Abstract

The article examines the problems of integration of a foreign language, general education and special disciplines in the educational process of technical institutions of higher education (IHE). The prerequisites for the formation of a model of an innovative educational-scientific STEM, STEAM and STREAM environment for conducting foreign language classes in a professional direction at a technical higher education institution have been created. It is determined how STEM, STEAM, STREAM approaches are integrated with foreign language learning and provide effective training of competitive technical higher education specialists for the domestic and global labor market. Forming a model of an innovative educational and scientific STEM and STEAM environment, we considered the components of hard skills and soft/flexible skills among STEM competencies. In our understanding, the use of STEM technologies in the formation of foreign language competence in technical IHE is the creation of conditions for a balanced, purposeful, science-oriented educational process based on the integration of mathematical, natural and humanitarian areas, where a foreign language acts as an integrative tool for solving professional activities, and the very object of study. Such integration is based on critical thinking and research skills of future specialists in technical education profiles.
