DIFFERENT APPROACHES TO TEACHING A FOREIGN LANGUAGE FOR SPECIFIC PURPOSES

Abstract

The article provides a comparative analysis, considers the common features and differences of three approaches to teaching a foreign language for special purposes in non-linguistic universities: learning through content, content-linguistic integration and foreign language immersion. The author shows the fundamental difference and advantages of these approaches over traditional professionally oriented training. The prospects for the implementation of these approaches in practice in non-linguistic higher education are considered, a phased implementation of the transition from traditional vocationally-oriented teaching of a foreign language to teaching through the content of special disciplines and foreign language immersion is proposed.
