irreplaceable: a virtual Internet environment allows to go beyond the temporal

Conclusion
Modern educational technology such as cooperative
learning, project method, the use of new information technologies, the Internet
- resources to help implement student-centered approach to training, provide
individualized and differentiated learning, taking into account the capacities
of children, their level of training, aptitude, etc. Comprehensive
basis of mass computerization of education, of course, stems from the fact that
the modern computer is an effective means of optimizing the conditions of
intellectual work in general, in any form. R. Williams and C. Mackley, in his
article "Computers in the Schools " write: "There is one feature
of the computer, which is revealed when using it as a device to train others,
and as an assistant in the acquisition of knowledge, this is his inanimate. The
machine can be" friendly "communicate with the user and in some
moments of "support" it, but it will never show signs of
irritability, and will not give to feel that she was bored. In this sense, the
use of computers is perhaps the most useful for the individualization of
certain aspects of teaching. " The main purpose of learning a foreign
language in high school - the formation of communicative competence, all other
goals (educational, developing) are realized in the implementation of this
primary objective. Communicative approach involves teaching communication and
the formation of the ability to cross-cultural interaction, which is the basis
for the functioning of the Internet. Beyond communicating online does not make
sense - is an international multi-ethnic, cross-cultural society whose livelihoods
based on the electronic communication of millions of people around the world,
speaking at the same time - the most gigantic in size and number of
participants conversation ever took place. Including in it, we create a model
of real communication. Communicating in real language environment provided by
the Internet, students find themselves in these situations. Involved in a wide
range of meaningful, realistic, interesting and achievable objectives, the
students learn spontaneously and adequately respond to them, which stimulates
the creation of original expression, and not a manipulation of linguistic
expressions.
