Abstract

In the context of dynamically updated professionally oriented information, the "erasure" of interdisciplinary boundaries, the demand for metasubject competencies the modern higher education system faces the need not only to choose innovative forms, methods and means of organizing the educational process, but to update the content of education taking into account the requirements for a modern graduate whose personal subject position in the process of his professional activity should be clearly "formalized" upon receiving his diploma. The theoretical study confirmed the demand for updating the content both on the behalf of the pedagogical community, and the employers who note the lack of readiness of most university graduates to make independent decisions in real professional situations and be responsible for them. This fact actualizes the need to study the problem of updating educational content through strengthening interdisciplinary links in the process of integrated language-professional training from the position of a subject-centered approach.

Highlights

The dynamic pace of modern life places a university graduate in the situation where the renewal of professional knowledge is so rapid that to maintain one’s competitiveness the specialist cannot limit himself to the knowledge obtained while getting the higher education

Summary

Introduction

The dynamic pace of modern life places a university graduate in the situation where the renewal of professional knowledge is so rapid that to maintain one’s competitiveness the specialist cannot limit himself to the knowledge obtained while getting the higher education. A great role in intensifying professional information exchange is played by the virtual information space, which poses an important requirement for its users - the ability to communicate by means of various languages. In this regard, it is necessary to provide students with the necessary arsenal of skills to enable them to carry out effective professional communication in both native and foreign languages. The unity of the professional and linguistic skills of a student – as the subject of the educational process – their integration through strengthening interdisciplinary links while studying a foreign language and special disciplines, will provide the specialist with the background for professional and personal success, creating an innovative professional resource for the development of the country
