Abstract

This article discusses specific features and peculiarities of distance learning using the latest information technologies. According to the authors, distance learning provides virtually unlimited possibilities for using a personal computer in the process of studying. In linguistic education, the need for intensive implementation of the distance-learning mode of interaction between the parties of the educational process is subject to both socio-economic and subject-specific factors. The authors describe the possibilities of distance education in learning a foreign language at a university level. In the course of this work, the authors are raising and resolving the questions of both the definition of distance learning (a broad view of the problem) and the understanding of its essence and its role in teaching foreign language communication (a detailed look at the problem). This article identifies significant theoretical prerequisites for establishing the role and didactic potential of teaching foreign languages by means of telecommunications. Furthermore, the article establishes linguodidactic possibilities of distance learning in the context of linguistic education and reveals how this type of education functions in the context of educating linguists.
