Swot Analysis of Moodle Platform Application in the Assessment of Foreign Language Knowledge

In this paper, we consider the use of the learning management system Moodle at every stage of assessing student's knowledge during the process of mastering a foreign language. The feature is the analysis of the knowledge assessment system through the SWOT method used in management consulting for situational analysis and determining an action plan. Questionnaire was conducted among students of Moscow State University of Food Production, as well as informal interviews with specialists in the field of teaching foreign languages. The results showed that evaluating students exclusively with the e-learning system without the intervention of an educator cannot replace traditional assessment methods since learning a foreign language implies the development of communicative competence.
