The article analyzes the meaning of the terms “bilingual education” and “immersion education” This approach is not new, its varieties have been used to study non-linguistic subjects for centuries,and today it is considered an effective way of forming bilingualism. Nowadays, students’ native language is also used during education, so this approach has different names, such as “immersion education” or “bilingual teaching of subjects”. Teaching in two languages is quite common in European countries. As a rule, such training does not require artificial encouragement, as it contributes to the expansion of the general horizons of students through familiarizationwith the peculiarities of foreign culture, forms a tolerant attitude towards the views, cultural characteristics of another representative of culture, related to national specificity.
