FEATURES OF THE PHILOSOPHY-BASED LANGUAGE TEACHING

As a unique approach in modern teaching methodology, philosophy-based language teaching (PBLT) engages students in a dialogue-based discussion of philosophical questions in English. This study aims to highlight practical ways to use the philosophy-based language teaching approach. At the same time, the key point is the redistribution of the roles of both language learners and teachers in the process of conducting English classes. The article presents the following practical recommendations for implementing this approach in English classes: firstly, the English language curriculum can be developed using the principles of the PBLT approach; secondly, speaking of language skills, developers of teaching materials should include philosophical questions that are related to the daily life of students in tasks before and after reading a text (or watching a video). The article notes that this approach has a positive effect on the development of writing and speaking skills, and also increases students’ readiness to communicate in English. In conclusion, we note that the discussion of not very difficult philosophical issues in English classes can motivate students to take an active part in the discussion. This is especially true if the philosophical questions are about real-life problems that students face on a daily basis. The use of this approach not only encourages students to develop critical thinking, but also facilitates class discussion and increases motivation to learn the language.
