Usmanova T.A. PROFESSIONALLY ORIENTED TEACHING OF FOREIGN LANGUAGE WRITTEN COMMUNICATION USING DISTANCE LEARNING TECHNOLOGIESFor effective learning a foreign language, it is necessary to provide the proper volumes of students’ in-class and out-of-class study. In the case of non-linguistic universities a tight educational schedule does not allow to assign an enough amount of in-class hours, which is compensated by the organization of students’ self-study. As a result, the achievement of the required level of foreign language learning, in particular, mastering foreign language written communication by students of 1–2 courses of non-linguistic universities, largely depends on the effectiveness of their individual learning activities.
As one of the promising means of solving this problem, we can consider distance learning technologies, taking into account the role of written speech when communicating in modern conditions. For example, for lawyers this type of speech activity is one of the main tools of work because it is required to log all points and outcomes of legal relationships. Therefore the appropriate research objective should be a theoretical justification and development of a methodology for professionally oriented teaching of foreign language writing with use of distance learning technologies. At the same time one of the applied aspects of the task is to create a structure of the distance learning course, and to select the required set of studying tools that Web 2.0 offers us today.
Modern information and educational environment provides wide opportunities for the effective organization of self-study activities of students of non-linguistic universities in the foreign language learning. Consequently, when learning foreign language writing for professional purposes, the teaching methodology can be built on the basis of the integration of full-time and distance forms of education.Key words: foreign language written speech, teaching written communication, distance learning, distance learning technologies.
