摘要：This paper is devoted to the author’s experience of applying the
most popular Web 2.0 technologies to mining ingeneers’ educational
process. The paper deals with incorporating such services as RSS,
weblogs, microblogs, podcasts, mashups, wikis into the process of teaching
English to future mining specialists. With the development of
globalization processes, higher education in mineral resource universities
has new objectives, i.e. training professionals capable of working
effectively in the changed conditions of the global mining industry.
Modern higher educational system has a number of specific features and
requires certain changes in the content and organizing the teaching process.
Web 2.0 opens up great opportunities for educational practice: the use of
free electronic resources used for training purposes; creation of network
content; interpersonal interaction of all the members of the educational
process, etc. The paper notes the effectiveness of implementing some Web
2.0 technologies to make education of mining engineers more realistic,
increase their motivation to become ready for professional communications
with foreign colleagues, which will help to raise mining safety and
productivity.
