Abstract
The article presents the results of evaluating the effectiveness of using Internet memes as teaching material during English classes. In this research, the analysis of Internet memes as elements of network communication was carried out: the stages of its creation, transformation and deconstruction were considered, the cultural and linguistic potential of Internet memes as additional teaching material was revealed. The Internet meme is considered as a complex unit of comparison of the verbal and nonverbal linguistic component, which seems to be a fairly effective means of teaching foreign language with the help of visualizing material. The theoretical (analysis of the theoretical base, synthesis and classification) and practical (sampling, analysis, questionnaire) methods were used. As a result of the study, a scheme for the analysis of Internet memes was developed based on the studied material, a linguistic and stylistic analysis of the verbal component of Internet memes was carried out, which made it possible to develop training tasks for students. A comparative analysis of the testing showed that when using Internet memes as an additional teaching material, the study of a foreign language is more successful, in particular, the students of the experimental group have a higher level of passing the control test and the level of motivation to learn foreign languages higher.
