Abstract:
Distance learning of a foreign language occurs in two modes: synchronous and asynchronous. During the period of COVID-19 quarantine restrictions, it was the synchronous distance learning mode that turned out to be most in demand in Ukrainian universities. In Ukraine, there is a legislative framework for distance learning in higher education institutions. The analysis of foreign and domestic scientific works on the problem of distance learning has shown that the theoretical foundations of distance learning of a foreign language in a synchronous mode have not yet been sufficiently developed. The authors of the article, relying on their own experience, consider the issues of the influence of distance learning in synchronous mode on the methodology and content of foreign language learning, define the competencies of a foreign language teacher in terms of distance learning in synchronous mode, analyze the didactic capabilities of the ZOOM platform, formulate the ethics of interactive comm
unication on the ZOOM platform; show the advantages of distance learning of a foreign language in synchronous mode, characterize the technical conditions for distance learning of a foreign language in synchronous mode on the ZOOM platform and discuss the Economics of distance learning in synchronous mode in Ukraine.
