Alexey V. Balastov

Abstract


This article deals with the problems of teaching adult learners foreign languages (English). With the help of multimedia, video projectors, electronic screens and networks there appear new opportunities for mass and more effective language learning, connected with the organization of the foreign language environment and visualization of the physical or informational objects of the language. Therefore it is necessary to rethink and refine a great number of issues in the foreign language teaching, including the system of relations in the paradigm "computer – adult learner," as well as the role and importance in this system of the teacher herself\himself.
