using distance technologies in teaching English to gifted
students based on the strategy of expanding learning.

Introduction:
In the era of global informatization and
technocratization, employers are interested in a highly
qualified specialist with fundamental knowledge of the
scientific, technical and economic foundations of
production, the basic principles of functioning of
modern technological machines. At the same time, he
must demonstrate literacy, logical speech, allowing him
to consistently and reasonably defend his point of view,
the ability to work in a team, establish contacts with the
social environment, potential clients, investors. This in
turn leads to the development of socio-economic,
scientific and technical cooperation with foreign
partners. In this context, higher education is called upon
to form a specialist who is competent not only in a
professional sense, but also in terms of implementing
fruitful communication with representatives of other
cultures
based
on
dialogue
and
reasonable
compromise. At the current stage of development of
higher professional education, a foreign language is
considered a mandatory component professional
training of graduates and as an important prerequisite
for successful human activity in the future.
The introduction of innovative educational technologies
and modern technical means into the educational
process increases the level and quality of foreign
language training of engineering specialists, opens up

modern universal forms of professional education
focused on the individual needs of each student and
his specialization. One of these forms is distance
learning, during which students and the teacher are
spatially removed from each other, but at the same
time they are in constant interaction, organized with
the help of special techniques for constructing a
course, trainers, simulators, forms of control,
electronic testing systems, etc. This form of training
has its own distinctive characteristics: interactive
interaction of students and teachers during training;
the presence of special materials intended for distance
learning within a specific academic discipline; the
predominance of self-control over control by the
teacher. The organizational forms of distance learning
in the process of mastering a foreign language are:
lectures, practical training sessions, consultations,
course and diploma projects. One of the main forms of
obtaining knowledge, in this case, is independent
work, designed to become a way of forming
professional independence, readiness of the future
specialist for self-education and continuous learning in
the conditions of rapid updating of knowledge.
In the distance learning system, educational activities
are carried out mainly through information
technologies, which contribute to the assimilation of a
much larger amount of material, qualitatively change
control over the activities of students, while ensuring
flexibility in managing the educational process.
Information and communication technologies also
make it possible to organize all educational and
methodological material and use it in foreign language
classes, taking into account the differences in the rate
of knowledge acquisition by students. Of all the variety
of existing software packages for creating distance
learning courses and websites, the Moodle system is of
interest in the context of the stated problem. Its
implementation
allows
individualizing
and
differentiating the process of mastering reading,
listening, speaking and writing skills by students,
simulating and modeling the processes or phenomena
being studied; developing the ability to make optimal
decisions in problem situations, visualizing educational
information, monitoring with error diagnostics and
feedback; implementing self-monitoring and self-
correction of educational activities; optimizing study
time by performing labor-intensive routine work with
counting and calculations on a computer. Moodle
provides the ability to design, create and subsequently
manage various resources of the information and
educational environment. The main content of the
course in the Moodle system is divided into modules:
a zero module, which includes elements common to
the entire course, and thematic modules. The number
and content of thematic modules is modified depending
on the course. When developing educational and
methodological support for distance courses, it is
necessary to plan the creation of educational complexes
that make it possible to support the activities of
students at all stages
–
from familiarization with
theoretical material (zero module) to solving all kinds of
professionally oriented problems. A specially developed
educational and methodological complex based on the
Moodle system should provide a full set of tools that
allow individual training, provide all the necessary
information support in accordance with the curricula, a
system of final control measures, testing, self-testing,
etc.
Various types of educational and methodological
support for distance learning can be presented in four
blocks. The first block includes components whose main
purpose is to familiarize with the theoretical material
for the relevant course (textbooks in printed or
electronic form, audio and video materials). The first
block also includes methodological recommendations
for students and teachers. The second block of
educational and methodological support is aimed at
understanding and consolidating the theoretical
material, monitoring knowledge on the topic covered.
The component composition of this block is electronic
multimedia textbooks on CD ROM or on the Internet,
software and information systems for computer training
and knowledge monitoring. They help to create
communicative situations, automate language and
speech actions; allow you to practice all types of speech
activity and combine them in various combinations;
contribute to the implementation of an individual
approach and intensification of independent work of
students. The third block, designed to form and develop
practical skills, abilities, intuition of students, their
creative abilities, accumulation of professional
experience, may include remote access workshops,
computer simulators. The fourth block contains
packages of applied programs, scientific research, etc.
They can be used by students to solve various problems
on the subject of the complex, arising, for example,
during course or diploma design. The use of distance
learning in the course of foreign language training of a
future specialist not only facilitates access to
information and opens up opportunities for variability
of educational activities, its differentiation and
individualization, but also allows for a new way of
organizing the interaction of all subjects of training,
building an education system in which the student is an
active and equal participant in educational activities.
However, due to the specifics of the work on teaching
foreign language communication, aimed at forming
communication skills and abilities in conditions as close

as possible to the professional activities of future
specialists, distance learning of a foreign language
cannot completely replace live (“face to face”)
interaction between a student and a teacher.
In our opinion, the most rational is the combined use
of distance learning and traditional practical classes in
the classroom.
