Methodic model of teaching professional foreign language communication students of “Technology of production and processing of agricultural products” programme based on the model of content and language integrated learning

Content and language integrated learning of a foreign language and profile disciplines is a relatively new approach, which is only just beginning to be introduced into foreign language training of students of non-linguistic universities. We present a methodic model as a system of teaching professional foreign language communication students of “Technology of production and processing of agricultural products” programme based on the model of content and language integrated learning. The model is based on five approaches: competency-based, systemic, person-activity, communicative-cognitive, content and language integrated learning (CLIL). We implement approaches in practice through a number of principles. We describe in detail the principles of content and language integrated learning: the principle of authenticity, the principle of intensive foreign language proficiency, the principle of an active teacher, the principle of multiculturalism, the principle of the development of higher-level thinking skills, the principle of sustainable learning, the principle of adaptation of educational material, the principle of reliance on the native and foreign languages, the principle of motivation. The process of teaching agrarian university students a professional foreign language in the conditions of content and language integrated learning is based on such teaching methods as: communicative and interactive methods, problem and vocational training methods, tandem method and control methods. The subject content of students’ teaching is based on the subject content of teaching in relevant disciplines and reflects the specifics of future professional work of students. We provide a detailed description of all the components of the methodic model.
