Based on the results of a survey attended by 400 second-year students of the XXXX University being involved in the experimental course, the evolution of motivational behavior in the learning process has been demonstrated. The scientific value of the study relates to the concept outline of the synergistic relationship between the motivational behavior of students and the content of the online learning course. The practical value of the study relates to the demonstration of the educational experience of constructing the concept of an effective training course with a focus on maintaining the appropriate level of motivation.

Effective use of practical project-based assignments in second foreign language teaching at a university in the “Tourism” field in the era of digital technologies

“…The author of this term, Mark Prensky, notes that "the thinking of today's students and the procedures for processing information are fundamentally different from the ways of thinking and information processes of their predecessors" (Prensky, 2001). Digital technologies are not only a tool for work but also largely determine the way of thinking and strategies of students in solving cases; they increase the level of students' motivation (Gaydarenko, Medvedeva, Solovyeva, Plakhtii, 2021). Therefore, the use of digital technologies is an integral part of the practical approach at all stages of work, from presenting the task to students and up to the presentation of the results of projectbased activities (Barakina, Popova, Gorokhova, Voskovskaya, 2021).…”

Application of Production-Oriented Approach (POA) in College English Teaching in Normal Universities

“…Some researchers also analyzed the difficulties encountered by art schools in college English teaching and described the concept and theoretical basis of output oriented methods [3][4]. In addition, some scholars emphasized the problems encountered in applied college English teaching and analyzed the reform measures for college English teachers [5][6]. POA can help improve the quality of English teaching in normal universities, thereby enabling them to more effectively promote the development of higher education in China and enhance the competitiveness of schools.…”
