Specifics of Pedagogical Speech in Distance Learning

From the perspective of the activity approach, the author examines the difficulties faced by university teachers when conducting classes in a digital environment (in distance learning). The research objectives are: 1) conceptual analysis of the content, specifics, and conceptual modeling of the structure of pedagogical speech; and 2) conducting field research (observation) from 2020 to 2023. A conceptual model of pedagogical speech was created and proposed, consisting of oral speech, written speech, and nonverbal speech. The field research (observation) showed that in the conditions of distance learning, the existing shortcomings and limitations of pedagogical speech intensified. The majority of university teachers during the field research demonstrated significant difficulties with oral, written, and non-verbal speech in online classes. An analysis of the specifics of pedagogical speech in distance learning in the TIMS program from 2020 to 2023 was carried out. Practical recommendations for using pedagogical speech as a tool in the digital environment are provided.
