Students' acquisition of professional foreign-language communication skills through the use of CLIL technology (English and political studies)

for the purpose of developing the foreign-language professional communicative ability of “Political Science” students, the study aims to theoretically justify, develop, and test a set of exercises based on the principles of integrated learning utilising subject content and language (CLIL). The scientific novelty of this work lies in the creation of a teaching and methodological manual, “English for Political Studies and International Relations,” based on CLIL technology, which includes lesson plans for the topics included in the teaching and methodological complex for students of political science in the discipline “Foreign Language in the Professional Sphere of Activity (English)”. In addition to discussing experiential instruction, the article examines the lesson's structure and all of its phases, including introductory, presentational, analytical, interactive, and reflective. The study concludes that the suggested activities help children improve their communication abilities across all major speech activity categories. They also aid in vocabulary growth, the development of linguistic and stylistic analytical abilities for professional texts, and a deeper understanding of grammatical structures associated with political science and international relations.
