The goal of the research consists in showing that application of a video blog as an extracurricular activity is a very effective interactive method that improves the process of the learning of a new language. The main research method was modeling the process of organizing extracurricular activity using a video blog for students at preparatory department of a nonlanguage-centered university. A group of international students that was studying a foreign language created a video blog under the supervision of a teacher. The objective of this blog was preparation and uploading topical videos about different places in Odessa (Ukraine). Analyzing this project -the implementation of a video blog at the initial phase of foreign language learning shows us that integration of topical video blogs into the learning process as an extracurricular activity enhances the students' education in many ways: primarily, it cultivates communication skills, trains oral perception, improve understanding of native speakers and interest in a foreign language learning. We can conclude that the future development and implementation of blogtechnology as an interactive method of extracurricular activity will be an important and useful tool.
