Abstract:
The primary feature of modernity is the dynamic
development of information technology. Students must be taught the
way to select and find useful information for a particular educational
task from the start. The development of this skill is based on the
various learning strategies. Thus, the strategies that contribute to the
development of autonomy is a crucial aspect in the process of
language learning supported by the tools of modern digital technology.
Distance learning, video conferencing systems, telecollaboration are
technological advancements that require a new paradigm for their
usage. Both asynchronous and synchronous distance learning have
already become part of nowadays reality. Thus, it is difficult to
question the effectiveness of this form of learning and knowledge
acquisition even though there is still a lack of the "infrastructure" to
take advantage of new technologies to the fullest. The subject of the
article is to reflect the use of distance learning in language education.
A description of empirical research was made based on the method of
distance learning in linguistic education, which main goal was to
assess the effectiveness and analysis of features of the distance
method for studying/learning foreign languages. The subject of the
study is to describe the use of e-learning in linguistic education.
