| Popis: | The paper deals with the issue of bridging the gap between the language as a tool of professional communication and the language learnt as an academic subject focused on general vocabulary and structures, which hinders effective professional communication of a non-linguist graduate. This problem is aggravated by the lack of language teacher training in content subjects: mastering peculiarities of a specific professional language as a variety of numerous social dialects requires substantial experience in this particular field. Therefore, teaching a foreign language in a non-language higher educational institution calls for wider implementation of CLIL approach (integration of content and language training) to dealing with language material in developing communicative competence. The paper points out competence focused nature of CLIL and its motivational potential. The authors discuss some specific features of teacher’s preparing for classes in this context and suggest several teaching techniques aimed at expanding involvement of professional variety of language in the process of training future experts for increasing their professional communication skills, including case studies, effective use of audiovisual teaching aids and multimedia presentations in a special field. The article stresses the need for further integration of a second language and content training in the professional field, which requires a systematic approach and collaboration of all participants in higher educational process. |
