Abstract
In the article the effectiveness of active methods in teaching foreign languages is analised. The use of new case technologies in teaching foreign languages helps to realize the concept of person-oriented learning. Case technologies increase the level of knowledge of a foreign language promoting the educational motivation, developing creative thinking and the ability to hold a debate and to learn to work as a team. Case study method makes learning foreign languages more meaningful, interesting and effective. It helps to make the educational process closer to reality this motivating students and can be applied not only as a teaching method for all forms of education but also as a means of assessment. Students learn best when incentives for learning satisfy their own motives. Some of the needs are the need to learn something in order to complete a particular task or activity, the need to seek new experiences, the need to perfect skills, the need to overcome challenges, the need to become competent, the need to succeed and do well, the need to feel involved and to interact with other people. Satisfying such needs rewards sustain learning more effectively. Students learn by doing, making, writing, designing, creating, solving. Passivity dampens student’s motivation and curiosity. A teacher’s enthusiasm is a crucial factor in student motivation. The routine must be broken by incorporating a variety of teaching activities and methods: role play, debates, brainstorming, discussion, demonstrations, audiovisual presentations, guest speakers, or small group work. Among them – case studies which have great influence on individuality of a student stressing developmental factors in relation to environment. Cases can be gleaned from newspapers, magazine articles, journal reports, own experience, and the experiences of professionals and practitioners in the field. Case studies give students a chance to apply what they are learning. A good case poses a challenging problem. In language classes students can play the role of people in everyday situations. They are required to analyse the prescribed cases and present their own interpretations or solutions. The method of case is innovative in the foreign languages teaching process. Its qualitative value is in the fact that it teaches students in a foreign language and forms skills of individual thinking in specific speech situations.
