Abstract
The concept of Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) has attracted the experts’ attention. It is argued that CLIL approach assists in increasing professional knowledge-based. At the same time, language education has experienced ubiquitous implementation of modern technologies. An educational experiment reported in this paper was provoked by those trends. The experiment was conducted to test learning potential with CLIL e-course and was meant to improve the quality of language training in contemporary digital educational environment. The methodological approach taken in this study is a mixed methodology-based on pedagogical experiment, mathematical statistics and assessment instruments. The results confirm the benefits of applying CLIL approach through digital resources in tertiary education.
