Abstract
The article expands on the specifics of the educational scaffolding in content and language integrated training for specialized disciplines. It is revealed that the methods of stimulating foreign language communicative activity of students are based on the use of active learning methods in combination with interdisciplinary interaction and the use of modern digital educational technologies. The possibilities of scaffolding technology for the implementation of an individual approach to learning by building educational “footing” are presented. The value of scaffolding techniques for the formation of students’ motivation and the creation of a comfortable educational environment is emphasized. The hypothesis is put forward that two directions should be integrated into the process of professionally oriented foreign language teaching using scaffolding: linguistic and professional. The role of interdisciplinary cooperation and interdisciplinary code switching is revealed, in which students receive multilateral support and a significant competitive advantage.
