A lecture is a classical form of presenting information to a large audience. Saving its foundations, a lecture undergoes changes. Key innovations are associated with the implementation of information and communication technology elements. An analysis of Russian and foreign literature allows us to conclude that modern studies do not raise the basic question of the methodological potential of lecture courses from the students’ point of view. In this regard, a survey was conducted at the Faculty of Linguistics and Translation of Chelyabinsk State University, identifying the main methodological and organizational aspects of lectures. The authors used the following methods in their work: analysis of scientific and methodological literature, generalization; empirical methods include the survey and analysis of the results. The article presents the students’ survey results in order to determine the need of lecture courses at the university, as well as their partial psychological and pedagogical interpretation. Comments are divided into groups and subgroups according to aspects (temporality, information value, elaborateness, level of stereotype, etc.). Feedback is available online after completing lecture courses. The novelty of the work lies in highlighting the strengths and weaknesses of lecture courses from the point of view of students, relevance is determined by new experience in obtaining theoretical knowledge in the remote mode. The results are generalized, comments are valuable because they allow us to find promising areas of work both with students (psychological aspect) and with the professional community (pedagogical, methodological aspects). The authors share their experience of conducting online lectures as part of the all-Russian transition to a distance learning form. The conclusions offer recommendations for lecturing and outline the prospects for further research.
