THE RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN TRADITIONAL MEANS OF CONTROL AND PEDAGOGICAL MONITORING IN THE SYSTEM OF FOREIGN LANGUAGE EDUCATION IN A HIGH SCHOOL // Tomsk State Pedagogical University Bulletin. 2014. Issue 3 (144). P. 117-121

The article deals with an important issue in the sphere of teaching foreign languages – the problem of controlling in the system of foreign language education in high school. Having examined traditional forms of control we offer an alternative – pedagogical monitoring, that enables a teacher to get up to date information, to adjust the learning activities of students, to develop their independence and autonomy. Multifunctional nature of the pedagogical monitoring was highlighted, it was suggested that monitoring is not just a way to test and measure educational progress, but one of the efficient ways to organize the learning process.

BLENDED LEARNING IN HIGHER EDUCATION // Tomsk State Pedagogical University Bulletin. 2020. Issue 1 (207). P. 86-93

Introduction. The article discusses the technology of blended learning, combining the advantages of traditional classroom and e-learning, ensuring the development of the student as a subject of self-educational activity and shaping his readiness for self-development in the future. Aim and objectives. The aim of the article is to review and analyze the features and key characteristics of “blended learning” technology, to study the models for its implementation in the educational process, as well as to describe the experience of using blended learning in the process of teaching Foreign Language. Material and methods. The methods of theoretical analysis were used: the study and analysis of psychological, pedagogical and scientific-methodical literature and the Internet resources on the problem of research, the study of foreign experience in the use of blended learning in the educational process, as well as the reflection of the educational activities of the author of this article. Results and discussion. The models and approaches of introducing blended learning into the educational process are described. Key characteristics of blended learning are highlighted: individualization of the educational process, productive independent work, the rational use of class time, the active use of modern information and communication technologies, etc. The characteristics of the interaction of subjects (teacher, students, and electronic educational resources) and the roles they implement in the blended learning model are given. Electronic resources for the introduction of blended learning in educational practice (learning management systems, massive open online courses, Google for Education cloud services) are considered. The experience of using blended learning technology in the teaching of the discipline “Foreign Language” is described. The educational process was built in accordance with the Flipped Classroom technology, which is implemented in the form of a three-stage educational model - independent pre-class work (watching video lectures in order to familiarize yourself with the educational information before the lesson, completing tasks to verify understanding of the material watched), class work (active / creative types of educational activity) and post-graduate work (independent generalization of the studied educational material). Conclusion. It is concluded that the use of the blended learning model results in an increase in the quality of students’ knowledge and the development of their ability to learn independently.

The use of artificial intelligence technologies in teaching foreign languages in higher education // Tomsk State Pedagogical University Bulletin. 2025. Issue 2 (238). P. 105-115

Technologies based on artificial intelligence (AI) have the potential to enhance different elements of the English as a Foreign Language educational process and streamline the daily tasks of a foreign language teacher in higher education settings. The objective of the article is to examine the educational value, benefits, and drawbacks of utilizing AI in teaching English as a Foreign Language within higher education contexts. Theoretical analysis methods were employed, including reviewing and examining scientific-methodological literature, along with Internet resources related to the research problem. Additionally, the educational practices of the author of this article were reflected upon. The educational value of AI technologies within the framework of EFL teaching are highlighted: creating personalized educational trajectories, ensuring interactivity of the educational process, facilitating independent work of students, automating control and evaluation procedures, increasing involvement in the educational process. The utilization of various AI platforms (including image generation platforms, chatbots, and specialized platforms for foreign language instructors) is outlined. A survey was carried out among educators at SPbPU to assess their attitudes and willingness to incorporate AI technologies into the teaching process. The conclusion drawn is that implementing artificial intelligence-based applications and tools within EFL education enhances the interactivity of the learning process, boosts student engagement, and streamlines the tasks of a foreign language educator. However, it is highlighted that enhancing the digital skills of educators is crucial for the effective and systemic incorporation of artificial intelligence into educational methodologies.
