Abstract

The chapter concentrates on the methodological strategies of CLIL approach which were proved to be effective by the foreign studies, but still remain outside the focus of Ukrainian researchers. The first part of the work presents the review of papers concerning scaffolding as one of the key and the most relevant strategies for teaching the material of specialized disciplines in a foreign language. The essence of the strategy is revealed, its types are considered, along with the peculiarities of its implementation into the structure of the CLIL-lesson.

The second part of the study highlights an issue of division of the foreign language material into BICS and CALP components, which has become relevant in foreign methodological studies. Supporting the statements of foreign specialists, the author argues about the importance of the tutor's consideration of BICS and CALP material types and their simultaneous implementation into the learning process. The study presents the analysis of separate strategies for teaching BICS and CALP components, proposed by the foreign researchers.

The author comes to the conclusion about the importance of using scaffolding and strategies of teaching BICS and CALP material by the Ukrainian tutors who tend to organize their lessons according to the CLIL principles. The study points out the relevance of the further research regarding the possibilities and variants of implementation of scaffolding and BICS/CALP teaching strategies in the lesson plans and schedules at the Ukrainian educational establishments.
