Abstract

The nowadays educational system has to adapt to the ever-changing society demands to provide it with graduates possessing high level of general knowledge, analytical thinking and creativity as well as specialized competences. With strict time limits set for academic courses, an apparent way to a more compact material presentation and practicing lies in the transdisciplinary approach. As far as a foreign language at a technical university is concerned, it can be effectively studied within an integrated course, combined with one of the core subjects in the form of CLIL classes, which would be beneficial for both disciplines. This paper presents the results of experimental teaching English to students of applied mathematics based on authentic YouTube video lectures in mathematics, demonstrating the rich potential of CLIL format for tertiary courses.
