Abstract
New educational standards of higher education and requirements for learning outcomes in non-linguistic universities require new approaches to the educational process. Modern realities lead to the development of effective teaching methods and the implementation of urgent information and communication technologies in the educational process of higher education institutions. This article explores the possibilities of using massive open online courses in blended teaching and learning of foreign language (English) for students majoring in engineering. The criteria and methods for selecting massive open online courses for integration into educational process of English classroom at tertiary level are presented. The comparison of the subject course content in foreign language and content of the Computer Science curricula is demonstrated. The model of face-to-face teaching and learning with the implementation of massive open online course in the framework of the discipline “Professional Foreign Language” is given. It is concluded that massive open online courses have positive opportunities for the development of students’ foreign language professional competence while using them in blended teaching and learning activities.
