Role-Playing Technologies in the Format of Online Education at a University in the Framework of International Vocational-Oriented, Intercultural and Foreign-Language Cooperation

Abstract

Our article is devoted to the problem of training qualified specialists for all sectors of the economy, industry, agriculture and service. The material and practical experience analyzed and studied by us make it possible to say that it is not enough for a university graduate to have knowledge only in his future specialty, but it is important in the modern conditions of the information space to master sufficiently foreign languages and the basics of intercultural communication. Today, the task has become even more urgent. The scientific and practical material we have studied has shown that for the successful process of developing linguistic, intercultural and professional competencies, interactive innovative technologies and techniques have recently become widely used. In our opinion, online tandem training is gaining great popularity. It not only complements traditional classical learning, but also extends its boundaries in many ways. We are convinced that in the framework of online tandem training, case-based role-playing technologies are developed and used in order to make students aware of a specific problem and be able to find the best ways to solve it. The practice of our classes shows that in the modern age of mobile changes, the person is independently able to realize his individual development trajectory in accordance with his abilities, capabilities and needs, and, responsibly, make decisions and effectively realize himself in the modern world. The methodology of mass open online courses developed by us and introduced into the educational process involves the widespread use of role-playing technologies in the framework of inter-subject cooperation.
