Abstract: The use of electronic social networks (ESN) as a new teaching method that is chosen by modern teachers, who have sufficient professional, information and communication competence, passed several stages of formation and nowadays are widely used in the educational process in secondary schools. The article deals with basic approaches to determining teaching methods in secondary schools through electronic social networks. Main approaches to the selection of teaching methods, particularly through the internal logical path of learning, are defined. Authors demonstrate such teaching methods as: comparison, synthesis, summing up, specification and classification; analytical, synthetic and application of formative assessment. Examples and algorithm of use for each method are given in the article. It is established that the effectiveness of teaching methods depends not only on the same methods but on skills of a teacher to use the functionality of social networks and ICT.
