Answer questions
1. The application of information and communication technologies in education has, in modern
conditions, an increasingly significant impact on the quality and competitiveness of the
national education system. The integration of Russian education into the world educational
system is connected with the observance of the fundamental international standards
requirements.
2. Developing listening skills comes “naturally” for some students, but with great difficulty for
others. Acquiring listening skills can even be frustrating for some students. For some time,
listening was regarded as a “passive” or “receptive” skill and, consequently, not particularly
crucial as a skill area to be taught. Researchers then began to recognize the importance of
listening and its role in comprehensible input (Krashen, 1982), and attention to and adoption
of newer comprehension-based methodologies brought the issue to the fore. Listening
became a skill to be reckoned with and its key position in communication recognized (Feyten,
1991; Omaggio Hadley, 2001). In the communicative approach to language teaching, this
means teachers modelling listening strategies and providing listening practice in authentic
situations: those that learners are likely to encounter when they use the language outside the
classroom. Given the importance of listening in language learning and teaching it is essential
to give our learners opportunity to develop and improve their listening skills not only in the
classroom, but outside the classroom as well.
3. Distance education, also called distance learning, is the education of students who may not
always be physically present at a school.Traditionally, this usually involved correspondence
courses wherein the student corresponded with the school via mail. Today, it involves online
education. A distance learning program can be completely distance learning, or a combination
of distance learning and traditional classroom instruction.Massive open online courses,
offering large-scale interactive participation and open access through the World Wide Web or
other network technologies, are recent educational modes in distance education.A number of
other terms (distributed learning, e-learning, m-learning, online learning, virtual classroom
etc.) are used roughly synonymously with distance education.
