Abstract

The article gives an insight into the innovative teaching method called CLIL (Content Language Integrated Learning) and its possibilities in teaching the English language in the sphere of fashion. Today fashion is a rapidly developing industry; therefore, there is a growing demand for fashion specialists both in Russia and internationally. Research shows one needs to master English at an advanced level in order to work successfully in the fashion industry worldwide. The authors introduce a well-structured content-oriented innovative course Fashion and Clothes: Language and Beauty, applying a variety of integrated CLIL methods of teaching English, as the main language of the fashion industry. The authors come to the conclusion that the English course devoted to teaching fashion is important and relevant nowadays, especially, because students in Russia and many other developing countries lack opportunity to receive a fashion degree. The materials of the research may be applied by university staff and ESP teachers worldwide to provide for the successful development of students’ professional, linguistic and personal competencies.
