INTERDISCIPLINARY APPROACHES: INTEGRATING LANGUAGE LEARNING WITH OTHER FIELDS

Abstract

Integrating different disciplines has long been a valuable and essential strategy in contemporary education. When teaching a language for specific purposes, it serves as one of the most effective methods to modernize the learning process and bridge theory with practical application. This integration could involve organizing a field class where students engage with authentic English in a real-world context while examining sociological themes relevant to their studies. For instance, sports management students might conduct semi-structured interviews with foreign tourists in Split, focusing on their perceptions of the city as a hub for sports. Through this activity, students gain firsthand experience in researching a relevant topic, compiling and presenting their findings, all while using the English language throughout the entire process.
