Anotation

This article analyzes the factors that contribute to the successful learning of a foreign language. The questions of the dependence of the effectiveness of training on socio-demographic, motivational, and temporal signs are revealed. The main content of the study is the analysis of the difference in the methods of teaching a foreign language to people with an advanced or professional level of foreign language proficiency from people with a lower level. The types and types of teaching a foreign language, services, platforms for learning foreign languages, individual tools - chatbots with artificial intelligence are characterized. It has been clarified that the motive of learning a foreign language is associated with cognitive, communicative, emotional motives of students, as well as with the degree of cognitive activity in mastering foreign language communicative competence. As part of the study, testing was carried out in order to identify predictors of the effectiveness of the learning process, empirical methods and statistical analysis were used. The results show that the effectiveness of learning depends on the regularity and duration of classes, as well as on whether it is possible to integrate a foreign language into everyday life. The ways of increasing the effectiveness of teaching a foreign language are proposed.

Keywords
