Subject-centered approach to integrated language-professional training: backgrounds and perspectives

Abstract

In the context of dynamically updated professionally oriented information, the "erasure" of interdisciplinary boundaries, the demand for metasubject competencies the modern higher education system faces the need not only to choose innovative forms, methods and means of organizing the educational process, but to update the content of education taking into account the requirements for a modern graduate whose personal subject position in the process of his professional activity should be clearly "formalized" upon receiving his diploma. The theoretical study confirmed the demand for updating the content both on the behalf of the pedagogical community, and the employers who note the lack of readiness of most university graduates to make independent decisions in real professional situations and be responsible for them. This fact actualizes the need to study the problem of updating educational content through strengthening interdisciplinary links in the process of integrated language-professional training from the position of a subject-centered approach.
