Synchronous and asynchronous online teaching of a foreign language

Abstract

The article evaluates the influence of synchronous and asynchronous types of learning in the online environment on mastering a foreign language. The field of online learning provides a flexible and efficient learning environment that makes it easy for students to form, explore and learn information. The author considers the characteristic features of synchronous and asynchronous types of learning, as well as their joint, so-called hybrid use in the educational process. The hybrid online environment combines synchronous learning with an asynchronous set of electronic activities, as it combines simultaneity and non-simultaneity. The article provides examples of the practical use of these types of training in educational activities. The author concludes that the combination of synchronous and asynchronous foreign language teaching creates an ideal environment for electronic language learning and increases the effectiveness of foreign language learning.
