Introduction
Interactive learning is a specific form of organization of cognitive activity, which has the goal of
creating comfortable learning conditions in which each student feels comfortable and confident,
considers himself successful and intelligent, increases self-confidence well enough as well. The
essence of interactive learning is that the learning process takes place subject to the constant,
active positive interaction of all students. When the teacher and student are equal. As a result of
the organization of educational activities under such conditions, an atmosphere of interaction and
cooperation is created in the classroom, which enables the teacher to become a real leader [7].
Interactive learning technologies are the organization of the learning process in which it is
impossible for a student not to participate in the collective process of cognition. Each student has
a specific task for which he/she must publicly report while the quality of the task assigned to the
group may depend on his activities. Interactive teaching technologies provide for the planned
result, separate interactive techniques that stimulate the process, high elevated interest, and
activate mental capabilities.
Innovative forms of education, in general, can be divided into two groups: innovative forms of
instruction based on Internet technologies and computer technologies. In turn, innovative forms
of training based on Internet technologies can be synchronous and asynchronous. Synchronous
ones include video conferencing, chats, providing real-time communication. Through an
inexpensive Skype program, for example, online conferences and telephone conversations are
widely held. This technology is easy to use, does not require additional time and financial costs
for training, as it has already firmly entered the everyday life of every person. The only
requirement is appropriate technical capabilities. Asynchronous forms include the use of
technologies such as email, blog development, where communication can occur with a time
interval. Creating a virtual space combines both synchronous and asynchronous forms of
learning. This technology makes it possible to live in 3D format, whereby special content is
developed and virtual interaction is carried out, the forms of which can be different: debates,
role-playing games, exhibitions, presentations. The Internet is a rich storehouse of authentic, up-
to-date material (texts, audio, video, etc.) and information, as well as means and opportunities for

communication and building platforms that allow the exchange of ideas, opinions, and
achievements. Moreover, we must not forget about the importance of the relevance of
information. The publication of manuals sometimes takes years, information, vocabulary become
obsolete, which negatively affects the validity of the courses taught, their correspondence to
objective reality. According to studies, courses based on Internet materials are more successful,
as they include up-to-date information and topics that are more meaningful, interesting and,
therefore, more motivating.
Intelligent educational technology involves the integration of the most effective educational
technologies in a holistic system. They cover various algorithms of interaction between teachers
and students with the active use of modern technical means in the educational process. IOT
suggest:
multifaceted cooperation and personal contacts of the teacher and students;
increasing the effectiveness of individual educational and creative activities of students;
mandatory communication of scientific and educational research of students with the
content of the educational process;
increase in the volume of independent work of students;
close connection of theory and practice;
controllability and continuous possibility of correction of the learning process, etc.
The main feature and distinctive feature of student training at innovative universities is the focus
on the training of scientific personnel capable of developing university scientific potential, as
well as on meeting the needs of the high-tech sector of the economy. In the framework of
innovative educational projects of leading universities, programs are being implemented for the
active use of intellectual educational technologies, which imply the obligatory relationship
between the educational, scientific and practical tasks, and the multifaceted cooperation between
teachers and students. With such a target setting, cognitive universal actions are one of the
leading components of the educational standard. In this regard, cognitive universal actions
include:
actions to extract information;
the ability to navigate the knowledge system and recognize the need for new knowledge;
the ability to pre-select sources of information to search for new knowledge.
Currently, innovative teaching technologies (Internet, software, hardware, slide presentations),
the possibilities and advantages of their use in the process of teaching foreign languages, which
arouse interest in the audience, increase the motivation for studying the subject, and this creates a
special emotional perception of the educational material. All of the above justifies the feasibility
of their practical application in the education system; reflects their impact on teaching methods
and the learning process; examples of educational technologies and tools are given. Particular
attention is paid to innovative teaching methods, including using Skype, blogs, Internet sites,
electronic dictionaries, providing new opportunities for effective language learning, making this
process more informative and interesting. The relevance of this problem lies in the fact that
innovative forms of learning are characterized by a high communicative ability and the active
inclusion of students in educational activities, activate the potential of knowledge and skills of
speaking and listening skills, and effectively develop communicative competence skills in
younger students. This helps to adapt to modern social conditions, as society needs people who
are quickly oriented in the modern world, independent and initiative, who achieve success in
their activities. At the heart of any innovation is creativity. Creative activity involves the
development of the emotional and intellectual spheres of personality. This is one of the main
tasks of the modern educational process. Learning activities at school require the use of specific
technologies that provide a solution to this problem. These are innovative forms of training: role-
playing, project method, dramatization, elements of the Language Portfolio technology, ICT,
techniques of critical thinking technology. Innovative activity is one of the most accessible and
effective forms of developing communicative competence skills among younger students,
creating conditions for the socialization of the individual and the development of its

contribution of the project to the overall development of the student? (He can play a role, speak
expressively and emotionally.) What universal actions have children mastered? (They can
independently search for the necessary information.)
Experience in using elements of the “Language Portfolio” technology in English lessons.
Students demonstrate their achievements. This is facilitated by the work of children with the
third section - “My piggy bank” and their participation in exhibitions. This is the section with
which children work constantly. “Piggy bank” is a special folder in which children put the
products of their labor - the results of mastering the English language: essays, creative and
design work, drawings with captions in English, grammar tables, diagrams, photographs of
children, applications, crafts. I devote a whole lesson to working with Piggy once a quarter.
Pupils are given the task of working in pairs, demonstrating their “Piggy Banks” to each other,
they themselves choose the materials that they consider the most interesting and valuable. For
example, studying the topic “Animals”, children prepare drawings, photographs of their pets.
They tell each other about their pets, then come together in small groups and each group prepares
an overview of their “Piggy Banks” for presentation to the whole class. Children of primary
school age perceive the world holistically. Their favorite pastimes are drawing, coloring,
designing (including grammar symbols), singing. I invite them to draw and comment on the
drawn in English.
Using the geometrical figures that are in their “piggy banks”, we construct grammatical
structures (narrative and interrogative sentences), sing songs, sing along with speech patterns,
and convey the contents with gestures and movements. This helps to develop the correct
intonation and articulation of sounds.
In an effort to improve the process of teaching foreign languages, I conduct classes using a PC.
Classes using computer technology are very popular among elementary school students. A
variety of multimedia games contribute to the expansion of the vocabulary, introduce the English
grammar, learn to understand speech by ear, write correctly. Computer programs combine color
graphics, videos, music. I use programs such as “Euro Tallk”, “Learn to Speak English”. The
fragmented use of these programs allows students to increase motivation and interest in the
subject. I use when studying topics: “Numerals”, “Rainbow Colors”, “Shopping and Shopping”,
etc. These programs also provide for the control of knowledge on each topic. Children enjoy
working at a computer. Elementary school students study computer science from the second
grade, so many make presentations on various topics, make mini-projects “My favorite”, “We go
to the zoo”, “My school”, “Home, sweet home”. In high school, projects are presented on almost
every topic with a presentation at Power Point.
Innovative forms of training contribute to the organization and intensification of the educational
activities of schoolchildren, increase the effectiveness of instruction, and create a favorable
microclimate in English classes. In pedagogical practice, we use such games as: “My friend's
collection”, “My friend's trip”, “Let's go camping”, ”Shopping”, “At the International
conference”, “At the library“, “Animal Friends” Campaign ”, “At the table”, “At the doctor's
office”, “A telephone conversation”, “A Job Interview”, “An Interview with your role model”,
“A radio program”, “A session of the school council” and others. As a result of the application of
gaming learning technologies, according to our observations, the following learning goals are
achieved:
motivation to study the subject is increasing;
cognitive activity is stimulated;
mental activity intensifies;
information is spontaneously remembered;
associative memorization is formed;
communicative competence is being formed.

The difficulty we are facing is the grading of students in this type of activity. Therefore, often it
is necessary to develop additional criteria for assessment, so that students can make self-esteem
and mutual assessment [11].
A cluster is a graphical organization of material that shows the semantic fields of a particular
concept. The word cluster means “bundle, constellation”. Cluster compilation allows students to
think freely and openly about a topic. The student writes a key concept in the center of the sheet,
and from it draws arrows-rays in different directions, which connect this word with others, from
which the rays in turn diverge further and further. The cluster can be used at various stages of the
lesson. At the stage of challenge - to stimulate mental activity. At the stage of reflection - to
structure the educational material. At the stage of reflection - when summing up what students
have learned. The cluster can also be used to organize individual and group work both in the
classroom, at home and at home.
Reception of "field notes." The critical thinking technology offers a methodological technique
known as insert. This technique is a tool that allows the student to track their understanding of
the text they have read. Technically, it is quite simple. Students should be introduced to a
number of markers and invited to put them in pencil on the margins of a specially selected and
printed text as they read. It is necessary to mark separate paragraphs or sentences in the text.
The marks should be as follows: The “tick” sign (v) marks in the text information that is already
known to the student. He had met her before. Moreover, the source of information and the degree
of its reliability does not matter.
The plus sign (+) marks new knowledge, new information. The student puts this sign only if he
first encounters the text he has read. The minus sign (-) indicates that it runs counter to the
student’s ideas, which he thought otherwise.
The “question” sign (?) Marks what remains incomprehensible to the student and requires
additional information, arouses the desire to learn more.
This technique requires from the student not the usual passive reading, but active and attentive.
He obliges not just to read, but to read the text, track his own understanding in the process of
reading the text or perceiving any other information. In practice, students simply skip what they
did not understand. And in this case, the marking “question” obliges them to be careful and note
incomprehensible. The use of markers allows you to correlate new information with existing
ideas.
For students, the most appropriate option for completing this work with text is an oral discussion.
Usually, students easily note that what they knew was found in what they read, and with
particular pleasure report that they learned something new and unexpected for themselves from a
particular text. At the same time, it is important that students directly read the text, refer to it.
Reception "spelling cinquain." Translated from French, the word "synquane" means a poem
consisting of five lines, which is written according to certain rules. What is the meaning of this
methodological technique? Compilation of syncwine requires the student to summarize the
training material, information in brief terms, which allows you to reflect on any occasion; This is
a form of free creativity, but according to certain rules. The rules for writing syncwine are as
follows:
The first line contains one word - a noun. This is the theme of syncwine.
On the second line, you need to write two adjectives that reveal the topic of syncwine.
On the third line, three verbs are written that describe actions related to the topic of syncwine.
The fourth line contains the whole phrase, a sentence consisting of several words, with the help
of which the student expresses his attitude to the topic. This can be a catch phrase, a quote, or a
phrase composed by the student in the context of the topic.
The main goal of the "educational brainstorming" is the development of a creative type of

thinking. Therefore, the choice of topic for its implementation directly depends on the number of
possible solutions to a particular problem. “Brainstorming training” is usually conducted in
groups of 5-7 people.
The first stage is the creation of a bank of ideas, possible solutions to the problem. Any offers are
accepted and recorded on the board or poster. Criticism and commenting is not allowed.
Regulations - up to 15 minutes.
The second stage is a collective discussion of ideas and suggestions. At this stage, the main thing
is to find the rational in any of the proposals, try to combine them into a whole.
The third stage is the selection of the most promising solutions in terms of the resources
available at the moment. This stage can even be delayed in time and carried out in the next
lesson.
Reception "essay writing". The meaning of this technique can be expressed in the following
words: "I am writing in order to understand what I think." This is a free letter on a given topic, in
which independence, manifestation of individuality, discussion, originality of solving a problem,
argumentation are appreciated. Typically, an essay is written directly in the classroom after
discussing the problem and takes no more than 5 minutes.
I consider the project method to be one of the leading in the formation of students' speech
competencies, the ability to use a foreign language as an instrument of intercultural
communication and interaction. Therefore, I consider one of the main tasks to develop students'
skills in project activities. Working in the project team, students are involved in an active
dialogue of cultures, using knowledge and skills in English in new non-standard situations. My
students go to school scientific and practical conferences with research, there is experience in
participating in a city conference.
Project activities are widely used in English classes in high school. Project activities are aimed at
solving communicative problems, focused on the personality of the student, develops motivation
and creativity of teachers and students. In the process of working on the project, there is an
integrated development of all types of speech activity and a combination of collective, pair and
group work. Project activities are of particular interest to high school students, as they know how
and know a lot, and work on projects helps them to realize their knowledge, skills. It begins at
the stage of formation of speech skills and ends at the stage of development of the skill with the
presentation of the project and its protection. The work consists of the following steps:
1. Definition of the topic.
2. Definition of the final result.
3. Discussion and planning of the project.
4. Collection of information.
5. Information processing.
6. Design of the project.
7. Presentation of the project.
8. Evaluation of the project.
Conclusion Thus, we can conclude that the use of modern technology in the lessons of a foreign
(English) language is the most effective means of developing cognitive motivation of students,
which involves the active cooperation of the teacher and student and students with each other. It
is necessary to note the positive emotional mood of students towards each other, to the lesson as
a whole, as well as their increased activity, desire to broaden their horizons, acquire new
knowledge on the topic being studied, increase the quality of knowledge on the subject, as well
as participation in various Olympiads and competitions. The given results confirm the
effectiveness of using modern methods and techniques in teaching English.
To carry out the tasks facing teachers of foreign languages, it is necessary to constantly work on
self-education. A wide selection of methodological literature, visual aids, wide possibilities of a
computer, Internet resources provide an opportunity for creative work. I believe that it is
