The project approach in the teaching of foreign languages at present

The scientific and technological revolution, which brought a powerful flow of information, submitted their claims to the nature of foreign language and, thus, defined new principles of teaching foreign languages’ methods. In recent years, teachers of foreign languages in high schools received considerable autonomy in choosing the means of education. While recognizing the existence of different methods in modern learning a foreign language, it should still be noted that is not the last place is occupied by the methods and technologies based on the use of innovative computer technologies. However, we, the teachers of educational institutions of the country are looking for a reasonable compromise that would solve this problem as productively as possible in modern conditions, using diffe-rent methods. We believe that the need to "expand" narrow space "of communi-cation in the classroom, carry out extensive reliance on practical activities" [4]. To collect the information students need to get "beyond" the audience to be active and independent. In other words, to increase the efficiency of the educational process is necessary to activate the cognitive motivation of the student. To address this issue, you can refer to the project approach (method - John Dewey) (method of project Polat E.S.) [3]. The essence of the design approach is that the student provides new evidence for yourself and comprehending new concepts, and not getting them ready on the teacher (the principle of constructivism). Consequently, the role of the teacher is changing: the teacher goes from the instructor in a more competent colleague, mentor [2. p. 92].

The use of new forms of learning can provide a high quality education, if you use them wisely. Thus, by applying the principles of the design approach in the learning process is a complex effect on the student, because such components are combined here as a conceptual, illustrative, simulator, which controls part of the project. It also can attend the game components [2] to facilitate the understanding and assimilation of the material presented. The specially equipped (computer-based) design approach is quite audience’s fits well into the process of teaching, without affecting the content of education. This allows you to effectively reach the most anticipated learning outcomes and reveal the potential of each student. Given the specificity of the subject "foreign language", this technology can provide the necessary conditions to enhance the cognitive and speech activity for each student, thus giving him the opportunity to understand, to comprehend the new language material to get sufficient practice to develop the necessary skills. Here, as in any other discipline of great importance is the independent work of the student, the teacher directed and formative language skills that require a systematic, continuous, daily work.
This form of learning has great advantages over traditional methods of teaching, including:
• develop creative competence as a measure of communicative language skills at a certain level;
• allows you to train different types of speech and combine them in different combinations;
• helps them realize the linguistic phenomena;
• helps to form linguistic abilities;
• creates a communicative situation;
• promotes the automatization of language and speech acts;
• contributes to the realization of an individual approach;
• intensify the independent work of the student;
• Allows enormously time-saving;

Material based on computer technology, and its distribution in the student's course of study reconstructs a new, more active mode of operation, which helps to maximize the manifestation of creative possibilities and creates the preconditions for the successful assimilation of high volumes of information.

To effectively organize the process of using ICT, the teacher must advance to prepare a presentation to give a list of web-pages and other sources, which should help in resolving the issue (problem), as well as select questions or to state the problem, and the need to bring up these issues, which are sure to must be solved and complex. The more precisely and will be formulated task, the better the result will be. It is also important to discuss the final presentation, the result of the work (design, form, placement on the site, etc.).
The success largely depends on how well organized methodically lesson using ICT, and the current control can be performed by testing system. In this situation, Internet serves no purpose, as a means of learning. Internet does not replace traditional forms and methods of teaching, but it allows faster and more effectively achieving the goals and objectives of the training process.
