The integration of language and professional disciplines in the training of economics specialists is an important factor in directing educational outcomes toward practical competencies and in harmoniously developing economic thinking and professional communication culture. This thesis conceptually highlights the theoretical and pedagogical foundations of integration, its close relationship with the competency-based approach, and the necessity of aligning the content of language teaching in economic education with professional discourse and genres. The research concept combines interdisciplinary integration, the CLIL approach, ESP principles, and discourse-oriented education. As a result, it is substantiated that the integrated teaching model should simultaneously develop skills in working with economic texts, analytical writing, oral presentations, and professional negotiations, while assessment should be aligned with outcomes demonstrated through professional tasks.
