Abstract
Background. The integration of digital technologies into the educational process set the task of identifying their potential in foreign language training, necessary for effective interaction of university graduates in the global information space. Using the example of teaching Chinese to linguistics students the authors identify the didactic potential of modern digital technologies, which is manifested in the improvement of lexical competence, the development of speech skills, and increased motivation of students.
Purpose. Revealing the didactic potential of digital instruments in the formation of the lexical competence of students-linguists studying Chinese.
Materials and methods. The article is based on the integration of content-analysis of national and foreign pedagogical and linguo-didactic scientific works, analysis of advanced pedagogical experience and empirical methods, including observation, survey, and experiential learning. Mathematical methods were used to track the formation of students' linguistic competence.
Results. Modernization of foreign language education in the university actualises the appeal of computer linguodidactics to the study of the potential of digital technologies in the development of students’ foreign language communicative competence. In university education digital technologies are becoming an innovative tool for foreign language education, stimulating the development of communicative, cognitive, and interactive skills, increasing motivation, activity, and independence of students in the educational process. An automated verification system and feedback provide instant checking of the results which allows quickly identify mistakes and correct them. Interactive whiteboard Miro and Wordwall platform are the tools for visualizing foreign language vocabulary, speeding up memorization of the word’s form, meaning and contextual usage of words interactively. Subtitling helps understand the grammatical and pragmatic features of the language and develop auditive skills. The use of digital technologies in forming lexical competence of Chinese language students confirms their potential in forming language skills and personalisation of linguistic education, allowing to adapt a task to every students level and their needs, offering flexibility in choosing the pace and form of learning. With proper use, digital technologies become a universal methodological resource for effective learning of a foreign language.
