during self-preparation. The program
is very simple and accessible, it is enough to
enter key terms - and the program immediately "gives out" their explanation or
definition and a whole system of problematic tasks of the type: a cross-selection task,
determining the truthfulness or falsity of a statement, and the like. The program also
makes it possible to track the progress of students online; check the level of
vocabulary assimilation in the form of an interactive game (the teacher provides an
access key via the link www.quizlet.live ). Created Quizlet tasks allow you to include
photos, translation and interpretation in them. The pace of quizzes and tests is
regulated by the introduction of a time limit for each task.
A successful resource for creating interactive learning games, diagrams, quizzes is
ClassTools, which allows teachers and students to create interactive Flash diagrams for
effective presentations, project protection, presentation of diagrams, analytical messages,
event planning, and the like. Registration is not required to get started.
In turn, the Socrative educational platform is
used to test the acquired
knowledge. The platform offers interactive templates for various tests and tasks that
need to be filled with relevant material. A ready-made test gives an instant
opportunity to remotely check the results of students' assignments. The advantage of
this program is that it automatically sends a report on the result of the test to the
teacher's email. This feature significantly reduces the time for checking and
evaluating test tasks; the teacher can control the allotted time to complete the test,
track progress and analyze the mistakes made. The
program is available for
smartphones, computers, laptops.
With the help of the Wordle program, collages are created with thematically
related words that help students formulate the definition of a key concept. So, the
teacher selects the necessary terms of the topic, for example: migration, illegal
immigration,
human trafficking, border crossing, introduces a definition to the
program and receives a collage, according to which students study definitions using
collage words like: "Illegal immigration is the migration of people across national
borders in a way that violates the immigration laws of the destination country" or
"Human trafficking is the recruitment, transportation or transfer of persons by means
of the threat or use of force or abduction, fraud, deception,
abuse of power for the
purpose of exploitation"
And although such exercises are not communicative, they play an important
role in mastering the phonetic and semantic image of lexical units, in understanding
concepts, the general context of a communicative situation; they allow you to better
assimilate the studied vocabulary and often take the place of external supports for
solving problem situations (hereinafter PS). The knowledge gained through the use of
interactive technologies based on Internet platforms explains both the facts and
concepts that ensure the implementation of the necessary actions to solve the PS and
make a rational decision, as well
as the content of expressions, sentences, texts that
are meaningfully associated with the PS.
The resource provides users with methodological materials (interactive exercises,
communication tools and the ability to track progress) and motivational tools.

to learning.
