speaking activities and their different combinations, to help to perceive
language phenomena, to form linguistic abilities, to make communicative

Example of work
with computer program dialogues one is chosen, for example "In cafe".
Some pictures are displayed on the scenes, scenes of this dialogue.
I
stage – introduce with dialogue
II
stage – to learn dialogue
In case there are some computers,
students work in pairs or group of
people. They revise phrases after speaker, routine work can be used with
microphone. They may also do exercises to form these sentences with a group of
words, for example: like, lyke, what, you, wood, your, yu, would. Then teacher
directs a point to a necessary word, clicks the mouse to make up a sentence What
would you like? and etc. quantity of right sentences are displayed on the
screen. In this way, student acquires orthography and learn dialogue using
games.

Students make up dialogues using picture, then scene it individually.
Next stage is a control of dialogue speech after learning all dialogues.
Students choose a card with task (teacher herself prepares cards with the
description of situations) and make up their own dialogue using lexics of this
program and displaying their own fantasy.
Teaching

This kind of work
decides two tasks: writing English words correctly and learning to use main

every task sets to print English words and sentences on the main board.
Perfection grammar phenomena.
All teaching computer programs set perfection of definite grammatical
structures, grammatical phenomena are worked out at every lesson: positive,
negative and interrogative sentences, comparative degrees of adjectives,
Participle, Passive voice, pronouns some: any, these is there are structures,
prepositions and etc. all kinds of work of one lesson are directed to work out
a definite Grammar phenomenon.
"Grammar" chapter includes two chapters: theoretical and
practical. By checking students' knowledge the program notices its successes,
in case it is necessary it prompts. Also the program works out a definite
grammar structure, for example. Present continuous is used in many dialogues,
for example, students conversation about their education universities. After
listening to dialogue, they make it up individually with pictures.

From different virtues of personal individualization, supplying summons
of communicative motivation, traditionally suggests control of six methodically
important summons of student as personality context activity; personal
experience; wish, interest; inclination sphere; emotional perceptional sphere;
worldview, student's status in the group. All these instigate student to
learning.
Acquiring FL successfully in its cognitive function contributes
formation of language flair; satisfies knowledgeable methods in learning FL
forms stable motivation of constant work; using FL to get definite information
(reading journals, newspapers, interpretation, dictionaries and etc) makes this
language indispensable in knowledgeable activity of teaching besides FL
intensifies the whole knowledgeable activity of teaching and consequently
arises motivation of learning the language scientists, researching motivation
of learning FL as A.Leontyev, S.Rubenshtein, I. Zimnya single out many kinds of
motivation to control individual development requirements of students. We can
single out the following:
1)
communicative
motivational, defining on
the basis of requirement in communication;
2) lingua-cognitive
motivation based on aspiration of teaching to receive language phenomena:
3) country study
motivation, depending on thematic and emotional interest of student;
As
specific stage of teaching FL is defined by aiming installation, by
peculiarities to acquire the language, by character of acquired material
(volume, complex, informativeness), on this stage further development of
communicative ability and language skills are continued.
Using informational technologies in educational process will from
positive motivation. Contemporary ways develop higher requirements to learning
practical acquirement of foreign language in everyday communication and
professional sphere. Volume of information arises and often routine methods of
its teaching, keeping and working out are non-effective. Using informational
technologies allows to expose a large amount of possibilities of computer as
one of the means of teaching. Computer teaching programs have many advantages
before traditional methods of teaching. They allow to train different kinds of
speaking activity and in different combinations, to help, to acquire language
phenomena, to form linguistic skills, to make up communicative situations, to
automotize language and speaking activities, also to supply possibility of
controlling leading representative systems, realization î individual approach and intensification of students'
individual works.
In multimedia
teaching programs of the English language different methodological ways are
used to allow to introduce, to train and to control. Besides using multimedia
teaching program, computer is an indispensable assistant to train and to have
tests, monitoring of academic process of its own informational fulfillment of
instrumental sphere for elaboration of computer lessons, training didactic
materials, using resources and services of Internet for class and individual
works, also project activities of students. In conclusion it is necessary to
notice that introducing into academic process using multimedia programs do not
single out traditional methods of teaching, but combined in harmony with all
set of teaching: introduction, training, using, control. But using computer
allows not only arise effectiveness of
teaching many times, also stimulate students for further individual
learning the English language.
