Self-recording and playback exercises promote self-correction.
Cultural Sensitivity. Teaching phonetics should include exposure to regional accents and variations to prepare learners for diverse communicative contexts. Challenges in Teaching Phonetics
Learner Anxiety. Pronunciation practice can be intimidating, particularly for adults. Creating a supportive learning environment is essential.
Resource Limitations. Access to advanced tools like VR or speech analysis software may be restricted in some educational settings.
Time Constraints. Comprehensive phonetics training requires significant time investment, which may not be feasible in standard curricula.
Conclusion. The teaching of phonetics in foreign languages has evolved to incorporate a mix of traditional and modern methods. By leveraging technology, personalized feedback, and immersive techniques, educators can enhance learners' pronunciation skills and communicative competence. Future innovations promise even greater opportunities for effective phonetics instruction, though challenges such as accessibility and learner anxiety must be addressed. References:

Abstract
The tandem method, a collaborative and interactive approach to learning, has gained significant attention in higher education, particularly for master's students. This article explores the application of the tandem method in graduate education, focusing on its impact on knowledge exchange, interdisciplinary learning, and skill development. The method's advantages, limitations, and potential for integration with digital tools are also analyzed.
Introduction. In the dynamic landscape of higher education, traditional teaching methods often fail to
meet the evolving demands of students and employers. Master's programs, characterized by their focus on advanced knowledge and research, require innovative teaching strategies. The tandem method, which emphasizes peer-to-peer interaction and collaborative learning, aligns with these demands, fostering a deeper understanding of subjects and developing transferable skills.
What Is the Tandem Method? The tandem method involves pairing two individuals to learn from and teach each other. Typically used in language education, this method pairs learners with complementary skills to exchange knowledge. When adapted for master's programs, the tandem method facilitates interdisciplinary collaboration and peer mentoring. For instance, a student specializing in computer science can partner with a management student to work on a project that combines technical and strategic expertise.
Application in Teaching Master's Students
Knowledge Exchange
The tandem method allows students to share their expertise, enabling reciprocal learning.
It is particularly effective in interdisciplinary programs where students can benefit from diverse perspectives.
Skill Development. Enhances communication, teamwork, and problem-solving skills, which are crucial in professional environments.
Promotes active engagement with course material, as students take on both learner and mentor roles.
Interdisciplinary Learning. Facilitates the integration of multiple disciplines, fostering innovative solutions to complex problems.
Encourages students to think beyond their academic silos and develop holistic approaches.
Practical Applications. Can be implemented in project-based courses, research collaborations, and peerreview sessions.
Supports the development of joint presentations, reports, or case studies.
Advantages of the Tandem Method
Enhanced Motivation
The reciprocal nature of the tandem method creates a sense of responsibility and motivation to perform
well.
Active Learning
Students engage more deeply with the material through teaching and discussion.
Flexibility
Can be adapted to various subjects and integrated with online tools to support remote learning.
Challenges and Limitations
Compatibility Issues
Pairing students with complementary skills can be challenging.
Assessment Difficulties. Evaluating individual contributions in a collaborative setting may be complex.
Time Management. Effective tandem learning requires time and commitment from both participants.
Integrating Digital Tools. The tandem method can be enhanced using technology. For example:
Online Platforms: Tools like Zoom, Microsoft Teams, or Moodle facilitate virtual tandem learning.
Collaborative Tools: Platforms like Google Workspace enable joint project development and real-time collaboration.
AI-Powered Matching Systems: Artificial intelligence can assist in pairing students based on their skills and interests.
Conclusion. The tandem method offers a promising approach to teaching master's students, combining peer-to-peer learning with collaborative problem-solving. While challenges remain in implementation and assessment, the integration of digital tools and careful pairing of participants can enhance its effectiveness. Future research should explore long-term outcomes of the tandem method in various disciplines and its impact on professional readiness.

ROMANTIC ELEMENTS IN THE WORKS OF E.T.A. HOFFMANN
Annotation
This article analyzes the characteristic features of Romanticism in the works of E.T.A. Hoffmann. It explores central Romantic themes such as the desire for infinity, the significance of dreams and imagination, the blending of reality and fantasy, and the role of the artist in society. Through a detailed analysis of selected works by Hoffmann, the paper demonstrates how the author integrates these Romantic elements into his stories, positioning him as one of the most important figures in German Romanticism.
Keywords:
E.T.A. Hoffmann, Romanticism, German literature, dream, fantasy, artist, longing, reality, analysis.
Ernst Theodor Amadeus Hoffmann is often considered one of the most significant authors of German Romanticism, a movement characterized by its focus on emotion, imagination, and the exploration of the irrational and the supernatural. Hoffmann's works reflect the central concerns of Romantic thought: the tension between reality and fantasy, the infinite and the finite, and the place of the artist in society. In this article, we will examine the key Romantic elements in Hoffmann's stories and discuss how his use of these themes contributes to the broader cultural and intellectual currents of the period.
Romanticism and Hoffmann's Artistic Vision
Romanticism, as a literary and philosophical movement, emerged as a reaction against the Enlightenment's emphasis on reason and order. Romantic thinkers and artists sought to explore the unconscious, the supernatural, and the emotional aspects of human experience. Hoffmann's works reflect these concerns, with their frequent focus on the boundaries between reality and illusion, the interplay of dreams and waking life, and the inherent strangeness of the world.
A central feature of Romantic literature is the exploration of the infinite whether it is the infinite potential of the imagination, the yearning for transcendence, or the encounter with the sublime. In Hoffmann's works, characters often experience a deep sense of longing or desire for something beyond the limits of everyday existence. This yearning for the unattainable is a recurring motif in his stories, reinforcing the Romantic emphasis on the tension between the finite and the infinite.
