Raising the level of motivation of economics students for studying English using the MyEnglishlab Blended learning platform

The primary task of today's higher education is to ensure efficient and quality training of economics students. At present, this training cannot be provided without modern approaches to education, which make lessons productive and interesting not only for students who freely use modern electronic devices but also for teachers as they provide optimization of the learning process. One of the current methods of foreign language teaching with active use of information technology is the use of the MyEnglishLab interactive platform for learning English. The paper presents an analysis of the platform's possibilities as an innovative tool for teaching English to economics students in the blended learning format that focuses on the development of communication skills, enhances the individualization of learning, and forms sustainable motivation for foreign language activities. The results of the experimental study convincingly testify to the positive changes in the distribution of motives for learning English and the attitude of future economists to mastering a foreign language. This confirms the efficiency of using the platform in the professional foreign language training of students and exerting a positive influence on their motivational sphere.
