Currently, as part of the digitalization of various fields of activity, including education, the introduction of innovative Technology integration into the educational process is actively being done. The use of modern technologies, including the technology of problem-based learning in the classroom enhances student learning activities, aids in the teaching of foreign languages, and helps students reach their full potential as future specialists who speak multiple languages fluently. The use of problem-based learning technology in the process of teaching foreign languages is one of the most pertinent approaches to organize effective learning, according to domestic and international scientists. Even if there has already been a great deal of expertise gained in the field of teaching foreign languages, many students are hesitant to use problem-based learning technologies. The aim of the study was to determine the attitude of students of non-linguistic specialties, namely students who study in the specialty «Architecture» in M.Auezov South Kazakhstan University, to the importance and effectiveness of using problem-based learning technology in the process of foreign language education in a professional context. 100 students of non-linguistic specialties formed a contingent for the study. The survey method was adopted for the study.A questionnaire was used as a data collection tool. In the analysis of the collected data, frequency counts and simple percentages were used. As a result of the study, it was revealed that many of the students surveyed advocate the use of problem-based learning technologies in professional foreign language education, but in the process of solving problematic problems, they need the help of a teacher. In addition, it was considered necessary to consider the possibility of using problem-based learning as a component of innovative technology to improve the level of a foreign language in a professional context.The article provides information about the technology of problem-based learning as a means of teaching a foreign language to students of non-linguistic specialties.
