Electronic learning tools in teaching English to non-linguistic students at the Kharkiv State Academy of Physical Culture: experience and prospects

Abstract

The article examines the experience of utilising electronic learning tools in teaching English to non-linguistic students at the Kharkiv State Academy of Physical Culture. In the context of modern educational digitalisation, integrating electronic resources into the learning process is critically important, as it enhances student motivation, stimulates cognitive engagement, and fosters creative thinking. The study employed analysis of contemporary electronic learning resources, systematisation of scholarly sources on educational digitalisation, comparison of platform functionalities, and assessment of interactivity, multimedia potential, and personalisation capabilities. The findings indicate that electronic learning tools provide multimedia presentation of content, interactive tasks, automated testing, and feedback mechanisms, improving learning efficiency. At the same time, certain limitations of platforms were identified, including challenges in integrating them into traditional instruction, limited interactivity, and the need for additional guidance for students with different levels of English proficiency. The implementation of electronic resources supports the adaptation of pedagogical methods to the requirements of the modern information environment, the development of students’ professional, communicative, and digital competencies, and the enhancement of distance and blended learning. Future development of electronic learning tools involves increasing interactivity, adapting tasks for different proficiency levels, expanding multimedia capabilities, and introducing innovative methodologies, which will further improve learning effectiveness and student engagement
