METHODOLOGICAL ASPECTS OF APPLYING CLIL TECHNOLOGY IN TEACHING ENGLISH TO NON-PHILOLOGICAL STUDENTS

Аннотация:

The expanding use of English in academic and professional contexts has significantly influenced the modernization of teaching practices in higher education. In response to this demand, Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) has emerged as an innovative pedagogical approach that integrates disciplinary content with foreign language instruction. This paper investigates the methodological aspects of employing CLIL technology in teaching English to students of non-philological disciplines. Particular attention is given to the core principles of CLIL, its instructional models, and the sequential stages of CLIL-oriented lessons. Additionally, the study discusses the educational advantages of this approach alongside the challenges encountered during its practical implementation. The analysis confirms that CLIL facilitates the development of communicative competence, strengthens subject-matter understanding, and enhances learners’ cognitive abilities, thereby demonstrating its effectiveness for students whose academic specialization is not related to linguistics.
