The article reveals the implementation of innovative elearning technologies in the process of mastering the discipline “Target language of the professional use” by students of agricultural universities. The presented e-learning training course is an innovative tool that provides study of educational material in the mode of independent work with a computer as well as regulates the interaction of students with a teacher. Such online collaboration contributes to the improvement of the efficiency of target language knowledge formation through the introduction of upgraded teaching educational materials; stimulates interest in the study of target languages using innovative information and communication technologies; responsiveness of the feedback and the possibility of direct consultation with the teacher in the educational environment of the Moodle platform. The analysis of the results of the experimental survey showed predominantly sufficient and high levels of knowledge of students from the experimental groups who were trained by means of the electronic course; in contrast to the low and initial levels of knowledge of students from the control groups. Particular attention is paid to the characteristics of the content, structure and tasks of the electronic training course on learning English, German, Ukrainian and Russian as target languages for distance learning students of Sumy National Agrarian University.
