Improving student motivation for the development of language and speech competencies with training and digital learning platforms

Abstract

Particular attention today is paid to the search for new methods in foreign language teaching that provide high proficiency in a foreign language for professional purposes. An effective way to achieve this goal is the use of digital platforms, which increase motivation in the study of a foreign language for scientific communication. This study investigates the influence of digital platforms on motivation for academic foreign-language communication among students in technical specialties. The pedagogical experiment conducted demonstrated a significant improvement in motivation in the experimental group (EG) compared to the control group (CG). Specifically, students in the EG exhibited a 10.4% increase in high motivation levels post-experiment compared to the CG's 2.2% increase. These findings highlight the efficacy of the Moodle platform in enhancing students' academic foreign-language communication skills.
