STRATEGY FOR FOREIGN LANGUAGE BLENDED LEARNING
IMPLEMENTATION INTO THE EDUCATIONAL PROCESS

The relevance of the research is explained by the current tendency of implementing foreign language blended learning into the educational process at European universities. The paper deals with the main goals of blended learning and strategies of its implementation, which should be taken into account in order to improve the foreign language teaching in Ukraine. The strategy of implementing foreign language blended learning into the educational process of any higher educational establishment should consist of the following stages: the definition of goals, the selection of a particular model, the implementation of technical, personnel, methodological and regulatory support. Blended learning should be used as a dominant instructional mode in higher education for foreign languages teaching. The study of the European educational experience can help apply the blended learning techniques efficiently, and promote research exchanges in the educational process of higher educational establishments in Ukraine. Blended learning is a powerful technology to be implemented into the modern foreign language learning model of Ukrainian education in order to approach to the level of European educational system.
