Abstract

The main tasks were determined: the study of innovative methods of teaching foreign languages involved a theoretical analysis of the Ukrainian pedagogical experience; essential characteristics of the main concepts in the context of the investigated problem are carried out. The article analyzes the meaning of the terms “bilingual education” and “bilingual instruction”. The author concludes that these two concepts are used quite often in pedagogical sources. It was revealed that a special place today is occupied by an approach in which a foreign language is used as a means of mastering the content of various general education subjects. This approach is not new, its varieties have been used to study non-linguistic subjects for centuries, and today it is considered an effective way of forming bilingualism. Nowadays, students’ native language is also used during education, so this approach has different names, such as “immersion education” or “bilingual teaching of subjects”. In this case – mixed use during learning of two languages – native and foreign. On the basis of the analysis of thepositive European experience in the development of school bilingual education, it was proposed to: intensify the cooperation of general educational institutions with European schools and representations (embassies) of certain countries on the territory of Ukraine; to improve the level of training of specialists who is to possess multifaceted competence, which includes subject, language, general pedagogical (didactic, communicative, organizational skills) and additional (“intermediary”) competence, which involves the teacher’s ability to convey the essence of the subject to students by means of a foreign language.
