Journal Title: Молодь і ринок - Year 2018, Vol 162, Issue 7
Abstract
The article considers the definition of the motivation as the formed interest of students to receive significant achievements on the subject as a result of the professional activity of the teacher. It also underlines the motivation external and internal constituents and distinguishes, basing on the data of the questioning, and points out at those of them which play the main part in the process of learning foreign languages by the university students. It was found out that the improving of the career prospects and need to communicate easily with people from the foreign countries are the leading internal motives for young people today. The assessment and avoidance of troubles at the university, in spite of being the leading external motivators of the education system, play the least role for the questioned groups of students. These facts have to obviously influence on the choice of methods of teaching at high school in contemporary situation. The article describes the aspects of providing language learning at the non-linguistic higher educational institutions using the educational platform Moodle. The philosophical approach of the platform is guided by social constructionist pedagogy. From a constructivist point of view, people actively “construct” new knowledge as they interact with their environment. At the same time constructionism asserts that learning is particularly effective when building and presenting something for others to experience. The paper also presents the most fruitful types of activities using by the teachers working with Moodle, which help achieve better results of the English learning process. The author considers such appropriate activities for teaching English using the next Moodle resources as Glossary, Forum and Chat. Hot Potato, as an external resource, is presented as an extremely useful one for constructing the interactive tasks and getting the better results of the learning process.
