need of using possibilities of information technologies for education is

the information educational environment is discussed. Conceptual justification
of an intensification of student’s independent work with using information

Keywords: information
educational environment, independent work of students, distance learning.
One of the most important tasks which rises before the
teacher of a foreign language in non-language higher education institution is
the organization of independent work of the students which opens great
opportunities for an intensification and individualization of educational
process.
In the works of researchers such as E.V. Aleksandrova
[1], E.N. Zaytseva [2],
O. V. Ilyina [3], O. P. Kryukovà [4], I. P. Pavlova [5], etc. it is
shown that modern information technologies possess high potential for the
solution of these problems that allows to consider them as the perspective
environment of training of a foreign language.
Information and mediatizatsiya of the international
sociocultural environment, professional spheres, science and education lead to
that entry into culture foreign is impossible without informational practice of
language activity. The urgency of such approach is caused also by need of
transition of all system of high school education to so-called open education.
Goals are logical for reaching by means of computer means, logically combining
their use with traditional techniques of training of foreign languages.
To solve the
tasks connected with training of a foreign language, it is necessary to
approach differentially as many aspects of development of language competence
depend on character, the contents and an orientation of preparation of future
expert. Despite considerable experience of use of means of new information
technologies in education as a whole and in training the foreign language in
particular, still has a problem of search of optimum forms of use of computers
in educational process, and also uses of various didactic possibilities of the
information technologies which are meeting the requirements of modern
educational process in higher education institution.
Developed use in training to language of new
information technologies demands system development and forecasting as
evolution of these technologies goes at the speed considerably advancing rate
of methodical judgment of questions in training to languages. Now very
pertinently to raise the question about development on the updated scientific
basis of basic psychological-pedagogical system of training to the languages,
realizing modern ideas and tendencies and capable to receive the further
differentiated methodical realization depending on the purposes, conditions and
forms of education.
According to
modern Russian and foreign researchers, the understanding of how there should
be a turning on of the computer in training process that with the most
effective way will provide involvement in processes of knowledge of all
identity of the student at level of creative, dialogical thinking and social
activity as it takes place in professional activity is key.
Thus, into the
forefront there is a conceptual justification of complete system of educational
subject informative activity with use of the information technologies, keeping
the main stages of formation of intellectual actions with use of the
constructive analysis and modeling of subject environments.
Specific property of the environment in which there is
an educational process, its saturation educational resources is. Creation,
enrichment and distribution of such resources or, in other words, the
organization of developing possibilities of the environment, is a key
pedagogical task.
Variety of the
information and educational environments which were in development form the
information and educational environment of separate higher education
institution, group of higher education institutions etc. With development of
distance learning, development and implementation of the concept of open
educational space of Russia, association and development of educational
environments leads to development of the educational space which essence is
made by in a special way organized, structured and socialized educational
environments which are carrying out functions of translation of social and
individual experience and development of culture.
The environment structure, its filling, training and
developing functions depend on tasks which are put in the course of teaching of
this or that discipline. Active educational process is considered as the
interpersonal, dialogical interaction organized in the direction of achievement
of uniting subjects of training of the purpose – development of necessary
knowledge, formations of theoretical and practical thinking and development of
the identity of future professional.
Features of structure, the contents and functions of
the information training environment in which training to a foreign language of
students of not language specialties is carried out, are defined by a number of
factors which follow also modern didactic, methodical and psychological
specifics of high school training to a foreign language, and also the specific
practical objectives facing a course of a foreign language in not language
higher education institution.
Thus, a solving condition of formation of skills of
the computer mediated independent work is orientation of educational process as
a whole, in all its parts and at all grade levels on active independent
informative involvement in the computer environment which should be considered
through a prism of the relations and requirements of the personality in the
conditions of search creative, educational and informative, communicative and
other kinds of activity, in development of internal requirement of the learning
of foreign language connected with future profession.
