MODERN APPROACHES AND TECHNOLOGIES OF ADAPTIVE FOREIGN LANGUAGE TEACHING FOR ADULTS IN THE CONTEXT OF LIFELONG LEARNING

Purpose. The article delves into contemporary methods and technologies for adaptive foreign language instruction designed for adults within the realm of lifelong learning. Methods. To solve the tasks, a set of general scientific (analysis, synthesis, analogy, comparison, contrast, generalization, classification, systematization) and empirical (analysis of philosophical, psychological, pedagogical, methodological literature) methods. Results. In the age of globalization and rapid changes in society, adult learners place high demands on their professional development, with foreign language fluency serving as a crucial component of their competitive edge. The imperative of implementing adaptive technologies and andragogical principles to enhance learning efficacy is thoroughly examined. The focus lies on key andragogical principles, including the emphasis on self-directed learning, collaborative activities, tapping into life experiences, personalized learning, systematic approach, and the relevance of learning outcomes. The article places significant emphasis on the importance of considering learners' life experiences and individual traits. Language learning journeys can encompass both positive and negative experiences, and instructors should leverage these experiences to cultivate a motivating and supportive learning environment. The significance of tailoring learning experiences to individual adult learners is emphasized due to their diverse goals and motivations that influence the learning journey. The article delves into adaptive technologies such as the communicative method, audiovisual approaches, control-corrective tools, and AEV (adapt-extend-variation) learning technologies, all of which enhance language acquisition effectively. The communicative method fosters active interaction between educators and learners, and audiovisual techniques aid in developing language perception and comprehension skills through visual and auditory avenues. These methods acknowledge individual learning styles and contribute to a flexible learning environment. Moreover, the concept of adaptive education, encompassing psychological, organizational, goaloriented, content, technological, and monitoring and assessment aspects of the educational process, is explored. Conclusions. Adaptive education endeavors to establish conditions that enable students to proficiently tackle educational tasks, considering their individual needs and socio-cultural context. In conclusion, the article underscores the significance of formulating and implementing adaptive educational strategies for adult learners, as these strategies account for their individual traits and requirements, paving the way for successful learning and goal achievement
