METHODOLOGY OF TEACHING ENGLISH IN NON-PHILOLOGICAL DISCIPLINES: CHALLENGES AND SOLUTIONS

Аннотация

This study explores the key challenges faced in teaching English to students in non-philological disciplines and proposes practical, evidence-informed solutions. As English grows in importance across scientific, technical, and professional domains, students in fields like agriculture, engineering, and business must develop communicative competence despite lacking a language-learning background. Using a qualitative approach that incorporates teacher reflections, classroom observations, and learner feedback, this paper identifies major obstacles – such as limited motivation, subject-specific vocabulary, and restricted instructional time – and presents targeted pedagogical strategies to address them. Findings suggest that integrating English for Specific Purposes (ESP), task-based learning, and interdisciplinary collaboration can significantlyimprove outcomes. Keywords: English for Specific Purposes (ESP), non-philological disciplines, language teaching, interdisciplinary learning, communicative competence.
