The problem setting. Today, the educational process is being reformed in institutions of higher education (IHE) of Ukraine in accordance with European requirements for the quality of education: ensuring the informatization of the educational space, integration processes, establishing cooperation between Ukrainian and European institutions of higher education in the field of educational and scientific activities, implementing international student exchange, providing opportunities obtaining a second higher education, studying at master's programs abroad.
Digitization in the teaching of foreign languages is a process that is gaining momentum, therefore the task of all institutions of higher education in Ukraine is to prepare future specialists for the active and competent use of the achievements of the modern digital world, to teach how to establish effective digital cooperation both with students and with colleagues, to develop themselves and students using digital technologies and resources.
Analysis of recent studies and publications. It is worth noting that the achievements are quite significant and are constantly updated in accordance with modern educational trends in higher education. Since a foreign language occupies a dominant position in education, its acquisition and active application in professional activities through the use of innovative methods and technologies is a priority direction. During the investigation of the selected issues, the works of a number of scientists have been used: N. Bilan, Yu. Bilenka, H. Bushko, O. Vasiukovych, T. Harbuz, N. Hostishcheva, H. Dranenko, A. Kovalenko, M. Kudria,
L. Kulykova, T. Melnikova, Yu. Mosina, I. Novak, O. Osova, T. Riabukha, A. Solomakha, T. Kharchenko, T. Sharhun.
The purpose of the article. The purpose of the article is to consider and characterize innovative methods and technologies for teaching foreign languages in institutions of higher education.
Presentation of the main material of the research. The formation of digital competence of students taking into account the specifics of the discipline "Foreign Language" is expedient, and the results are effective. It is important to analyze the experience of implementing various components in institutions of higher education in Ukraine, conduct scientific and practical discussions with lecturers of foreign languages at
138 different educational levels, and create scientific and methodological recommendations that will allow unifying the components of digital competence of future specialists [9]. In the context of the reform of higher education, there also should be changes in the technological support of teaching foreign languages. Language education itself is also gradually being modernized through the introduction of a modular rating of the foreign language teaching system, interdisciplinary integration, democratization, and economization of education [5].
The choice of methods depends on a number of conditions: the specifics of the content of the educational material, the general tasks of training future specialists, the time during which the student has to study this discipline, and the peculiarities of the composition of the students. High-quality language training of students is impossible without the use of modern educational technologies. The innovative forms of education can be divided into two groups: innovative forms of education based on the Internet and computer technologies. With the help of Skype, Zoom, and Google Meet programs, for example, online conferences are held. These technologies are easy to use and do not require additional time and financial costs for training, as they have already firmly entered the everyday life of every person. The only requirement is the availability of appropriate technical capabilities.
Modern foreign language learning technologies involve the use of professionally oriented learning, the project method, game technologies, intensive and distance learning technologies, information and telecommunication technologies, working with educational and monitoring computer programs in foreign languages, creating a presentation, learning a foreign language on a computer environment (forums, blogs, e-mail), educational systems, the latest test technologies, namely: the creation of a database of foreign language materials for computer testing to control students' knowledge.
It is worth noting the positive experience of using blog technologies in teaching foreign languages. A popular blog can be structured according to separate headings (components). The rubric "Educational discipline" includes academic disciplines, each of which has a separate page. For example, on the page of the course "Foreign Language for Professional Purposes" the purpose and tasks of the course, the list of control questions, the structure of the examination ticket, evaluation criteria; materials for practical classes; practical tasks for independent work; the list of sources are presented. Modern possibilities of technical means of education allow using files of various formats. In particular, on the page of the course "Foreign Language for Professional Purposes", students have access to copies of foreign language sources that are not available in the university library. Using free access to global content also greatly facilitates the preparation of scientific works. Information about literary sources is also worth paying attention to [7]. The list of literary sources and methodical literature on foreign language teaching with references should be presented by lecturers. This list should be constantly updated and supplemented according to the appearance of new sources, which helps students to be aware of all literary, linguistic, and methodical innovations.
The special educational potential of a foreign language is reflected in the "Curator's Hour" section, which presents educational and upbringing materials that stimulate reflection on universal human values, and foster a sense of respect, and tolerance for other languages and peoples in a multicultural environment of society.
The use of a web journal in the practice institutions of higher education allows noting its wide functionality in the process of learning a foreign language. In particular, students have the opportunity to study independently according to individual characteristics and level of knowledge without time and space limitations. The presence of multimedia tools allows organizing foreign language interactive interaction, increases the accessibility of the presentation of the material, and motivation to study, and ensures the integration of lecturers and students into the international educational space. Working with a blog contributes to the formation of the digital competence of the student's personality, the development of creativity, and independence in the process of searching and processing information.
In recent years, the popularity of the use of cloud technologies, which allow students to implement their skills and expand the boundaries of information, communication, and foreign language competence, has grown significantly. Cloud technologies can become a convenient tool for a lecturer who seeks to organize the pedagogical interaction of students. Vivid examples of cloud technologies that can be implemented in the teaching of foreign languages are the services provided by Google: Google Docs (documents, tables, presentations, forms, diagrams, pictures), Google Calendar (the electronic calendar with a wide range of event reminders, information groups of people about future events), Google Mail (e-mail with an advanced interface), Google Translate (the online translator for all languages of the world), Google Groups (the service that provides practical unlimited opportunities for collaboration on creating, editing and publishing documents), Google Talk (the web client that provides the possibility of live communication on the Internet), Google Labs (the incubator of ideas for new services), etc. [3, p. 15].
The communicative method as a means of learning foreign languages is aimed at the development and improvement of personality, disclosure of his/her reserve opportunities and creative potential, and 140 creates the preconditions to effectively improve the educational process in higher education institutions [1, p. 152]. Its variety is a cognitive- communicative method of teaching, which is based on the principle of awareness [6, p. 58].
The lack of real language practice is easily offset by Web 2.0 tools that create a language teaching environment that allows students to acquire and generate knowledge and not remain passive recipients.
The technology of "inverted learning" makes it possible to use a variety of resources for this so that students can prepare more effectively for practical training on their own. The key advantage of "inverted learning" is that students are able to consult with the lecturer much more often, which helps to strengthen the relationship between them. In addition, weak students manage to gain pace and catch up with stronger classmates. A common learning environment is created. However, in itself, the technology of "inverted learning" does not guarantee success in language learning. Firstly, the lecturer should solve the problem of choosing the most effective tools, most of which are freely available on the Internet. Secondly, educational online resources can be useful for teaching a foreign language only in the hands of creative and experienced lecturers [8].
One of the methods that promotes the development of foreign language competence, quickly and firmly absorb the educational material, and has a high level of motivation of education applicants, is the game. Didactic games have a clear goal and appropriate pedagogical results. This class of games helps students in learning a foreign language through the development of intellectual abilities, memory, and thinking. Games- travels provide understanding and consolidation of a particular educational material. The activity of education applicants in these games can be expressed in the development and creation of diaries, writing letters, and accumulating a variety of cognitive material. This type of work is characterized by the activity of imagination [4].
Scientific circles do not have a unanimous opinion about the efficiency and expediency of using cinema and video materials in learning a foreign language. However, it should be considered appropriate and relevant to use Home Watching to increase learning motivation. Viewing and watching a movie or cartoon in comfortable conditions and at a convenient time provides stable interest, and activates cognitive activity in the course of homework. Home Watching involves performing exercises, and tasks that would allow every higher education applicant to open his/her activity and creativity. For example, generation of ideas (about the last episode, course of events) before watching the movie, finding coincidences, filling in gaps, answers to questions, discussions, discussing the events of the film, writing a description of characters or a letter to one of them, presentation of another end of processed history, playing [2, p. 8].
One of the effective interactive teaching methods for students is a web quest method which is defined as a research activity in which the majority or all the information used by students is taken from the Internet. Web quests aimed at rational use of students' time focused on the use of information, not on its search, maintain students' thinking at the levels of analysis, synthesis, and evaluation. There are many tasks for web quests: mysterious investigation, analytical or creative tasks, scientific research, planning, design, and more. Typically, quest topics can be varied, and problematic tasks are characterized by different levels of complexity. The results of the fulfillment of the conditions of the web quest are made by the oral report, creating a presentation, writing essays, creating a web page, etc. [4, p. 254].
The conclusions and prospects for further research
Innovative techniques and technologies presented help to increase the effectiveness of learning foreign languages in an institution of higher education. Despite the age characteristics of students, the presentation of complex topics should be accessible and varied, to arouse interest and desire not only to fulfill the established software requirements but also to self-develop as a person and a future specialist.
