Abstract

The paper deals with the pedagogical aspects of blended learning implementation in the educational process of undergraduates majoring in computer science. Certain peculiarities of blended learning for foreign language teaching have been presented. The design principles of a blended course for one term as well as the practice of its functioning have been discussed. The blended English for Specific Purposes course for computer science students with the focus on critical thinking skills formation and development has been introduced. One specific profession-related theme studying within the blend has been described. The experience of applying authentic demonstration videos in the English language as contents of tasks for critical thinking skills enhancing has been propounded. Practical aspects of carrying out a 30 multiple-choice question test for determining the undergraduates' critical thinking skills level have been presented.
