- Abstract
The article describes the examples of collaborative learning with the use of information technologies. In the first example we consider learning English for academic purposes in two teams that prepare reading and listening comprehension assignments focused on the same lexical topic for each other. The assignments are prepared with the use of such Internet resources as online dictionaries, thesauruses and YouTube videos. The groups exchange the assignments in class, do each other’s assignments and then get involved in the classroom discussion actively using and consolidating the academic vocabulary from the text and the video. The second example concerns the discipline "Translation training with the use of information technologies”, in which student collaboration proves to be effective. Stages of fulfilling joint translation tasks and student-teacher activities are exemplified and briefly described. The third example of collaboration is an examination task in the elective discipline “Electronic resources of translator”. This task was initially fulfilled by students at their translation practice according to the algorithm used at one of the translation companies in St.Petersburg, with the use of Memsource system.
