THE USE OF THE TEST ENGLISH ONLINE PLATFORM AS A TOOL FOR SHAPING THE STUDENT'S COGNITIVE ORIENTATION IN THE PROCESS OF LEARNING A FOREIGN LANGUAGE

The relevance of the research is determined by the need to integrate modern technologies into the process of learning foreign languages at universities to shape students' cognitive orientation. Since traditional teaching methods do not meet modern requirements, an important tool is the use of online platforms, in particular Test English. This platform provides opportunities for effective knowledge testing, self-assessment of language proficiency, and contributes to the development of students' cognitive and language skills through interactive methods. The process of forming foreign language competence at universities is interdisciplinary in nature, combining linguistic knowledge, the development of communication and cultural competencies, and also fostering readiness for professional mobility in a globalized world. In the context of digitalization of the educational process, online platforms become an important tool for ensuring personalized learning, interactivity, independence, and the development of students' digital literacy. The study emphasizes the importance of using information and communication technologies (ICT) to enhance students' cognitive orientation and to form motivation for learning foreign languages through interactive tasks. It is determined that the integration of such technologies into the learning process allows for the creation of an environment for open communication and support for individual educational trajectories. The article discusses the use of the Test English online platform as a tool for developing students' cognitive orientation in the process of learning foreign languages, particularly English. The advantages of this platform, such as knowledge testing, access to authentic materials, training of all language skills, which ensures an integrated approach to learning and stimulates critical thinking and reflection, are highlighted. The conclusion is that effective cognitive orientation formation requires the use of innovative approaches such as ICT, which contribute to the development of professional competence, independence, and critical thinking in students. The prospects for further research are related to conducting a comparative analysis of different online platforms for learning foreign languages in order to compare their impact on the formation of cognitive orientation in university students.
