The article deals with theoretical and practical problems of optimizing traditional techniques of teaching foreign languages at higher education institutions. We use the latest achievements of the innovative technology to suggest ways of interactivizing traditional forms and tools of teaching foreign languages. We analize the details of a teacher’s professional activity, using the newest tendencies typical to the present-day higher education system: transforming teacher-centered teaching into student-centered teaching; our research looks at options of modernizing traditional exercises in order to intensify and rationalize foreign language teaching. The purpose of the study is to present and describe an integrative model incorporating all the state-of-the-art forms, methods and tools of teaching foreign languages, worked out, tested and introduced using both traditional and non-traditional and innovative technologies. It will be a self-sufficient structure aimed at forming students’ independent thinking, researching skills, and creativity.
Results of research. Thus, our teaching model include the following principles:
Firstly, classes are to be conducted in a foreign language only.
Secondly, a teacher never interrupts speaking students.
Thirdly, learning is based on doing special communicative transformative exercises.
Fourthly, a teacher is to act as a facilitator.
Fifthly, the dominant class form to be used is pairwork.
Sixthly, ICT is to be integrated as out-of-classroom clubs.
