The transmission of information is one of the most accessible common phenomena in the modern world. For the convenient dissemination of scientific knowledge, it is enough to use the virtual environment of the Internet. Technologies of the present time make it possible to freely use the computer and the web space for learning at any level, either at a school or university. Open access to learning is essential for today's society, which strives to meet the growing demand for education, regardless of location of educational process. Distance learning technologies make it possible to reach large groups of people in remote areas of the country, people with different forms of disabilities and those who, for whatever reason, are not able to study in person. Teaching foreign languages, in particular Russian as a foreign language, today takes place with the help of modern programs that facilitate classes in direct interaction with the teacher or independently. Therefore, when building a model of teaching Russian as a foreign language using distance technologies, it is very important to create an educational language environment that includes teaching materials, a set of tasks, the organization of student communication not only in asynchronous, but also in synchronous, including voice, modes. The article discusses the use of distance platforms for learning foreign languages, highlights the functions of a teacher in organizing the process of teaching Russian as a foreign language using distance technologies. The article proposed by the author reflects the work of the founders of the theory of distance learning in Russian as a foreign language E.G. Azimova, L.A. Dunaeva, O.I. Rudenko-Morgun, A.N. Bogomolov. The author of the article defines the criteria for the selection of linguodidactic materials using distance technologies and the specifics of the task system. The research carried out within the framework of this article allows us to conclude that distance learning should not and cannot replace traditional education. The use of distance technologies can increase the motivation of students to learn, their responsibility, the level of self-realization, as well as form communication skills and cultural competence.

The paper analyzes the results of an associative experiment conducted with second-year students (SibADI, Omsk) in the fall of 2020 with the aim of assessing the experience of the mass introduction of distance learning technologies, assessing the receptive reactions of students, identifying the degree of emotional comfort of learning during a pandemic, the difficulties they had to be faced, their sources and the degree of recurrence. The results of the study became the basis for the development of methodological recommendations in order to increase the degree of effectiveness of the educational process in a distance format. The introduction reveals the essence of the concept of distance education, its goals and objectives at different stages in different countries. A number of advantages provided by the distance learning format and its relevance in the modern world are highlighted. The results of the experiment showed that not all students are psychologically ready for a sharp transition to distance learning. The wide public resonance aroused increased interest in researching the problems that have arisen in this educational sphere. The associative experiment took place in two stages. The first question was aimed at identifying the preferences of the form of education of full-time students. The question was: What form of education do you prefer full-time or distance learning? The responses ratio was 70:30. Seventy percent of the surveyed respondents preferred full-time education, the rest distance learning. In the second part, they were invited to take part in an associative experiment to reconstruct a fragment of the national linguistic picture of the world in a certain historical period. Through an associative experiment, we were able to identify and analyze the psychoemotional assessment of the components and their frequency within the modified concept of distance education; practical recommendations of a didactic nature were proposed for reducing negative connotations and removing psychological barriers in the process of distance learning.

With the onset of 2020, people realized the need and relevance of information technology and, in particular, distance learning. This led to a significant change in the education strategy, the most important feature of which is the widespread use of various information technologies. At the moment, everyone uses Internet resources to carry out their activities at a distance. At the moment, due to the current situation in the country and in the world, the relevance of distance learning has become undeniable. The specificity of teaching foreign languages reveals both general problems of distance learning, as well as characteristic only for the discipline «Foreign language». With the decrease in study time, the problem of increasing the effectiveness of teaching arose, the solution of which is being addressed by teachers of foreign languages. Naturally, this entailed analysis and revision of curricula and plans, and, as a result, the search for new approaches and techniques to optimize the learning process in new conditions. Distance learning allows to implement individual study programs for students in the study of foreign languages. The article considers distance learning, analyze its advantages and shortcomings, explore ways of its implementation in the study of foreign languages ​​at universities and to demonstrate the role of computer technologies and Internet resources in the development of foreign language communicative competence and the students’ independent work skills forming. Distance learning is based on modern information and communication technologies of training and advanced training. Distance learning technologies can be seen as a natural stage in the evolution of the traditional education system. Thanks to technological progress, full-time and distance learning were able to integrate, complementing, and in some cases replacing each other. Thanks to the competence of teachers in this area, integration has become possible and does not harm the educational process, but, on the contrary, improves and effectively complements it.

Modern distance learning technologies offer unique opportunities for organizing the educational process. In the world practice distance education occupies more than 60% of the educational services market. However in Russia distance education has so far remained in low demand. The forced transition to the distance learning format contributed to the revision of the methodic potential of distance learning technologies and distance learning in general. In view of this, teachers had a lot of questions regarding the organization of feedback with the training group, the transfer of educational materials to distance education platforms, the implementation of perfor-mance monitoring and much more. The issue of developing the competence of foreign language teachers has become particularly relevant in the pedagogical environment. Due to the lack of appropriate skills teachers had to adapt to the new educational conditions and completely rebuild the educational process. The formation of an educational environment with the use of distance learning technologies in teaching a foreign language is a time requirement that needs a modern solution to the tasks set. We consider the terminological apparatus on the topic of the problem under study, determine the advantages and disadvantages of using these technologies, the forms of organizing distance learning as well as the content of the competence of a foreign language teacher at a university.
