“…These were measured before and after the experiment using mixed methods. These were as follows: an English Language Achievement Test, a Cognitive Ability Test (FCATP, 2019), a Foreign Language Learning Motivation Questionnaire (Gonzales & Lopez, 2015) and Kolb's Learning Style Questionnaire (2005-2006. The quantitative component was a priority in the study, and a qualitative one used as secondary to increase the reliability of the data (Morgan, 2014).…”

The purpose of this research was to identify whether there had been an enhancement in students' language skills and perception of the ESP course if it had been delivered through a blended mode studenttailored model. The latter was aimed at training each English language skill separately. Reading and listening skills were trained online, the writing was taught both online and offline, and speaking was trained offline using speaking clubs that were held once a week. The TUTORROOM system was programmed to deliver materials online. The ongoing and final assessments were administered offline. A pre-test-posttest research design was utilised to analyse the change in variables which were students' English Language fluency (proficiency), cognitive ability, learning motivation, and learning styles. The study used a set of quantitative and qualitative empirical, experimental and statistical methods. The intervention improved the sampled students' English language skills, their cognitive ability and learning motivation. The use of the student-tailored ESP model led to the shift from the teacher-driven to autonomous learning. It had been proved by the responses of the interviewed students that they felt 'convenient' (16 out of 19 respondents), 'efficient' (13 of the interviewed students), benefited (6 of the interviewed participants), 'motivated', and 'responsible' for their progress in language fluency. The experiment showed that the model promoted students' responsibility for the learning outcomes which resulted in improved performance.

“…Interdisciplinary foreign language teaching in non-linguistic Universities should go hand in hand with the principle of integration, which is defined as a basic one in ESP program and built on an assessment of purposes, needs and functions for which English is required [2]. ESP concentrates more on language in context than on teaching grammar and language structures [3]. The central focus point in teaching English in non-linguistic Universities is to integrate it into a subject matter area important to the learners, therefore, combining them effectively.…”

The present-day fast-developing knowledge society calls for an interdisciplinary approach to studying a foreign language in non-linguistic Universities. To meet contemporary requirements, teaching a foreign language for specific domains demands a new syllabus approach meant to enhance students' motivation to study and improve both language level and business communication skills. The paper covers some issues of interdisciplinary approach, defines the fundamental principles of its implementation and dwells upon actual program samples for using interdisciplinary links of ESP and profile disciplines in different fields of higher education.

The article highlights the issue of ensuring the quality of higher education through the prism of the use of interdisciplinary links on the example of the study of historical disciplines and foreign languages. The analysis of the legal framework, as well as the scientific literature made it possible to identify effective ways to ensure the quality of higher education. One of them is the application of the principles of interdisciplinary relations. The implementation of the interdisciplinary approach is considered as a promising method for the professional training of students of the Faculty of History with the use of knowledge of a foreign language. It is proposed to create integrated programs, teaching professional disciplines in English. It is recommended to offer students English literature. In the context of the interdisciplinary approach, the integration of professional components using the skills of linguistic literacy is considered. The concept of interdisciplinary research is based on the premise that concepts and facts are not studied in isolation from each other. Implementation of the disciplinary approach is considered as a promising method for professional training of students for the application of knowledge in other disciplines. The European vector of higher education development is determined by the high level of requirements for the specialist, which necessitates the search for effective ways to ensure the quality of higher education. One of the directions of updating the learning process is the integration of educational material from different disciplines, namely: historical disciplines and foreign language. To apply the principle of interdisciplinary links, it is important to use the CLIL approach in foreign language classes. The teaching of professional disciplines in English is relevant today in domestic universities, as it is an important factor in increasing prestige, internationalization and improving the quality of professional training. When creating integrated programs to enhance the independent cognitive activity of students of the Faculty of History, it is important to recommend students to English-language literature. The use of interdisciplinary connections allows students of the Faculty of History to discover their creative potential and develop as a person.
