CROSS-CULTURAL PROFESSIONAL COMMUNICATION: BLENDED LEARNING IN THE DIGITAL AGE
Abstract and keywords
Abstract (English):
In the Digital Age the focus of the modern educational process has radically shifted to give way to new forms and methods of educational activity due to the introduction of the digital technologies in the education system. Digital technologies open new vistas for the education system reform to introduce new methods to the professionally oriented L2 teaching necessary for effective cross-cultural communication. Blended learning is the first stage of the education system reform to meet the challenges of the time. It is evident that the modern education system requires optimization of its methods and activities. To achieve this, it is necessary to analyze and systematize the professionally oriented L2 curriculum, outline the problematic aspects, introduce innovative digital technologies in order to create effective IOT (Individual Educational Trajectory) for each individual student. Information, communication and digital technologies integrate text, graphic and video images, speech and music, making education multimodal. L2 teaching at the History Faculty has taken into account both hard skills and soft skills to equip history students with deep knowledge and expand their outlook by developing their critical thinking, creativity, research competence to prepare them for independent scholarly, academic, pedagogical and social activities.

Keywords:
