Features of Pedagogical Design of a Digital Language Course for the University Students

The language is entering the era of the information society and is undergoing changes associated with borrowing words from the dominant language. With the development of social, political, economic and cultural conditions with other societies, there is a “mixing of languages” or “language contact”. This process affects the structure or vocabulary of one of the languages. Since contact occurs through the social and speech interaction of native speakers, the result is either minor changes in vocabulary or significant structural changes at all language levels. In the vocabulary of any language, there are many borrowed words, which are very diverse both in their composition and in the degree of penetration into the language they are borrowed from. Of all the units of a language – phonetic, grammatical, and lexical-words are usually the most easily borrowed due to their General mobility. However, in the vocabulary of any language there are, as we already know, different “layers”, different categories of words that are borrowed in different ways. The problem of borrowing in vocabulary has both a general and a particular aspect, due to the peculiarity of the relationship between different languages.

This research is focused on creolized or polycode texts functioning in pedagogical discourse and the ways of text adaptation by means of creolization. With the development of modern ways of communication, the number of texts combining verbal and non-verbal components has dramatically increased. In modern communication non-verbal component may be represented by pictures, photos, different printing types and colour coding, video and audio components. Due to their high efficiency such texts are used in all kinds of discourse: pedagogical, political, medical etc. One of the purposes of pedagogical discourse is the presentation of new information to students. This information should be adapted to the conceptual system of the addressee in order to facilitate the perception. Creolized or polycode texts often perform this function. According to our research, means of creolization can be used in adaptation of a notion, situational, motivational, and intensifying adaptation.

Modern educational technologies and the Internet resources have significantly expanded the possibilities of organizing the process of learning a foreign language.

The advantages of podcasts include their availability, variability, free choice, periodic updates, relevance, mobility. The teaching media space offers, along with specialized educational podcasts, information, music, comedy podcasts, audiobooks, news in politics and sports, game channels. The main features of educational podcasts are: authenticity, relevance, multi functionality, multi-channel perception, mobility of the used technical means, productivity. Based on the analysis of various foreign language educational podcasts, 5 types were identified, classified by the content. Such podcasts can be recommended and successfully used not only in class, but also at home. Using the theme “Food” as an example, the audio podcast RealLife English Podcast # 180: In the Kitchen (Cooking Expressions) aims to develop students’ auditory skills as well as communication skills using theme vocabulary in speech. Thus, podcast technology has great potential for further development, especially in the context of the actualization of distance learning.
