Innovative aspects of basic and foreign language training of maritime transport specialists

The paper deals with pedagogical innovations related to the basic and foreign language training at Maritime University. The research aims to develop didactic means of training in the context of interactive technologies and the digitalization of maritime education. Considering contradictions between increasing opportunities of distance learning and insufficient development of its didactic support, we highlighted the problem, the subject, and the hypothesis of the study. The results of the experimental training course show that level of training in the experimental group of students is significantly higher than in the control group. The results obtained confirm the research hypothesis that implementing didactic complexes in distance learning format with computer support increases the efficiency of professional competencies and digital literacy skills developing in the course of training.
