Abstract:

The article explains media education instruments, social networks, platforms and Internet resources specifically, both as a tool for a creative English language pedagogue to provide knowledge to would-be teachers and as an urgent mean to develop education applicants’ communicative skills. The author proves the fact it is a teacher’s orientation to an individual cooperation model with higher education applicants that works as a main condition for effective formation of communicative competence. The model provides a dialogue communication in an educational process. Correspondingly, these goals are the ones the media resources are aimed at. The article demonstrates that while using descriptive and illustrative technologies, a teacher mainly accentuates at showing the final content of the educational material. In this case, the information is given within monologues. Thus, here a dialogue is almost omitted. It causes many challenges in an educational process because of a low level of communicative skills, the impossibility to get a wide answer from a student including his own evaluation. Since, it is the development of a student-student and student-teacher cooperation which is vital to solve the problem. In other words, it is important to create the communicative justified life situations to be personally important for students. It results in the display of both the need for speech activity and in developing opinion and speech arrangement. Today many teachers all over the world provide an active implementation of the media space instruments to achieve the following goals: to revise or consolidate the material studied at an educational establishment with mini-quizzes; to apply them in teaching some aspects of the English language (vocabulary, grammar etc.); to expend the applicants’ knowledge on the country study; to provide an additional language practice, work on the skills and abilities at extra-curriculum time; to support / develop a sustained intrinsic motivation to study English.

Keywords: would-be teachers, teaching the English language, communicative competence, media space, social networks, social Internet resources.
