Conclusions: Up-to-date distant learning is one of the topical and top requested forms of educational interaction between a lecturer and his/her students by means of computer and telecommunication technologies. It gives an opportunity to combine methods used for presentation of educational material (mini-modules containing quintessence of the theoretical meaning with hyperlinks to textbooks, study guides, schemes etc.) with means of student’s independent work (texts for listening and comprehending, video clips, interactive tables and schemes).

Practice of preparing mini-modules for philology students causes difficulties. As a rule, it is connected with the technicalities, designing of interactive (moving) tables and hyperlinks as well as with the design of mini-modules.
