The present paper deals with innovative approaches to teaching English for Specific Purposes (ESP) in the field of interdisciplinarity. The paper starts with the novelty and topicality of the issue in question. It makes an attempt to eliminate a contradiction now apparent in Ukrainian education regarding the theoretical foundations and practical application of the basic ESP principles in vocational schools and universities. The authors explore the concept of interdisciplinarity and its didactic potential when applied to the ESP teaching process. It is stated that the interdisciplinary approach is able to provide new and exciting possibilities when it stimulates the learners’ interest in foreign languages both in and outside of an educational environment. The paper introduces a new methodological option in the ESP educational process – an interdisciplinary bilingual project. As it dares to be an innovative type of group project, some theoretical considerations are necessarily discussed. Its basic categories, implementation objectives, interdisciplinary characteristics are identified. The paper justifies the didactic appropriateness of the project in question and its interdisciplinary practicality.

The article touches upon the problems of teaching English as a third foreign language in higher educational institutions of the Republic of Armenia. The students’ mother tongue, in this case, is Armenian. Russian is the first foreign language and French is the second one. Considering the fact that the students’ 2nd (French) and 3rd (English) foreign languages have significant similarities that can cause both positive transfer and negative interference, the teaching/learning process of English should be organized by paying special attention to the similarities and taking into account certain peculiarities. Accordingly, the use of correctly selected exercises can help in organizing the teaching/learning process more quickly and effectively. The author also introduces some “dangerous” language phenomena that may bring about undesirable interference in learning English after French. In addition, a number of exercise samples are provided that might be used to develop the students’ lexical, grammatical and phonological competences in teaching/learning English as a third foreign language.

В статье проанализированы современные методы преподавания иностранного языка и обоснована целесообразность их использования в технических учреждениях высшего образования. Процесс преподавания английского языка в неязыковых высших учебных заведениях имеет определенные особенности, связанные с разным начальным уровнем языковой подготовки первокурсников; количеством академических часов, отведенных на изучение этой дисциплины; количественным составом групп; низкой мотивацией к освоению иностранного языка. Отмечено, что в учебном процессе важную роль играет мотивация, формирование которой у студентов технических вузах должно быть одной из основных задач учебно-воспитательного процесса. Установлено, что значительно повысить результативность занятия можно при условии профессионально ориентированного наполнения содержания дисциплины "иностранный язык" в технических вузах. Выяснено, что применение интерактивных технологий обучения предусматривает обращение к коммуникативному, в частности когнитивно-коммуникативному, и конструктивистского методов преподавания иностранного языка. Доказано, что использование инновационных подходов к преподаванию английского языка и мультимедийных средств обучения дает возможность студентам повысить мотивацию к изучению иностранных языков, обеспечить доступ к новым, альтернативным источникам информации, развить самостоятельную умственную деятельность, сформировать коммуникативные навыки, культурную и профессиональную компетентность. The article analyzes modern methods of teaching a foreign language and justifies the expediency of their use in technical institutions of higher education. The process of teaching English in non-linguistic higher educational institutions has certain features related to the different initial level of language training of first-year students; the number of academic hours allocated to the study of this discipline; the quantitative composition of groups; low motivation to learn a foreign language. It is noted that motivation plays an important role in the educational process, the formation of which among students of technical universities should be one of the main tasks of the educational process. It is established that it is possible to significantly increase the effectiveness of the lesson provided that the content of the discipline "foreign language" is professionally oriented in technical universities. It is found that the use of interactive learning technologies involves the use of communicative, in particular cognitive-communicative, and constructivist methods of teaching a foreign language. It is proved that the use of innovative approaches to teaching English and multimedia teaching tools allows students to increase motivation to learn foreign languages, provide access to new, alternative sources of information, develop independent mental activity, form communication skills, cultural and professional competence.
