USING CLIL APPROACH IN DEVELOPING FOREIGN LANGUAGE PROFESSIONALLY ORIENTED COMPETENCE OF SENIOR STAGE STUDENTS IN SECONDARY SCHOOL

Abstract

Today, the secondary school in the Republic of Kazakhstan is undergoing a process of updating the content of education. This process is very sensitive for the senior school due to the teaching of a number of subjects in foreign language. In this regard, the content and language integrated learning is the most effective one. This article proposes a methodology for the formation of professionally oriented competence of senior students of secondary school using the CLIL approach. The stages of formation of the above-mentioned competence, abilities and communication tasks for each stage are indicated. The stages include the activation of speech and thought activity. The most interesting and motivating methods of activating of the formed knowledge scheme of students with the help of placemat, think-pair-share and scrambled sentence are revealed. The stage of introducing new material with a focus on the assimilation of a new vocabulary is presented. This is followed by a productive stage, which involves the generation of written and oral speech based on new content and new linguistic material, and an assessment stage with a focus on assessing the assimilation of both language material and content. As the main research methods, we used a survey of foreign language teachers on the use of CLIL in their professional activities and experimental training of senior students of secondary school. Before conducting experimental training, experimental and control groups were designated. Pre-experimental diagnostics showed the need for purposeful formation of a foreign language professionally oriented competence of senior students of secondary school using CLIL. Experimental training on the formation of a foreign language professionally oriented competence of students of the senior stage of secondary school was carried out. The results of experimental training prove the effectiveness of the approach used.
