Journal Title: The Advanced Science Journal - Year 2010, Vol 2010, Issue 3
Abstract
With dramatic difference in initial language competences of technical university students and limited curriculum hours allocated for mastering foreign language every effort needs to be made to perfect language teaching techniques, organize effectively extra-curriculum work of language learners, use modern information technology so that each student could make the most of studies. Use of differentiation approach and gradual selection of learners upon completion of training modules creates favorable academic and psychological premises for studies, motivates students to learn faster in a more optimal and effective way. First module is obligatory and intended for all students, second - for 20% and third one – for 5% of learners. Multimedia teaching tools contribute greatly to the successful solution of this problem providing challenging and simultaneously feasible learning, systematic and regular progress checking, creating atmosphere encouraging learners with low language competence to learn dynamically with more efficiency. Computer-assisted language learning is applicable for self-study in conjunction with classroom training and gives students an opportunity to work at their own pace. Language tutor has an opportunity to control each student’s workplace through the Remote Administrator, effectively check, evaluate and promptly interfere into the individual student’s learning when it is appropriate. Multimedia programs help students to master their pronunciation listening to the speech of native speaker, recording/playing back their own voices, perfecting pronunciation with the help of the visual feedback. By choosing various levels of complexity learners reinforce their vocabulary, grammar, listening and speaking skills in a lively interactive way. The next step is transfer from computer–assisted teaching courses with simulated situations, regular feedback and self-checking to real situation recordings. With the help of computer any fragment can be used for translating, discussing, role playing, searching additional information on topic in Internet, etc.
