Creating and testing an electronic course on the Italian language based on a TV series for students of non-linguistic universities

The article has a practice-oriented nature. The research shows the results of developing the author’s electronic course on the Italian language, stemming from methodological reflections that arose both during its writing and during its testing. The aim of this article is to present the experience of developing and testing an electronic course on the Italian language based on a TV series. The scientific novelty of the research is determined by the fact that it first justifies the possibility of using a TV series as educational material within the framework of creating an electronic course on the Italian language for students of non-linguistic universities. As a result, it is proven that the developed educational and methodological complex represents a multi-level system, which most effectively realizes its didactic potential in a semi-distance (blended) format, with active involvement of the teacher in the learning process.
