Currently, online learning materials in Russian as a foreign language have been actively developed, which set the task of learning through various functions of social services that are popular in the modern world. The aim of the research is to identify and justify the linguodidactic potential of social networks as a means of teaching Russian as a foreign language based on the analysis of their functions and the communicative needs of users. The material of the study included different types of social services, which present educational materials for teaching Russian, available through information retrieval systems. Theoretical (analysis, comparison) and diagnostic (pedagogical observation, oral interviews with teachers and students) methods were used. The obtained results determine the specifics of teaching and learning Russian as a foreign language in social networks. The authors characterize different social groups (age, interests, communication needs), focused on the use of digital resources for learning Russian. The use of social services in teaching Russian considers communicative needs of students, their interests, implements a sociocultural approach to learning, significantly increases the number of students learning Russian, contributes to the promotion of the Russian language on the Internet.

This research aims to investigate if information and communication technologies (ICT) supported activities prepared by the researchers can contribute to academic success in developing listening skills in EFL when they are presented in a connective approach and what the participants think about the content and approach used. The sample includes fifth-grade students (aged 11-12) in different numbers in five applications carried out in seven weeks in spring term of 2020-2021 academic year. The research employed mixed method integrated action research in which quantitative data were collected through achievement tests developed by the researchers and qualitative data through participants’ and researcher’s diaries and semi-structured interview form, all collected online. A website was developed, and the ICT-supported content was presented through it to participants while all applications were carried out in online synchronous classroom sessions. The results show that in all applications there is a statistically significant difference between pre- and post-tests, indicating a moderate to high level effect on academic success in EFL listening skills. The researcher’s and participants’ diaries include mostly positive attitudes towards ICT-supported activities presented in a connective approach. Besides, data from diaries and the semistructured interview form signals various student behaviors such as retrieving information, establishing connections with peers and online sources, and discovering individually that are triggered by connective approach.
