Короткий опис (реферат):
Globalization and increasing demands on specialists determined the need to learn a foreign language in the modern world. Consequently, higher education institutions
(HEIs) need to improve the educational programme for the
preparation of future specialists for professional activities.
The aim of this research was to determine the effectiveness
of the use of modern digital technologies during the study
of a foreign language by medical students and to identify the students’ personal attitude during the experiment.
The research employed the methods of expert evaluation,
pre- and post-testing (Common European Framework of
Reference for Languages (CEFR)), a survey with the inclusion of a technology perception model. Cronbach’s alpha
was used to check the reliability of the used questionnaires. Cohen’s kappa coefficient and Pearson’s chi-squared
test were used for statistical processing of the results. The
study found that students of the experimental group (EG)
who studied using different digital technologies showed
significant success in improving foreign language skills
after the final test than students of the control group (CG).
It is also worth noting that EG students were more motivated to use digital technologies after the experiment. The
novelty of this study is that the study of English by medical
students was carried out using digital technologies that
were chosen according to the age, profession and foreign
language proficiency level of the experimental sample of
students. Prospects for further research may be to determine the effectiveness of artificial intelligence during foreign language learning by medical students.
