Research on the current state of english electronic education terminological fund

Abstract

This article is devoted to the study of electronic education terminological fund in the modern English language and its current state. The distribution of new English terms in the communication space of
Kazakhstan and their intensive use is due to the processes of modernization and digitalization of education. In this work we consider 294 terms, analyzing their specific characteristics, classifying components
according to the principle of productivity. The analysis of the studied terms made it possible to identify
the dominant term in the group of synonyms denoting electronic education - e-learning. This article also
discusses groups of terms that need to be clarified due to definitive variability and the lack of a generally
accepted point of view on their meaning. The research shows that processes occurring in the sphere of
electronic educational environment are directly reflected in the expansion of the terminology of electronic education. The current state of the terminology fund of electronic education is characterized by
dynamism and the presence of a large number of terms that reflect related concepts. This article proposes
that uncovered specifics and features for the groups of terms researched in this article are generally valid
for electronic education terminological fund in the modern English language. The article predicts that
further research and linguistic analyses of term groupings in the sphere of electronic education gives
opportunity to elicit trends and developing tendencies of English terminological fund as a whole. A
systematic study of e-learning terminology will reveal intrasystem correlations of terminological units.
The abovementioned analyses results allow researchers to model possible directions and patterns of
electronic education terminological fund development in the modern English language.
