Статья посвящена актуальной проблеме использования метода кейсов в образовательном процессе на занятиях по иностранному языку при онлайн и комбинированной методике обучения. Метод кейсов предполагает глубокий анализ реальных сценариев и ситуаций, что позволяет учащимся применить языковые навыки в практических контекстах. В онлайн и смешанной среде обучения кейсы можно адаптировать для имитации аутентичного использования языка, что способствует развитию критического мышления, решения проблем и коммуникативных навыков. Метод кейсов – это форма обучения, основанная на выполнении заданий и направленная на развитие коммуникативных навыков студентов и их способности принимать решения в реальных ситуациях. В результате исследования были выделены его преимущества. Это возможность сочетать совершенствование языковых навыков с другими профессиональными навыками; использование различных аудио-, видео- и медиаресурсов; предложение и создание студентами собственных кейсов; активное использование языка и совершенствование языковых навыков не только в устной речи, но и в грамматике и стилистике. Были выявлены и некоторые проблемы: более тщательный и продуманный подход к системе оценивания и отбора тем кейсов, которые бы четко соответствовали уровню студентов, их языковой компетенции и навыкам; четкий выбор темы и продолжительности работы над кейсами. Также были выделены десять этапов разработки и подготовки метода кейсов: выбор темы кейса; проведение исследования и сбор необходимых материалов; определение целей обучения; структурирование кейса; разработка языковых заданий; обеспечение языковой поддержки; поощрение и облегчение совместного обучения; проведение анализа кейса; оценка.
The article is devoted to the urgent problem of using the case study method in the educational process in foreign language classes with online and combined teaching methods. The case study method involves an in-depth analysis of real-world scenarios and situations, which allows students to apply language skills in practical contexts. In online and mixed learning environments, cases can be adapted to simulate authentic language use, which promotes critical thinking, problem solving, and communication skills. The case study method is a form of learning based on completing assignments and aimed at developing students' communication skills and their ability to make decisions in real situations. As a result of the study, its advantages were highlighted. This is an opportunity to combine the improvement of language skills with other professional skills; the use of various audio, video and media resources; the proposal and creation of students' own cases; the active use of language and the improvement of language skills not only in oral speech, but also in grammar and stylistics. Some problems were also identified: a more thorough and thoughtful approach to the assessment and selection system for case studies that would clearly correspond to the level of students, their language competence and skills; a clear choice of topic and duration of work on the cases. Ten stages of case method development and preparation were also highlighted.: selecting the topic of the case; conducting research and collecting the necessary materials; defining learning objectives; structuring the case; developing language assignments; providing language support; encouraging and facilitating collaborative learning; conducting case analysis; evaluation.
