    Didactic potential of telegram channels for English language learning in non-linguistic programs
    (Alfred Nobel University, 2024-12-27) Blynova N. M.; Bespalova N.V.; Voloboieva A.O.
    Modern technologies can make the language learning process effective and affordable. However, the problem of selecting the relevant didactic materials is still urgent. Telegram channels can become one of the efficient ways to learn foreign languages. They create the platform where users can exchange informat ion, share materials and learn in a convenient and relaxed way. The purpose of the article is to determine the potential of Telegram channels for creating additional educational materials in English for applicants of non-philological specialties. To do this, the study compares the content of Telegram channels created by non-native English speakers (Ukrainians) who have studied English as a foreign language and therefore are aware of the difficulties that students may face. We have considered the positive and negative aspects of such materials, based on practical activities, and give advice for those who want to learn English or improve their knowledge with the help of Telegram channels. The study was conducted based on a comprehensive approach employing the following methods: a content analysis of scholarly literature to determine the current state of research on the use of Telegram channels in foreign language learning in both domestic and international contexts; a comparative analysis to identify trends and best practices in the application of Internet channels for educational purposes; a content analysis to assess the educational potential of Telegram channels; and the generalisation and systematisation of approaches to utilising Telegram channel content in the learning process, particularly for overcoming language barriers, facilitating authentic communication, and enhancing the effective acquisition of a foreign language. The study investigates the didactic potential of 4 Telegram channels: FRIENDS Space, “English Language”, “Henry, kissfig” “Engluencer | English”. The comparative and descriptive analysis of these Telegram channels and ways to apply them when teaching English to students of non-philological specialties from levels A2 to C1 highlighted several posit ive points. It must be emphasized that whatever form of study a student chooses – full-time, part-time, distance, or individual, attention to a foreign language should be regular. Only immersion into even artificial, language environment makes it possible to learn the material. Also, for learning using Telegram channels to be truly effective, it is necessary to adhere to certain principles and use different methods. Among the positive aspects inherent in thematic Telegram channels, practitioners highlight a number of factors. Among them are: accessibility, relevance of content, variety of formats, interactivity, community and communicating with other channel subscribers, target audience (everyone can find a resource for their level of language proficiency). Gradual immersion in the language environment is extremely important for those who study a foreign language outside of countries where English is the main language of communication. Regular consumpt ion of content in a foreign language helps to get used to the sound of the language and start thinking in it. Learning a foreign language using Telegram channels is a convenient and effective way to improve one’s knowledge. However, to achieve the best results, the participants need to engage systematically, use a variety of materials, and actively interact with other channel subscribers.
