LINGUODIDACTIC APPROACHES TO TEACHING GERMAN AND THEIR POSSIBILITIES OF APPLICATION IN A DIGITAL LEARNING ENVIRONMEN
Abstract
This study investigates the linguodidactic foundations of using digital applications in German language teaching within higher education. The research aims to develop and empirically validate a model integrating digital tools into communicative language instruction. The methodology combines theoretical analysis and experimental design involving 150 philology students (77 experimental, 73 control). Results demonstrate a 13% improvement in communicative competence in the experimental group. The findings confirm that digital applications, when aligned with linguodidactic principles, significantly enhance individualized learning, student engagement, and communicative outcomes. The study contributes to EdTech and foreign language pedagogy by proposing a structured integration model grounded in digital pedagogy and competence-based education.
