In the article online platforms have been revealed, with the help of which blended learning takes place at Pavlo Tychyna Uman State Pedagogical University on the example of the discipline “Foreign Language” in the specialty of Psychology. The article considers the use of the Moodle platform as a virtual learning environment for learning a foreign language. The advantages of the platform have been indicated, in particular free access, ease of use, a large number of activities that increase the students’ motivation and interest. At the same time, the difficulties in working in the Moodle information environment system for both students and teachers have been highlighted. It has been determined that technical and computer training of both teachers and students is important to achieve the set results. It is recommended to conduct trainings and seminars to improve the professional level of foreign language teachers who administer Moodle courses and students who use them. The method of distance education implementation and the category of synchronous and asynchronous learning have been highlighted, and the advantages of each category have been determined. It has been determined that in synchronous language learning all participants simultaneously, although not in one place, are connected to each other through a common network (video conferencing), in asynchronous learning there is an opportunity to benefit in the classroom at any time, regardless of time constraints (video blogs, students can download recorded materials and use them). It is determined that the use of the online application MyEnglishLab provides the teacher with an automatic report on typical mistakes of students, the teacher forms a clear picture of language difficulties of each student, so he can take time to eliminate them in class, choose exercises and tasks to prevent recurrence mistakes in the future.
