Introduction of distance technologies into the process of external students’ a foreign language teaching in non-linguistic groups.

At present economic development in  Kazakhstan society needs the knowledge of a foreign language is an  important criterion of an estimation of young specialist`s  professionalism who needs to work with information which available to the world community in the professional activity process, and also to be able to communicate with foreign colleagues at professional and social levels.

In modern conditions the status of foreign languages in higher education system is constantly changing in non- linguistic institutions. The acquisition not only special knowledge, but also successful mastering by a foreign language is very important, thus the purposes and the content of foreign languages teaching are oriented on a specialty profile. The practical necessity of specialists knowing a foreign language and are prepared for assimilation of advanced technologies, allowed to create a new system of foreign languages education.

Priority functions are such connected with formation of a professional orientation, aspiration to receive knowledge necessary for acquaintance of foreign languages achievements in professional area that does graduates of higher education institution more competitive. Making a start from the point of view that the foreign language is a key to a future professional activity, higher school teachers  form not only language and speech skills, but also expand information in the professional sphere at the expense of use of professionally directed texts, mastering by professional terms, professional education.

At the same time the operating system of higher external education isn't capable to carry out high-quality training of specialists on discipline "Foreign language" because of the lack of the special educational and methodical literature, special techniques of carrying out classroom occupations; absence of the correct independent work organization, both during the lessons, and during the intersession period, systems of the current control.

Relevance of this problem is caused also by generalizing researches lack on effective system creation in foreign language teaching within external course, including basic computer technologies; domination in students` teaching  with traditional techniques that causes low motivation in the process of foreign languages teaching.

Despite high requirements to practical foreign language skills of future specialists,  the number of obligatory hours for a foreign language studying  in non-linguistic institutions, remains so small. It is naturally that foreign language teachers should revise curricula and focus educational process on increase students` independent work.

One of the most available means in optimization of students` independent work  is integration of Internet resources into educational process in non-linguistic higher education institution. Due to the general availability of the Internet and simplicity of its use, distance education of foreign languages is more necessary.

Prompt development of information and communication technologies promotes public awareness of distance education in the e-learning format which educational functions can be shown in the following forms: use of multimedia electronic carriers and the Powerpoint programs in audience and library, surfing of numerous educational and media resources of network, Internet communication, creation of own resources, and also development resources of remote education.

From our point of view, distance education is not only new form of education, but also a new form of teaching. Unlike external course, distance education provides next opportunities:

-  of operational transfer on any distances for  information of any volume, any kind (visual and sound, static and dynamic, text and graphic);

-  of its storages in memory of the computer during the necessary time, its editing, processing, listing etc.;

-  of interactivities by means of multimedia information specially created for these purposes and expeditious communication with a teacher;

- of access to various sources of information;

- of works with this information [4].

The electronic or programmed textbook is a mean of distance education. The material of such textbook is made as principles of the programmed management by process of knowledge assimilation. On the one hand, the electronic textbook allows to satisfy leading didactic principles: presentation, scientific character, consciousness, activity, system and sequence, availability, assimilation quality and others, and on the other hand, it conforms to modern requirements of personal approach in a technique of foreign languages teaching.

Now there are various special computer programs focused on foreign languages teaching at distance education. Three main groups are distinguished:

1. The programs devoted to studying of these or those sections of language system (the main task of such programs - introduction and activization of language forms and structures).

2. The programs directed on training in speech activity.

3. The supervising programs providing control speech and language skills.

Besides it next distance technologies are widely use in foreign languages teaching:

• case technology which is close analog of technology of external education (when a student receives a special set of educational and methodical materials (case) for independent training and periodically gets teacher`s consultations);

• net-technology which provides consultations with computers.

 On the basis of the above, it is possible to claim that in the conditions of global crisis and modernization in  higher education in Kazakhstan  the Internet integration resources into educational process is unique possibility of foreign languages teaching for external students, having prospects of expansion in education system in non- linguistic institutions.
