The issue of selecting the subject content of teaching a foreign language for students of non-linguistic specialties is one of the topical issues facing many authors dealing with the teaching of foreign languages. For many specialties, this issue remains open. Few authors come to a common opinion on this issue, but separate courses are already ready for a number of specialties. However, on the issue of selecting the subject content of teaching a foreign language in a medical university, many practicing teachers have not come to a consensus. We examine the issue of teaching a foreign language in the framework of two directions: ESP (English for Specific Purposes) and CLIL (Content and Language Integrated Learning). We consider the issue of the subject content of training and give our understanding of this topic in the framework of teaching the specialty of medical students and propose to highlight the subject aspects of the content of teaching a foreign language for professional communication of students of medical universities of the specialties “General Medicine” and “Dentistry”.

Content and language integrated learning (CLIL) of foreign language and profile disciplines is currently one of the innovative approaches to teaching foreign language for professional communication to students of non-linguistic universities. However, this approach is not widely used in universities of the Russian Federation. One of the main problems of this lies in the objec-tive difficulties of a foreign language teacher to develop the content of teaching foreign language for professional communication so that it reflects the features of the future professional activity of graduates of the main professional educational programs. We see the solution of the existing problem in the selection of the subject content based on the principle of reliance actualization of interdisciplinary connection and intraprofile specialization of students. In the this work, we a) analyze three approaches to teaching foreign language to students of non-linguistic universities (English for specific purposes – ESP; English as a medium of instruction – EMI; content and language integrated learning of foreign language and subject area); b) consider studies on the selection of the subject content of teaching foreign language to students of “Jurisprudence”, “Gardening”, “Agricultural chemistry and soil science”, “Musical and Instrumental art”, “Vocal art” and “Art of folk singing” programmes; c) develop the content of teaching foreign language for professional communication to students of an agricultural university in the 35.03.07 – “Technology of production and processing of agricultural products” programme in three teaching profiles: “Expertise of quality and safety of agricultural products”, “Technology of production and processing of crop products” and “Technology of production and processing of livestock products”.

Content and language Integrated learning is one of the modern approaches to teaching a foreign language for professional communication to students of non-linguistic specialties. The im-plementation of the approach implies taking into account the specifics of each specific profile of training within the training direction when selecting the subject content of teaching a foreign lan-guage, as well as when choosing a system of exercises and assignments aimed at creating aspects of students' foreign-language professional communicative competence. The development of an appropriate teaching methodology will depend on the consideration of a number of psychological and pedagogical conditions, which are understood as a complex of interconnected possibilities of the educational environment aimed at quantitative or qualitative changes in personality characteristics. In the framework of this study, teaching foreign students professional communication in the “Technology for the production and processing of agricultural products” programme on the basis of an integrated content-language training model will be effective when taking into account the following psychological and pedagogical conditions: 1) motivation of students to study foreign language professional communication on the basis of an integrated content-learning model; 2) students have a foreign language level of B1 and above; 3) the competence of a foreign language teacher in a profile specialty; 4) taking into account the specifics of the learning profile when selecting the subject matter of teaching a foreign language for professional communication; 5) taking into account the specifics of professional activity in the development of a complex of educational communicative tasks. In this work, we substantiate and describe each of the conditions in detail.

Foreign language for professional communication is one of the disciplines of the curriculum of students in non-linguistic areas of training, the purpose of which is the foreign language preparation of students for communication on professional topics. Despite the fact that a whole body of scientific works is devoted to the consideration of various aspects of learning a foreign language for professional purposes, nevertheless, to date, there are a number of debatable questions that require additional study and consideration. One of such issues is related to the selection of the subject content of teaching a foreign language in general and a foreign language for professional communication in an agricultural university in particular. Analysis of a number of curricula and basic professional educational programs in non-linguistic areas of training for different universities of the country suggests that the subject content of the discipline “Foreign Language for Professional Communication” is invariant for students of several adjacent areas of training and does not reflect the specifics of future professional activity of graduates. This problem is of particular relevance in situations where there are several separate training profiles within the same training area. We indicate the relevance of the study, compare three main approaches to learning a foreign language for professional communication (foreign language for specific purposes, integrated subject-language training, the study of a number of professional disciplines in a foreign language), describe the features of teaching a foreign language to students of an agricultural higher education institution, using the example of the direction of training “Agrochemistry and Agro Soil Science” develop the subject content of foreign language teaching for students of two separate profiles: “Agrochemistry and Agro Soil Science” and “Agroecology”.

Content and language integrated learning as one of the modern approaches to foreign language teaching for communication in the professional sphere is becoming more and more widespread in Russian universities. This approach is characterized by one distinctive characteristic – the dual purpose of learning. On the one hand, the CLIL course is aimed at the formation of professional foreign language communicative competence of students of a non-linguistic university. On the other hand, the CLIL course is aimed at students studying a specialized discipline, which serves as a subject-thematic core, on the basis of which exercises and tasks are developed, aimed at achieving the first goal – mastering a foreign language in the professional sphere. However, despite the didactic potential of integrated learning, the practice of applying the approach is rather limited. Based on the analysis of methodic works devoted to the description of the experience of Russian universities in the implementation of the methodology of content and language integrated learning, the experience of the Russian Academy of National Economy and Public Administration under the President of the Russian Federation in the implementation of CLIL courses is presented. The relevance of content and language integrated learning is described, and a number of key aspects of the development and implementation of CLIL courses in Russian universities are considered. These include: 1) selection of the subject-thematic content of the CLIL-course; 2) development of training materials for the CLIL-course; 3) professional development of the CLIL-course teacher and his motivation; 4) the level of students’ proficiency in a foreign language. Each of these aspects is described in detail in the work.

We examine the main trends in foreign language teaching for professional communication in high school students of the “Jurisprudence” programme, the impact of studying on the formation of general cultural and professional competences, as well as differentiation on various training profiles and their influence on the future professional activity. Allocation of training profiles for law students are conditioned both by the capabilities of a particular higher education institution and by the needs of the region for specialists with fundamental knowledge in certain areas of law. In most universities of the Russian Federation within the framework of the “Jurisprudence” programme, three training profiles are distinguished: state law, criminal law, and civil law. Within the framework of the model of integrated subject-language learning of a foreign language for professional communication, the subject content of training should be correlated with the future professional activity of students and the profile of training. The analysis of the main modern vocational education programs (OPOP) in the “Jurisprudence” programme of most universities in the country indicates that the subject content of foreign language teaching is invariant for all training profiles and does not reflect the specifics of the future professional activity of graduates. We describe the specifics of training for each profile in the framework of the “Jurisprudence” programme and highlight the subject content of English teaching to students of state law, civil law, and criminal law training profiles.

Methodical model is a set of interconnected components that form a single system aimed at achieving a common goal – the formation of foreign language communicative competence among students in the “Agricultural Engineering” programme based on content and language integrated learning. The teaching system is built on the basis of system, competency-based, per-sonal-activity, communicative-cognitive approaches, as well as content and language integrated learning. These approaches are implemented in practice using a number of didactic and methodical principles. We describe in detail the methodical principles of content and language integrated learning: principle 4 “C”, the principle of cognition, the principle of unity of thought and speech activity, the principle of integration of a foreign language and subject content, the principle of gradual complication of content, the principle of duality of reliance on native and foreign lan-guages, the principle of optimality, the principle of knowledge personalization, the principle of in-teractivity and the principle of language adaptation. Content and language integrated learning of students is carried out on the basis of the following teaching methods: interactive, communicative, information-reproductive, productive, tandem-method, vocational teaching and control methods. The content of teaching based on content and language integrated modeling reflects the profile specifics of training specialists in the framework of a particular specialty. Learning tools are a set of tools of a teacher for the purpose of development, teaching and upbringing. We present and de-scribe in detail all the components of the methodical model.

The teaching of languages in Europe emphasises the learning of English, increasingly with a view towards using it in a professional and academic environment. One development over the last few decades in response to this demand for more specialised English proficiency has been the introduction of Content-and-Language-Integrated Learning (CLIL). One of the major benefits of CLIL lies in its potential in fostering language abilities that relate directly to the school subjects taught through the integrated learning of new content and new aspects of the foreign language. I aim to contribute here to our conceptualisation of this nexus by positing and presenting evidence for a dual perspective of disciplinary language. This definition embraces both the production of lexico-grammatical and discursive patterns appropriate to the subject being taught and the verbal and multimodal practices associated with acquiring them.

Definition Of

One of the new approaches to foreign language teaching for professional communication in non-linguistic universities, including agrarian ones, is content and language integrated learning. In contrast to a foreign language for special purposes, an integrated approach aims to develop a foreign language communicative competence and professional competence of students within one course. In this case, the discipline “Foreign Language for Professional Communication” is aimed at intra-profile specialization. However, the main difficulty in developing an integrated course arises in determining the subject-thematic content of training, reflecting the future professional activities of students. A foreign language teacher, for objective reasons, is not compe-tent to highlight this subject-thematic content of education. In this regard, interdepartmental inte-raction is presented as an effective and efficient solution to the current problem. In this work we: a) determine the relevance of interdepartmental interaction for the development of integrated courses; b) highlight the key differences between teaching a foreign language for special purposes and content and language integrated learning; c) illustrate interdepartmental interaction at all stages of the development of an integrated course and teaching materials. There are seven such stages in the work: 1) assessment of students’ needs; 2) defining the goals and objectives of the course; 3) definition of course topics or subject-thematic modules; 4) definition of subtopics of each sub-ject-thematic module; 5) selection of foreign language texts of a professional orientation; 6) development of problematic tasks of foreign language speech and professional orientation; 7) course assessment.

Content and language integrated learning of a foreign language and specialty is one of the new approaches to foreign language teaching in the professional sphere of non-linguistic programmes students. In the framework of this approach, a foreign language is the purpose of learning, as well as a means of studying a profile specialty. In this regard, the discipline “Foreign Language in Professional Sphere” allows students to continue to form general professional and professional competencies. One of the key issues in the implementation of content and language integrated learning is the development of the subject content of teaching. The implementation of the methodic principle of reliance on intersubject connections allows us to develop the corresponding subject content of the discipline, reflecting the specifics of the students’ future professional work. We conduct and develop: a) description of the methodic principle of reliance on intersubject connections; b) analysis of researhes on the development of the subject content of foreign language teaching in the professional sphere of non-linguistic programmes students; c) the subject content proposed by the author of the discipline “Foreign Language in Professional Sphere” for students of four profiles of the “Agricultural Engineering” programmes: “Technological Equipment for Storage and Processing of Agricultural Products”, “Technical Systems in Agricultural Business”, “Technical Service in the Agricultural Sector” and “Electrical Equipment and Electrical Technologies in the Agricultural Sector”.

The article is focused on the consideration of the advantages of the technology of subject-language integrated learning (CLIL) and the problems of its use in English lessons in an innovative school. Currently in Kazakhstan the most popular secondary educational institutions are schools with in-depth study of subjects in English, the essential difference of which is the attitude to educational innovations, the search for new models of education, the creation of fundamentally new educational information. An important role in this is played by the choice of the optimal teaching method. In this capacity the generally recognized technology of integrated teaching of a language and a subject, known as the CLIL technology, is used. This teaching method is the study of a certain science using a second or third language, mastering the language in a subject, achieving subject and language goals. In the course of applying CLIL, learning English becomes more focused, as it is used to develop specific communicative and sociocultural competencies. In addition, by working on various topics, students learn specific terms, replenishing their vocabulary with subject terminology, which prepares them for further study of subjects in English and successful dialogue in various fields of activity. An important place is occupied by the selection of educational material, which depends on the structure and specifics of the subject, which, in turn, requires professionalism from the teacher and a constant search for new methodological solutions. When compiling assignments, the teacher should take into account the specifics of language forms, include exercises for the development of four types of speech activity (reading, listening, writing, speaking), use various types of assessment to stimulate independent and creative activity of students, as well as increase their motivation
