Developing Business Communication Skills Through Interdisciplinary Approach to Study English

Abstract

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.
