The article discusses the peculiarities of teaching mathematics for foreign students who use English as a language intermediary in bilingual education at the preparatory department of the Kharkiv National University named after V.N. Karazin. It is noted that the key feature of educational material on mathematics, as information, is its network structure, formed by semantic-logical links. There are options for the distribution of decisions of control tasks. The process of preliminary assessment of foreign students, the training program and the logic of its creation are analyzed. The process of organizing bilingual education of foreign students at the faculty and its coordination between teachers is described. A statistical analysis of the composition of students, the initial level of their training is presented and the most effective training strategy is justified using the capabilities of university teachers. The process of creating a program for the discipline "Mathematics" is considered, taking into account the fact that students have a different initial level of knowledge in mathematics. It was noted that the use of a bilingual approach to learning and interdisciplinary cooperation allows foreign students to better understand the content of the discipline; get more opportunities to clarify difficult moments; expand opportunities for joint work on developing collaborative solutions; Feel comfortable when working with a mathematical device. It was concluded that interdisciplinary interaction in the learning process, in which students receive both professional development and improvement of their foreign language skills, deserves a positive assessment and can be recommended for use in the development of the educational environment.
