Abstract
The article presents the results of a study of effective methods of teaching English in non-linguistic universities, taking into account the specifics of students' professional training. Based on the analysis of relevant scientific publications of recent years and an empirical study involving 120 students and 15 teachers from 5 non-linguistic universities, key factors determining the effectiveness of teaching have been identified: orientation to the professional context (r=0.78), the use of authentic materials (r=0.74), integration of interactive methods (r=0.69). An integrative teaching model is proposed that combines a communicative approach, contextual learning, and elements of a problem-based method. The approbation of the model demonstrated a statistically significant increase in the level of English language proficiency in the experimental groups (t=6.32; p<0.01). The results obtained contribute to the development of methods of teaching English for special purposes and can serve as a basis for the development of effective curricula in non-linguistic universities.
