THE ROLE OF PEDAGOGY AND PHILOLOGY IN DEVELOPING EFFECTIVE FOREIGN LANGUAGE TEACHING METHODOLOGIES

Abstract

This article examines an interdisciplinary approach to foreign language teaching based on the integration of pedagogical and philological methods. Special attention is given to the implementation of the Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) methodology, which aims at the simultaneous acquisition of subject knowledge and language skills. An experiment conducted among non-linguistic students showed a statistically significant increase in linguistic, communicative, and cognitive competence. The article presents the methodology, stages, and results of the study. It also discusses the prospects of integrating and digitalizing such methodologies in higher education.
