Relevance of the issue stated in the article is determined by the fact that there is a lack of research devoted to the methods of teaching English and German collocations. The aim of our work is to determine methods of teaching English and German collocations to Russian university students studying foreign languages through experimental testing. The result of our study is to create a classification of collocations teaching methods. In our study we follow the broadside approach in respect of the volume of collocations applying the terminology of foreign and Russian linguists. A model of effective methods of teaching collocations to junior language students has been introduced, by using the modelling method. Collocations with a complicated semantic structure cannot be understood without some special knowledge and require, as a result, special methods of teaching. The models of exercises suggested can be used effectively by first-year students at German and English classes.

Distance education in a professional higher school is of particular importance in terms of fundamental changes in modern educational institutions. This form of training together with the expansion of information technologies can effectively solve the problem of training students and life-long learning. Distance education is able to solve the problem of teacher training more effectively than any other method of education. In the same context, the opportunities of distance education to develop verbal and cogitative activities and information culture are considered. As a result of the use of network principles, the integrity of educational institutions can be effectively guaranteed and realized in continuity of principles and approaches to the management of different functional and territorial subsystems, and in the more distant future - its equitable integration into the world community.

Science education researchers have turned their attention to the use of images in textbooks, both because pages are heavily illustrated and because visual literacy is an important aptitude for science students. Text-image integration in the textbook is described here as composition schemes in increasing degrees of integration: prose primary (PP), prose subsumed (PS), and fully integrated (FI). These schemes enable experimental research with authentic media without diminishing complexity. Seventh grade subjects used media variants in a within-subjects design (N = 158). Comprehension tests revealed higher comprehension for FI over PP media variants in one of three sessions (P = 0.0073). FI scores were highest for the other tests but not significantly so (P&gt;0.05). A post-test situational interest measure revealed a significant preference pattern of FI&gt;PS&gt;PP. As textbooks follow a general PP strategy, expansion and confirmation of the results would suggest increasing the degree of text--image integration for middle school science textbooks.

Learners were separated into groups representing the interests of parties that typically negotiate environmental affairs in real world scenarios (conservationists, scientists, politicians, NGOs, stakeholders), and tasked with preparing role-play simulations using a variety of flipped learning techniques. Learners' carbon footprints were monitored pre and post intervention, and CO2 emission scores were used as a proxy for their behaviour towards the environment. Five role-play simulations were run overall. These were integrated with case studies associated with fisheries issues, and climate change. Anonymous participant surveys indicated that learners responded positively to the intervention, and participants' CO[subscript 2] emission scores improved significantly (T[subscript 1,59] = 2.723, p = 0.009). In the context of environmental sciences, learners that engage in the integrated role-play and case study approach may benefit from flipped learning techniques to prepare their simulations, and gain confidence from self-actualizing moments of achievement when they realize an improvement in their environmental behaviour.
