“…But, summarizing the conducted research, K.N. Volchenkova concludes [37] that graduate students have a low level of cognitive academic thinking, critical reading and writing skills necessary for writing academic papers and speaking in graduate school. In addition, graduate students lack English language skills.…”

Introduction. The rapid development of digital technologies, online format of the educational process due to the spread of Covid-19 have actualized online learning in universities. The combination of work and postgraduate studies by young scientists, limited time frames, low motivation make it necessary to find the optimal ways to organize the educational process in a foreign language. The considered online course provides young scientists with the opportunity to improve the level of foreign language communicative competence in academic and research fields. Purpose of the article: to improve the effectiveness of the online foreign language course for young scientists. Research methods. The experiment involved 445 first- and second-year graduate students of South Ural State University. To determine the effectiveness of the online course in the program of foreign language study in graduate school and increase the level of foreign language communicative competence the following methods were used: method of pedagogical experiment, method of observation, econometric method of mathematical statistics Difference in Differences (DID). The method of questionnaires was used to identify the educational needs of graduate students. The B.D. Jones's MUSIC® Model of Motivation was chosen as the methodological basis for the redesign of the online course. The relevance and completeness of the strategies of the B.D. Jones's MUSIC® Model of Motivation according to graduate students’ opinions were tested using a parametric Student's t-test with dependent sampling. Results. As a result of the experiment aimed at improving the effectiveness of the online foreign language course for graduate students, positive dynamics in the level of foreign language communication competence of graduate students in the experimental group compared with students in the control group was verified by the Change criterion, which reflects the difference in the results of the PhD Foreign Language Exam of graduate students, recorded by DID: "excellent" – (Change > 12%), "good" – (Change < 9.5%), "satisfactory" – (Change < 2.5%). Discussion and conclusion. It was proved that the identified factors to improve the effectiveness of the online course for young scientists (redesign of the online course, taking into account the educational needs of graduate students) determined the positive dynamics of the level of foreign language communication competence of graduate students.

Цель исследования заключается в анализе точек зрения преподавателей иностранного языка на дистанционное обучение в период, который мы определяем теперь как постковидный; на оптимальное соотношение форм реального и виртуального обучения; на основные трудности, которые они испытывают при переходе на гибридный формат обучения; на изменения качества жизни преподавателей и их эмоционального состояния. Основой для исследования послужили анонимные ответы 120 преподавателей иностранного языка (ИЯ) на вопросы онлайн-анкеты. По результатам проведенного анкетирования установлено, что 46 % преподавателей ИЯ полностью адаптировались к дистанционному формату преподавания, однако 39 % работают дистанционно с большим нежеланием. Практически половина опрошенных (47,5 %) считает, что онлайн-обучение является эффективным только в сочетании с очной формой обучения. Для 63 % преподавателей главной трудностью онлайн-преподавания на данный момент является накопленная физическая и психологическая усталость. Оптимальным соотношением очных и онлайн-занятий при смешанном формате обучения для достижения его наибольшей эффективности, по мнению опрошенных преподавателей, является 50–70 % занятий в очном формате. Преимущества онлайн-обучения преподаватели видят в более рациональном использовании своего рабочего времени (40 %), возможностью совмещения его с другой работой. Дистанционное обучение сказывается на здоровье преподавателей. Полученные результаты исследования рекомендованы для пересмотра условий работы преподавателей как при онлайн-, так и при смешанном формате обучения с целью повышения качества их профессиональной деятельности в условиях смешанного и дистанционного обучения. Проведенное исследование, основанное на эмпирических показателях, представляет интерес для специалистов, занимающихся вопросами цифровизации образовательной системы. The purpose of the study is to analyze foreign language teachers’ views on distance education (DE) in the period that is defined now as post-COVID period; on the optimal ratio of the online and offline forms of education; on main difficulties while shifting to hybrid format of education; on the changes in quality of life among teachers and in their emotional state. The anonymous answers of 120 foreign language (FL) teachers served as a basis for the research. They answered questions in the online survey. It was found 46 % of FL teachers have fully adapted to the distance teaching, but 39 % of the surveyed work remotely with great reluctance. Half of the respondents believe that online learning is effective only in combination with full-time education. For 63 % of teachers, the main difficulty of online teaching is the accumulated physical and psychological fatigue. The optimal ratio of offline and online classes in a blended learning format in order to achieve its greatest effectiveness is 50–70 % of offline classes. Teachers perceive the advantages of online learning in the more rational use of their working time (40 %), the possibility of combining it with other work. Distance learning affects the health of teachers. The received results are recommended to use for the review of teachers’ workplace conditions in online as well as in blended learning with the aim to upgrade the quality of their professional activity in blended or distance learning. The research that is based on the empirical data would be useful for specialists in digitalization of the educational system.
