ADVANTAGES OF USING MOODLE PLATFORM IN TEACHING «ENGLISH FOR PROFESSIONAL COMMUNICATION»

Abstract

The ability to communicate in other languages is becoming an integral part of professional competence of any specialist, no matter of his future field of work. With changing requirements to specialist training there is a need to reconsider the methods and approaches to teaching foreign languages to nonlinguistic students. Teaching staff should address resources that are able to accumulate much information, try to be flexible in choice and mobile for constant upgrading. An example of such resources in use is Moodle. This refers to a Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) and is one of the most effective learning tools. Moodle supports a learning model where a tutor acts as a course moderator. The platform provides an individual approach to each student by creating a virtual environment for group collaboration. The implementing the interactive platform Moodle into the process of teaching foreign languages is a rather helpful tool for teachers while it is controlled by teachers, and makes teaching staff lives easier, having one central location accessible anywhere; with a massive array of tools for aiding the delivery, marking and providing feedback for all courses. Because of its ease of use, Moodle is excellent for distance learning, but it is really designed to work best along with face to face classroom teaching. It enables students to learn more independently – that is, have more control over their learning – and also more co-operatively – which means they can fulfill some of the tasks together.
