Abstract

This article examines the possibilities of using database management systems using Microsoft Access as an example and their role in the process of teaching foreign languages ​​in educational institutions. The main advantages of using databases for organizing the educational process, their efficiency and ease of use for both teachers and students are highlighted.

Particular attention is paid to the analysis of the possibilities of creating and organizing educational materials, planning lessons, integrating multimedia elements and automating the learning process. Methods for creating educational and methodological resources using Microsoft Access are studied and analysed, in particular, the development of interactive dictionaries, test tasks and text materials that contribute to the study of lexical units within specific topics. Such databases can contain a large number of words and expressions with the possibility of their systematization by categories, level of complexity or topics, which greatly facilitates the process of memorizing new vocabulary. Separate attention is paid to the advantages of using Microsoft Access as a tool for organizing the educational process and its significance in the context of digitalization of education.

The possibilities of monitoring student performance, creating automated reports on learning outcomes and a personalized approach to knowledge assessment are analysed. Traditional methods of learning foreign languages ​​are compared with modern approaches based on the use of databases. The issue of developing language practice and improving students' language competencies through the integration of digital technologies into the educational process is also considered. The use of tools such as Microsoft Access contributes to increased motivation for learning, the development of independent work skills and more effective assimilation of the material, which is an important factor in the training of specialists with a high level of proficiency in a foreign language.
