Abstract
The relevance of the research is due to the necessity to form and develop the speaking skills of Faculty of Foreign Languages students with a blended form of education and insufficient development of theoretical and technological tools for the effective implementation of this process. Blended learning is considered as a special type of educational activity, in which there is an alternation of traditional and distance learning technologies. We believe that blended learning has a significant potential for organizing the process of foreign language education in general and teaching speaking to students of the Faculty of Foreign Languages in particular. The specifics and advantages of the blended form of education for foreign language education are highlighted, as well as specific methods, techniques and tasks that can be successfully implemented in the process of teaching speaking in a blended format of education are given. The purpose of the study is to present the technological aspects of teaching speaking to students of the Faculty of Foreign Languages in a blended format of training and the development of educational and methodical support aimed at the implementation of this process. The novelty of the study lies in the fact that it analyzes digital resources that can be effectively used in the process of teaching speaking in a blended educational format, and also provides examples of specially designed exercises for the development of speaking skills that can be used in the process of training future specialists in foreign language education with a combination of traditional and online forms of education.
