DEVELOPING THE SKILLS OF USING THE MULTIMEDIA PROGRAM LEARNINGAPPS.ORG OF A FUTURE PRIMARY SCHOOL ENGLISH LANGUAGE TEACHER

Abstract

The article discusses the possibilities of creating interactive tasks using the Learningapps.org multimedia program when teaching a foreign language. The interactive Learningapps.org program is one of the most effective multimedia tools to help primary students develop all their foreign language skills. The advantages of this application as a means of increasing the efficiency of the process of foreign language education are emphasized. The purpose of the study is to determine and analyze the methodological foundations for the formation of the qualifications of a future foreign language teacher in primary school on the use of the interactive multimedia program Learningapps.org in a foreign language lesson. Scientific novelty and theoretical importance of the research: the efficiency of using Learningapps.org interactive program templates in the preparation of future primary school foreign languages teachers in creating their own interactive exercises and tasks is determined and will be included in the foreign language education program. The practical significance of the study: Learningapps.org interactive program can be used by students during a pedagogical internship as well as by primary school English teachers. Methods used during the research: search for information; use of computer technologies; consultations (with methodical teachers); analysis and comparison; control and evaluation. For identification and analysis, the Learningapps.org interactive program (the interactive Learningapps.org program contains many interactive exercises, games, and templates for creating test control) was theoretically explained during the lecture and applied practically in the workshop, and future elementary school teachers were required to create interactive exercises and interesting interactive games for the 3-4th grade English class, as well as tasks for monitoring and evaluation. Descriptors and criteria were developed to identify and analyze student-designed exercises and tasks, as well as skills in using the Learningapps.org multimedia program, and were assessed using mathematical formulas and a scoring system. As a result, future primary school foreign language teachers learned about the effectiveness of the Learningapps.org interactive device and improved their skills in using it.
