Anyushenkova Olga Nikolayevna, senior lecturer, Financial university under the Government of the Russian Federation

This article discusses the problem of using various computer programs in teaching foreign languages. The author comes to the conclusion that the use of computer programs in the study of a foreign language provides excellent results for the development of independent work of students: peer review of complex materials, self-monitoring, testing. Using computer programs, the learner shortens the time to overcome the language barrier. Thanks to the programs, vocabulary and grammatical constructions are formed and improved. Do not forget about the attractiveness of the use of computer programs: This creates a psychological atmosphere, a positive emotional mood. This also facilitates the process of understanding and assimilating foreign speech. This provides a motivation for success in learning foreign languages.

Today, the use of computers in the teaching and learning of foreign languages is considered as an innovative approach to learning.

This can be explained by the fact that computer assisted technology helps us to create a new system of education. The use of computers for different training activities, still belongs to the group of "technical innovation". Increasing computer database, gives us the opportunity to quickly process large amounts of data, apply new teaching approaches.

The process of perception becomes more open to motivate students.

Practice proves that the use of various computer programs in teaching foreign languages gives excellent results for the development of students' independent work: reviewing difficult materials, self-control, testing.

Using computer programs, the learner automatically reduces time to overcome the language barrier. This is very important nowadays, as learning a foreign language, the learner faces a number of problems that impede the understanding of the language and assimilation of information.

Thanks to computer programs, the vocabulary and grammatical constructions are formed and improved. Do not forget about the attractiveness use of computer programs: various images, music - all this helps to immerse deeper in the cultural and social environment of a new language. Computer programs create a psychological atmosphere of a positive emotional mood, facilitate the process of understanding and assimilating foreign speech; ensure the motivation for success in learning foreign languages.

It is very important to teach students how to combine knowledge of the computer and the ability to use them for self-learning.

Modern society needs excellent professionals familiar with modern technical devices and having knowledge of foreign language at the level of professional communication. All this can be achieved using traditional methods of organizing educational activities, such as: conversations, explanations and group-work.

At the present stage, information and communication technologies are one of the newest and most promising tools for improving educational activities.

A distinctive feature of the use of computers in the learning process is the theoretical, psychological and pedagogical understanding of computer assisted training, and the development of various training programs.

But on the other hand, we see the growth of various computer training programs, but on the other hand, we are not given enough theoretical development of this issue.

It is known that foreign speech is remembered better when media modules are used. Using the latest information and communication technologies to achieve the greatest effect in developing foreign language skills, it is necessary to include assignments and exercises that include multimedia modules.

Multimedia is the use of computers to present text, animation, video, graphics and sound in an integrated way. Multimedia is composed of various components: text, graphics, animation, sound, and video. These components can contribute differentially to the learning of material. [1, c. 1]

Text is the key element in all multimedia applications. It conveys most information. In order to catch the learner's attention, teachers can use different font size, color, and style to present information; emphasize a certain word or phrase.

Graphics refers to images and pictures, such as chart, diagram, and photograph. It plays a very important role in language teaching process. Graphics can stimulate interesting and motivation, improve understanding ability of language, and offer especial reference object and topic.

Animation is the rapid display of a sequence of images of 2-D or 3-D artwork or model positions in order to create an illusion of movement. Assisted by the use of animation, teachers can highlight key knowledge points and heighten students' motivation. [1, c.143]

Sound is speech, music, or any other sound that is stored and produced by computers. Teachers can use more vivid and fruitful sound to help students' English learning.

Video is the visible part of a television transmission and broadcasts visual images of stationary or moving objects. Compared with animation, video can offer more vivid information. But it will consume more storage space than animation. . [1, c.165]

With the help of multi-media, all the tasks: writing, reading, listening, or speaking will be creatively transformed by the students in oral speech and fixed by work on the computer.

First of all, when teaching a foreign language at the present stage, the main thing is learning rules of speech behavior and activities in certain types of communicative situations.

Therefore, first of all, students face the task of acquainting themselves with the history, culture, customs and traditions of the country they are studying. It is important to organize intercultural trainings with intercultural themes to introduce students to representatives of other cultures. Special opportunities for the organization of intercultural trainings are provided by means of telecommunication technologies, where the Internet occupies a dominant position.

It is worth noting that the Internet is both a complex technical system and a socio-cultural entity that affects the worldview of all its participants. And therefore, in order to avoid language conflicts, first of all it is necessary to overcome the "language barrier", which inhibits understanding of foreign speech and does not allow the opportunity for students to communicate with each other fully.

Recently, in the methodology of teaching foreign languages, much attention is paid to the problem of authenticity. In the linguistic sense, such texts are characterized by a set of peculiar vocabulary. In the psychological aspect, in such texts, the active (impelling) side of the speaking structure is reflected. These materials encourage students to study foreign languages with great interest, which is a great incentive for learning.

In conclusion, it can be said that innovative processes in vocational education are a complex and multifaceted phenomenon. Many works of domestic and foreign scientists are devoted to its study. Highlighting the general approach, it can be noted that innovative pedagogical activity represents a very complicated process, where the teacher is the central figure. He or she is not a simple observer. Carrying out language classes in a computer class, with using computer programs, the teacher should prepare the prerequisites to achieve the desired results.

Summing up, it is necessary to say that innovative processes in the system of teaching foreign languages are a mechanism of self-organization and development system of education.

On the one hand, their appearance is a reaction to a rapid change in the social environment, and on the other hand, these are internal processes that are directed at the establishment of greater compliance with the needs of the modern labor market and the improvement of the education system.
