Abstract
Due to the formation of a new generation, the approaches and methods of teaching also evolved. The aim of our research is to disclose peculiar features of the Generation Z, generation that is getting its degree at higher educational institutions in Ukraine, and to call attention to a relatively new function of an educator – teacher as an instructor. Specifically, we aim to discover appropriate methods for teaching English to the new generation. In order to define Generation Z, we turned to the following researchers: Linda Nilson, Kaylene C. Williams and Robert A. Page, Eunjung Grace Oh and Thomas C. Reeves. Taking into account recent historical events, social processes and cultural trends in Ukraine, we define Generation Z as socially engaged, self-confident and empowered. Information Age made them high-tech driven, actively involved in social media, ready for self-education and self-development. They are inclined to study independently and to develop their skills using various digi- tal resources. Unfortunately, self-education process among university representatives of Generation Z shows little effectiveness due to lack of particular instructions and assistance from their teachers. We defined following methods to improve independent studying among students: social media as a communication tool, usage of computer programs and online resources, culture of teamwork and project work.
