Abstract

The article deals with the role of information and communication technologies as a set of methods, software and hardware used for the collection, processing, storage, distribution and exchange of information about the state of the studied object, process or phenomenon in the educational process, in particular in teaching a foreign language. Foreign language teaching in a maritime university based on the blended learning model contributes to the effective combination of traditional methods and new educational technologies for the formation of cadets' language skills and the development of skills in all types of speech activities. Applying ICT in foreign language classes contributes to increasing motivation to learn a foreign language; improving foreign language communicative competence; increasing linguistic knowledge; expanding the scope of knowledge of the socio-cultural specificity of the country of the studied language; developing the ability and willingness to study English independently
