINGUISTIC SPECIALITIES TO USE NETWORK RESOURCES WHEN STUDYING FOREIGN LANGUAGES

Introduction: In the article the authors address the issue of increasing the motivation to learn a foreign language; using new methods in the learning process. One of the main tasks of the 21st century is to improve the quality of education; including higher education. In addition; the Russian education must meet international standards. This means that there must be an exchange of knowledge; mobility of students and teachers; participation of students in various international projects. Unfortunately; currently developed language education programs for non-linguistic areas do not fully reflect the organization of teaching foreign languages and the role of practical realization of linguoculture as one of the main factors in the education and upbringing of students of non-linguistic specialties. To develop cognitive activity in modern education; it is necessary to use methods that would make the students interested in gaining knowledge. Currently; there are various methods of teaching foreign languages: audio-lingual; the method of "Silent Way"; the method of suggestion; methods using Internet resources (hotlist; multimedia scrapbook; trick hunt; sample sampler; web quest).

Materials and methods: The study was conducted on the basis of the Faculty of Management and Social and Technical Services of Nizhny Novgorod State Pedagogical University named after K. Minin. The study involved students from 1 to 3 courses; both in full-time and part-time studies of non-linguistic specialties. The methods of investigation were determined by the tasks of the problem being solved. We used empirical methods (questionnaire); statistical methods (qualitative and quantitative analysis of results).

Results of the study: The conducted research has allowed to reveal the frequency of use of the Internet; the most popular Internet resources; the purpose of using Internet resources; the amount of time to use Internet resources; degree of interest in learning a foreign language using network resources by students of non-linguistic specialties.

Discussion and conclusions: The use of network resources in the study of a foreign language by students of non-linguistic directions is one of the effective methods of teaching. The use of this method of training gives a number of advantages: students will be able to fulfill assignments in a foreign language at a time when it is convenient for them (especially for students studying by correspondence courses); stimulates students to develop cognitive activity; interaction between the teacher and students is more rapid; independent learning ceases to be passive.
