Abstract

The processes of intercultural integration and communication, as well as the internationalization of the English language in the world, require a new understanding of teaching a foreign language. Therefore, the use of new productive techniques is an important aspect of education. At the present stage in all the progressive educational systems of the world there are significant changes in the methods of teaching a foreign language and the professional subject. The teaching priority has been shifted from mastering grammar and mechanical learning of the vocabulary, reading and translation to a more functional aspect. The aim of the article is to analyze the main aspects of ClІl methodology in teaching English, which corresponds to the important trends of the educational innovations of the 21st century. The CLIL methodology is the most rational at the stage of the formation and implementation of the multilingual education model as a sign of language integration. It involves a significant number of techniques suitable for all the academic subjects, and not only allows the students to communicate effectively using a foreign language in different areas of life, but also improves all the speech skills. This technology considers learning a foreign language as a tool for mastering other subjects, which allows developing the communication skills in a foreign language. The leading idea is based on the assumption that the adoption of CLIL technology in the period of intercultural communication will let the teachers use the modern information technologies, and join the European educational space. The implementation of CLIL elements is based on the experience of the Western countries and it is the most rational for the formation of the new education model. After all, CLIL can be applied in different forms and situations, as it covers different forms of teaching. The methodology provides a significant number of techniques that are suitable for all the subjects. It not only allows the students to communicate effectively using a foreign language in various fields of life, but also improves all the language skills. This approach develops critical thinking, creative potential of the students. The introduction of CLIL allows to broaden students’ horizons of trained subjects to the level of rapid adaptation to their future profession. The CLIL methodology helps teach a foreign language using topics and materials from other disciplines.
