THE BENEFITS AND POSSIBLE TOOLS FOR TEACHING FOREIGN

LANGUAGES ONLINE

The development of both foreign language learning methods and tools never leans back.

To make learning possible from distance, thera are different kinds offree and fee required websites, usages of them and implementing those skills gained is straightforward nowadays.

Key words: Tool, Core subject, multilingual, cognitive benefits, ebooks, exchange, digital classroom, systematic training, video and audio courses.

Currently, the world is being enhanced really fast, and the importance of the foreign language is increasing too. The language is not only the subject to study but also the helpful tool to exchange the vital needs of authorities. Popularity of learning foreign language is also at its peak among the youngsters. This is because of so-called lockdown "Covid-19" or the advanced technology impact on people's mind. Therefore, it has been a quite difficult to deliver the classes in the ordinary classrooms. It was due to the spread of the virus or the psychological threat to people's mind. The only way forward could be teaching students from the distance.

Another drawback of the traditional teaching is that lessons may not be as interesting as before. Old fashioned materials and dull system may not lure the student's attention.

Today, the modern world community imposes appropriate requirements to a specialist not only in terms of their professionalism, their competence in the field of employment, but also to knowledge of foreign languages. Expanding contacts in all fields of science and technology, symposiums, conferences, business partnerships, both in the field of production and in the field of service, and recently tourism, indicate the urgent need to master a foreign language, especially by specialists. Is not a secret that a foreign language allows, first and foremost, be knowledgeable on new developments in a particular field of science, promotes rapid understanding affects productivity collaboration helps to build trust and, not least, promotes a healthy climate. The advantages of knowing a foreign language can be enumerated indefinitely. The question is how to learn a foreign language, and whether it is available to everyone. The so-called phenomenon of foreign language proficiency has long been studied by both linguists and psychologists; whole theories and prescriptions are being built, and a number of methods are being proposed. However, this is not a panacea for learning a foreign language. An important factor in this case is a genetic predisposition, a kind of linguistic talent, and an important one is hard work, which includes consistency, regularity and, of course, desire. The main methods of learning foreign languages that exist and are currently offered are, as a rule, self- stud y, group classes, individual classes, the so - called artificial immersion in the language environment, as well as the use of video and audio courses, and Express classes (intensive courses). Each of these methods has its advantages and disadvantages, but each of them does not provide for a quick, as if self-evident, easy mastery of a foreign language. Without systematic training, without cramming grammatical rules, lexical content, no method will work. The longest and not everyone is amenable to the method is self- study. You can learn to write, read, and translate on your own, but to master oral speech, you need a communication partner, without whom it is impossible to learn to communicate in a foreign language. A partner can be a teacher, a native speaker, who can be found today via the Internet, which in modern society is a plus when learning foreign languages. However, this way does not guarantee the correct phonetic design of oral speech and the correct use of grammar, and lexical units with their exact meanings, since the student must sometimes guess about the application of a particular rule, in other words, a consultant is needed, that is, a teacher. Teachers of foreign languages insist on learning a foreign language in groups, considering this method the most effective and affordable. The latter is questioned not only in terms of human abilities, but also taking into account the fact that not everyone who wants to learn a foreign language, has the opportunity to attend group sessions, such as courses or study at universities specialized faculties. At the beginning of the 21st century, some universities in Russia (for example, the Modern Academy of Humanities) have such a type as distance education. The educational process involved the initial work of teachers with students, with explanations and explanations of new material.

Foreign language education should play a prominent role in grade school education and should be regarded as a core subject, due to both the academic and cognitive benefits received from foreign language learning. Learning a foreign language in school not only increases students' reading and writing abilities in their native language [1], but there are various other cognitive benefits, such as critical thinking and problem-solving skills, that affect student academic achievement [2]. The benefits of foreign language education not only impact grade school students, but these benefits continue into adulthood where multilingual adults have adapted much better to both their professional and social lives, as part of having not just a better memory and concentration, but also having more cognitive flexibility [3], such as the ability to think of multiple concepts simultaneously.

Education of foreign languages is not only important for the cognitive benefits, but also for the socio-cultural benefits. Such benefits include an increased understanding of awareness, sympathy, sensitivity, and tolerance [4]

Therefore, We have established different kinds of ways to deliver the classes online in non-governmental education centers. If we do not include "Zoom meeting" or "Moodle" apps or websites, Teaching online in my country's systems has variety of options,Here below we have some sorts of it collected: First is the websites for finding free language courses, such as: Live Lingua

Heading off the list is Live Lingua, the Internet's largest collection of free public domain language learning materials, according to the site itself. It's not hard to believe. There are thousands of free e-books, audio recordings and foreign language video materials available in over 130 different languages.

It's also one of the most user-friendly websites hosting the US Foreign Service Institute's public domain language courses, which were developed by the US Department of State for expert language learning and are now freely available on various sites across the Web.

Second is Websites with Video-based Language Learning Content, such as:

FluentU

&

FluentU is a totally different world of language learning.

If you're into learning with video, TV and movies (which you definitely should be ), you've got to at least grab your free trial and spend a couple weeks binge-learning here with our video and audio libraries, which feature many of the same things native speakers of your target language are watching in their sweatpants while eating potato chips at home.

Two main features set FluentU apart from the others on this list. The first is the sheer range of available content: movies, news, documentaries, cartoons, music videos, funny YouTube videos or whatever else you like to watch, it's there.

The second is that it uses real-world video. Instead of contriving some slowly-spoken and articulately pronounced (and usually terribly boring) videos for learners, FluentU directs you to authentic video content appropriate to your level with built-in learning tools that ensure you can keep up.

Starting out with the free trial will give you a priceless learning boost, and if you subscribe after the trial period you'll be paying less monthly for unlimited video content than you'd be shoveling out hourly for lessons with even the most affordable tutors.

FluentU takes authentic videos videos—like music videos, movie trailers, news and inspiring talks—and turns them into personalized language learning lessons. You can try FluentU for free for 2 weeks.

Third type of it is Free Websites for Connecting with Native Speakers of Your Language, such as: italki

The site italki is one of the biggest names out there for practicing your language skills online with native speakers. Designed for language learners to find native speaking teachers and exchange partners via Skype, the free version of their service includes some great benefits, including access to their learner community. This access allows you to connect with other learners and arrange informal language exchanges via Skype or email. If you're looking to invest a little more to have a private tutor or teacher at some point, you can do that on italki too.

Conclusion

The need for foreign languages will never finish and never stop. As we are witnessing sophisticated technological advances. The need for online learning and teaching can only grow. So, the governments and individuals should adjust to the popularity of it and implement it for their upcoming generations. Learning languages remotely has such a tons of benefits that can overweight any negatives.
