title: Using social network for implementation of the learner-centered
approach while teaching English methodology to university students
language: english
abstract: Techniques of implementation of the student-centered approach engaging the social network can have a good
potential for integration in the learning process as they are able to create conditions for placing the student's
needs in the centre of learning and teaching, forming initiative, creative and responsible attitude on the part of
the students and preparing young people for life in the digital world where computer technologies are becoming
an obligatory part of any professional activity including teaching foreign languages. Working out such
techniques is considered an important methodological problem. The methods of research include analysis of
scientific resources on the problem, working out the method of teaching that integrates online tasks with
classroom activities, verification of its efficiency in the learning and teaching process and interpretation of the
results received. Practical significance of this work is provided by creation of the teaching techniques which
reflect modern requirements of the society in the educational sphere: the students are supposed to form
knowledge on methods of teaching English, develop teaching skills and at the same time learn how to use the
modern digital technologies for achieving professional pedagogic aims. Positive results of this research serve as
basis for further inquiry aimed at involving the Internet technologies into the process of learning and teaching
foreign languages since using social networking as part of foreign language courses can noticeably increase
students’ motivation towards the learning target.
