Teaching foreign language monologue speech of high school students in conditions of distance learning

The widespread introduction of distance learning in secondary schools during the spread of the coronavirus infection COVID-19 had a significant impact on the development of new methods of teaching aspects of a foreign language and types of foreign language speech activity based on distance technologies. Mastering the skills of monologue speech is one of the requirements for the level of mastering a foreign language by students by the time they graduate from a secondary school. At the same time, the development of methods for developing these skills through remote technologies was not the subject of a separate study, which determined the purpose and relevance of this study. Based on the analysis of scientific literature, we develop methods for developing the skills of monologue speech of high school students in the context of distance learning. The methods includes three stages – installation-technological, procedural and evaluation – and fourteen corresponding steps: 1) goal, objectives, subject of the project, evaluation criteria; 2) technical issues of project implementation; 3) discussion of information security issues; 4) students mastering new active vocabulary; 5) immersion of students in the problems of the monologue; 6) search for the necessary information on the Internet; 7) processing of received foreign language materials; 8) compiling the text of the monologue; 9) recording and posting student podcasts; 10) watching podcasts by students; 11) online discussion of podcasts by students; 12) evaluation of podcasts by the teacher; 13) the teacher evaluates the participation of students in the network discussion of podcasts; 14) self-assessment and reflection of students.
