E-learning as Part of Self-Regulated Foreign Languages Acquisition: A Case Study of Bauman Moscow State Technical University

Published:15 January 2020Publication History

ABSTRACT

The paper considers a case study whether students of Bauman Moscow State Technical University (BMSTU) master foreign languages due to their autonomous different aspect activities via both traditional and computer employed language activities by the use of Internet and other digital technology services. The current research explores how students apply self-independent studies in spare time through the immersion into digital media (computer learning software, pocket edition software, e-books, magazines, e-mail messages, WhatsApp and social net conversations, videos, podcasts, You Tube documentaries and movies, news broadcasts, texts, graphics, drawings the current data attachments and more). The purpose of the study is assessing the students current language expertise and its enlarging by means of additional learning matter via asynchronous e-learning. Methods used for the research included a theoretical study of the e-learning issue as well as the empirical data instruments (google. form questionnaire, English for General Purposes test compiled in accordance with the International standards, pedagogical monitoring, experiment, results calculation in Microsoft Excel 2010 program). Students majoring in Engineering and economics (n=155) participated in the experiment on comparing their linguistics outcomes obtained from the comprehensive lifespan learning both by teacher-management and self-independent immersion to e-learning. The research results show that self-regulated engagement in language both by traditional didactic materials and authentic e-materials help develop students' collaborative and communicative skills. The motivation for e-learning can be an efficient tool for further holistic and professional development of students.
