Abstract
The article outlines ways of optimisation of the existing methodology of teaching legal English within the scope of introductory university courses through the application of CLIL (Content and Language Integrated Learning). It considers an approach to the definition of this method through the development of foreign methods with similar principles. It determines common goals of modern teaching of foreign languages in a law university and of CLIL, analyses the rationale and specifies ways of implementing the latter. Special emphasis is made on the formation of learner autonomy, the development of professional foreign language communication and cognitive skills as essential characteristics of a highly qualified specialist.
