The article analyzes blended learning and forms of its organization. Blended learning is seen as a model of the educational process with a clear combination of face-to-face and online forms of learning using technical means and online resources. It was found that the planning of an effective model of blended learning in a foreign language is a set of interrelated types of educational activities, where the independent work of the student and the purposeful work of the teacher play an important role.

It is emphasized that the role of the teacher in blended learning is transformed and reduced to the role of a creator, moderator, controller. The teacher in blended learning is the developer of the Discipline Work Program/Syllabus, the leader and executor of his/her "project". Blended learning is mainly focused on the readiness of the teacher, who motivates students to learn the language, has a good technical ability to use learning platforms online, clearly defines the feasibility of a particular task in its discipline, understands the main purpose of each task and corresponds to the content of the educational program.

Properly organized independent work of the student is effective in the process of forming all types of speech activity: reading, speaking, listening and writing. Tasks in a foreign language and their types play an important role and affect the quality of knowledge. An effective predictor of successful communication in a foreign language in a blended learning environment will be the organization of students' independent work, which is transformed into the performance by students of clearly composed non-communicative and conditionally communicative exercises. The article outlines various types of tasks for organizing independent work on a foreign language in a blended learning environment.
