Stages of teaching students foreign language written speech based on cooperative learning and ICT

Abstract

The learning algorithm is part of any particular methodical system. It determines its normal functioning and represents the implementation of precise instructions on how to implement the learning process. Considered initially within the framework of programmed learning, the algorithm subsequently began to be considered as an element of pedagogical technologies. Today, the learning algorithm is a set of stages in the implementation of project activities and is inextricably linked with the project method. We outline the general provisions of the project method, as well as analyzes the research of Russian and foreign scientists in the application of project methodology in language education. Based on the analysis of the above literature, the author presents the author's stages for implementing the methodology of teaching foreign language written speech based on pedagogical technology of cooperative learning with the use of ICT. The following stages are: 1) informational and organizational; 2) technical; 3) procedural; 4) evaluative. At the same time, each stage corresponds to a set of steps, the total number of which is 12. At steps 1, 2 and 3, the project methodology and technology of “cooperative learning” are introduced, a list of topics or subtopics is proposed, the group membership is determined and the tasks and goals of the project, time frames and conditions of implementation, evaluation criteria are specified. At the 4th and 5th steps, students are introduced to the software and the features of working on selected platforms, and the rules for ensuring information security are discussed. At steps 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10, a procedural stage is implemented when students perform written work during extracurricular time together and consult with the teacher. At steps 11 and 12, there is a presentation of the project product, general discussion, evaluation of group work and reflection.
