The authors of this article suggest a thesis about the purpose of teaching a foreign language – it is student’s communicative activities, i.e. learning a foreign language in practice. The teacher’s task is to encourage activities of every student and to create situations to develop their creative activities in a learning process. New information technologies streamline and diversify the learning process and, at the same time, open up good prospects to expand the educational framework and undoubtedly bring an incredible motivational drive and promote the principles of individualization of learning. At the current stage of development, the educational system tends to gradually shift towards learner-centered cooperation where a learner plays an active role. Non-standard technologies, encouragement of teacher’s creative pursuit and professional advancement, and implementation of innovations proved to be useful in the learning and educational process.
