DEVELOPING FOREIGN-LANGUAGE PROFESSIONAL COMMUNICATIVE COMPETENCE WITHIN AN INTERDISCIPLINARY APPROACH

Abstract

The article addresses a problem of developing foreign-language professional communicative competence of non-linguistic university students within an interdisciplinary approach. The main objective of the study is to provide a theoretical justification for integrating language and subject-specific content and to develop a model for its implementation in higher education. The essence and structure of foreign-language professional communicative competence are clarified as an integrative outcome of professional training. A model of interdisciplinary integration is proposed to ensure coordination between language instruction and subject disciplines. The offered framework is aimed at overcoming disciplinary fragmentation and strengthening the professional orientation of language education. The results may be applied in designing professionally oriented foreign-language training programs in non-linguistic universities.
