The current level of development in the field of computer technologies gives a wide range of opportunities for learning efficiency increase and assures its qualitatively new level. An integral part of the reform in the system of higher education is distance learning which continues to gain importance nowadays. The objective of the research is to analyze the application peculiarities of different kinds of testing during classes in Ukrainian language (for professional purposes) as the form for knowledge check of higher education seekers under distance learning conditions in Ukraine. The defined objective assumes the performance of the following tasks: to analyze and generalize current studies concerning application peculiarities of different kinds of testing; to prepare the systematic description of testing structure charts of the discipline “Ukrainianlanguage (for professional purposes)” for higher education seekers in the Moodle system. The subject of the research involves testing as one of the most efficient method for assessment of the level of language communicative professional competence formation of the highereducation seekers during Ukrainian language (for professional purposes) classes. Research methods reflect the nature of the given article. They include empirical methods, in particular observation and description; theoretical methods, in particular analysis, generalization, classification etc. The problem of application of testing for knowledge control and assessment was the key topic in the studies of many scientists including Ukrainian researchers: O. Dzhadan, N. Holokoz, R. Kyzyma, N. Kozhemiako, I. Mezhuieva etc. and foreign observers: D. Vilford, D.Hlass, F. Devidson, Dzh. Stenli etc. The educators’ concern in testing as in the method of learning individualization comes from the efficiency increase of the educational process and optimum favorableness for individual work of every education seeker. In situations of total transition toward distancelearning at all the institutions of education the importance of testing as the form of knowledge check continues to increase and requires improvement.According to the didactic aim of the Ukrainian language (for professional purposes) classes different types for knowledge control of education seekers have been applied. Consequently, depending on the type of control: precheck, current check, thematic check, final check – different kinds of testing have been applied. The article contains the illustration oftesting structure charts of the discipline “Ukrainian language (for professional purposes)”. The application of testing as the system of tasks with specific presentation and contents has been justified during Ukrainian language (for professional purposes) classes in case of distance learning at institutions of higher education in Ukraine. Testing is a necessary step forthe development of methods of higher education seekers’ knowledge control and assessment. The research prospects of the other aspects of defined problem are completely valid.
