This study examines methods of organizing research activities in foreign language classes for secondary school students. The relevance of the work is determined by the requirements of the Federal State Educational Standard (FSES), which stipulates the development of educational and research activities to enhance the effectiveness of knowledge acquisition and increase student motivation. The leading research method was a questionnaire survey conducted among 29 7th and 9th grade students studying French as their first foreign language. The results revealed that 7th graders show a predominance of extrinsic over intrinsic motivation, while 9th graders demonstrate unstable self-esteem leading to decreased classroom activity, increased passivity, and situational attitude toward learning challenges. Based on the obtained data, the application of "Role-playing" and "Scaffolding" methods is recommended to address the identified issues and develop students' research activities, thereby implementing the system-activity approach embedded in FSES.

This article explores the definition and types of audiovisual technologies, examines their impact on language learning, and provides practical examples of their application in educational settings
