Digitalization affects all sectors of human activity, and education is not left aside. Internet technologies influence the educational process, offering more efficient and modern methods of teaching than traditional ones. The traditional model of language learning needs to be updated in the context of digitalization. It is necessary to clearly understand how to use Internet resources in language learning to achieve high results.
The purpose of our study was to consider the Internet resources and mobile applications for learning Chinese, which help to increase the motivation of students, offering them a variety of modern tasks, as well as immersion in the atmosphere of foreign language communication. Among the reviewed resources we have identified the most effective one’s: applications, cards, reference books, online dictionaries. Also, all the resources are systematized according to the type of speech activity. We have conducted a survey among the students of the Faculty of Philology, studying the language as a second foreign language. The students of the 2-4th year of education have selected the most effective, in their opinion, mobile applications that they use while studying Chinese: “Pleco”, “ChineseSkill”, “Quizlet”. We note that the students’ use of Internet resources contributes to its better assimilation and facilitates the process of memorization.
Thus, the study shows that the positive effect of using the currently existing modern Internet resources and mobile applications for the study of the Chinese language is manifested in the high level of motivation of students to learn the language, as well as in the successful mastery of the language material.
