Intensification of learning a foreign language using computer technology Introduction lesson english language computer National Compulsory Educational Standard of the republic of Kazakhstan states as one of the primary goals of education «development of the multilingual personality with the basic national and world cultural values, ready for socio-cultural interaction and self-realization» along with «building up communicative competence on the basis of state and other socially important languages acquisition». Thus, the schooling system faces the task of presenting new approaches to learning, guiding children to such ways of thinking and interacting, that would be useful in solving any problem arising in front of them at any age. Acquisition of home and world culture achievements; state, Russian and foreign languages acquisition are among objectives of system of education in Kazakhstan. The final qualitative result of realization of the foreign language education content is defined as intercultural communicative competence. The model of education belongs to competence-building ones, which are oriented on the development of personality that can be the subject of intercultural communication. The theme of our research is «Intensification of teaching English with the help of computer technologies». The urgency of investigation in this sphere is connected with the fact that today we have reached the stage where changes occur so rapidly that each of us has continuously to work out a practical code of behavior for a better adjustment. The nature and direction of changes taking place around the world, and more precisely within the educational system, reinforce the need for a new approach based mainly on the recent technologies of the century. Thanks to the fact, that our society belongs to the age of computer technologies, we have an opportunity to process data more efficiently. Moreover this opportunity allows to process more information, than we were able to do before. Huge volume of knowledge, which was storing by mankind during centuries, makes to look for other ways of organization of teaching process. The computer has brought a revolution in education. Unlike most machines that are capable of only a few tasks, computer can be programmed to perform a great number of tasks and thus becomes a useful tool in the hand of teachers and learners helping them at any stage of learning process: presentation, learning, and practice including language use. However, even nowadays the influence of computerization affects indirectly aims and content of high education devoted to foreign languages. Teacher of new generation should be able to choose and use computer technologies which suit content and purposes of teaching and which will help pupils to succeed in harmonious way taking into consideration their personalities. So, analysis of research studies shows us, that in spite of considerable advancement in realization of different computer technologies, their potential is used insufficient because of lack of information about multimedia material, algorithm of its designing and methodological recommendations how to use it. Thereby, insufficient readiness of methodology in teaching English with the help of computer technologies is the main reason of choice this problem for our research. It consists in search and realization of different types of computer technologies which will be able to improve level of pupils’ knowledge on English. The purpose of our work is theoretical examination of major methods of using computer technologies and approbation one of them in the process of teaching English. As consistent with mentioned purpose, the hypothesis of our research is based on supposition, that the process of teaching English will run more successfully in the case of designing a model using computer technologies which will take into account peculiarities of teaching English and wear innovative trend at the same time. For realization of formulated aims we need to solve the following tasks: · make a research of theoretical literature (psychological, methodological etc.) which deals with methods of teaching using computer technologies; · substantiate in theory and check in practice effectiveness of computer designed complex of lessons; · design methodological recommendations which are based upon results of research.
