The article considers the way of teaching English for specific purposes through adapta-

tion and implementation of a CLIL model into the classroom. The method implies that

language teaching runs parallel to content teaching. The course where the English

course complements stage-by-stage the main higher-education curriculum has been de-

veloped. The results of this method implementation at St. Petersburg State Polytechnic

University are discussed. The important advantage of the method is the growth of interest

and increasing the motivation of students, which in turn, leads to a significant increase in

the efficiency of learning a foreign language. The main objective of the course is to pre-

pare the students for further studies including study in English, as well as internationali-

zation, specifically EU integration, and thus enhancing the university profile.

Keywords

: subject, language integration (CLIL), motivation, English for specific pur-

poses.
