The paper considers the problem of using the method of group discussion in the educational process as one of the most important educational problems during the global pandemic Covid-19 in the context of the global lockdown. The group discussion proved a most effective tool in teaching foreign languages. There have been discussed the ways to solve the problem. The effectiveness of the introduction of online technologies into the educational process is stated. The practice of working with students in a distance mode using the Zoom program (March – December 2020) has been submitted. The advantages and disadvantages of the new teaching method are analyzed. The significant advantages of Zoom over other online platforms are the ability to use brainstorming methods, group discussion, case study, and dividing a group within a conference into microgroups. The disadvantages of using Zoom in teaching a foreign language are insignificant and solvable, they are mostly technical problems.
