TO THE QUESTION ABOUT THE EPISTOLARY CULTURE OF STUDENTS IN CONDITIONS OF DISTANCE EDUCATION

Our question is what tasks a higher education teacher should set himself in the context of electronic communication. The teacher and student / master's student are seen as mediators between different epistolary styles. The teacher is seen as the guardian of the traditional style of emailing, and the student youth — as the creator of the new one. Examples are given to characterize the epistolary culture of students in the format of distance learning. As a result, it is argued that during educational correspondence between a teacher and a student, new standards of speech communication and new expressive means generated by the digitalization are formed.
