METHODOLOGY OF TEACHING A FOREIGN LANGUAGE IN DISTANCE EDUCATION

The article examines the methodological foundations of teaching a foreign language in distance education, its specific features, and ways of effective organization. The research employs theoretical analysis, the comparative-typological method, and pedagogical observation. The author analyses the adaptation of the communicative approach, the blended model, and the flipped classroom model to the distance environment. It also highlights the possibilities of developing the four language skills — listening comprehension, speaking, reading, and writing — with the help of digital tools. Based on the research results, practical recommendations aimed at improving the quality of the educational process have been developed.
