Abstract

The article is devoted to the practice of introducing subject-language integrated training (CLIL) in a military university, which receives insufficient attention in modern teaching methods. The article presents the scientific directions of the organization and the basic principles of bilingual education in special disciplines and a foreign language in technical universities of the country. 4 stages of studying a foreign language at a military university using CLIL technology are described. A new approach to the study of a foreign language is presented as interdisciplinary coordination of a foreign language, humanitarian (history, Russian, translation), natural sciences (physics and mathematics) and military (military-technical) disciplines. All of these disciplines are a tool in mastering the professional knowledge of future military specialists and increasing their professional competence. Intersubject integration at the moment is characterized by a new attitude to the subject of teaching a foreign language - obtaining professional knowledge while simultaneously mastering knowledge, skills in a foreign language and other special disciplines according to the Federal State Educational Standard. The purpose of the study is to identify the links between the humanities and science disciplines for the application of an integrated approach in practical lessons. The study of technologies and approaches to interdisciplinary training in a military university and their use in the educational process is the relevance of the study. The analysis of scientific and theoretical materials of foreign and Russian authors confirms the use of subject-integrated training at a military university. Based on the results of an empirical study, a number of practical recommendations were developed for teachers of military universities. The article provides the organization of an integrated practical lesson in a foreign language with third-year cadets. Tasks for the integration of a foreign language and knowledge of cadets in the field of mathematics and physics have been developed. Methodological recommendations on the organization of subject-based integrated learning in foreign language classes are given. The article emphasizes that interdisciplinary interaction is a complex organizational task and a unified model of subject-integrated education in a military university does not yet exist, and its actualization depends on the capabilities of a particular university.
