ABSTRACT
COVID-19 pandemic gave rise to new didactics—new ways of teaching were actively introduced due to global closures of schools. Teachers faced a new challenge connected with the quality of distance learning. Having access to a multitude of digital tools, it was quite confusing for them to choose the most efficient ways of teaching which could satisfy the learning needs of modern students. The experience of distance learning during the pandemic showed that not all digital techniques are worth incorporating into post-pandemic education. Having analyzed the experience of various countries including Russia, the authors single out the digital tools which, in their opinion, can be combined with traditional teaching methods to provide high quality education to cater for the needs of modern labour market. On the example of a lesson plan of an English class the authors show what digital resources and what kinds of activities involving them can be used in the classroom. © 2023, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.

ABSTRACT
The article attempts to systematize the devices and tactics of speech manipulation typical of fake viral texts. It describes linguistic features of electronic texts of the first year of COVID-19 pandemic, identifies the differences between viral text and fake viral text. It generalizes presented in the current academic literature methods of identification of fakes, among which the most relevant for the present research markers and indicators are selected. The article also analyzes the approaches to the definition of strategies and tactics offered by modern linguists. It is concluded that communicative technologies are the most urgent for the analysis of the complex of speech manipulation strategies in electronic text, which are understood as the body of split-level devices and methods of producing communicative impact on the recipient aimed at achieving the intended purposes of communication. Based on the analysis of the factual material, texts of fake viral postings of the first year of COVID-19 pandemic, the most widespread combinations of devices are detected, which are classified by the authors as models typical of fake viral postings devoted to the topic of coronavirus pandemic. The totality of the detected models comprises the system of speech manipulation strategies typical of fake viral text. Further research of the corpora of electronic texts on various topics will allow identifying speech manipulation strategies typical of separate genres of electronic text.
ABSTRACT
In a market economy, effective financial management is one of the most important aspects of the functioning of any company, which plays a connecting role between various areas of its activities and determines the company's position on the market, its competitiveness, prospects for sustainable development and cost growth.
