Abstract

This publication is a detailed lesson plan on the topic "Gardening Styles" designed for the third-year majors in Gardening and Landscape Development. The integrated approach to the formation of linguistic and specialism-related competence is manifested in the development of language skills alongside with gaining cultural knowledge and job-related skills in a professionally oriented context. The lesson is aimed at improving various communicative language skills. The development of students' cognitive thinking is supported through systematizing language material and structuring professional knowledge by employing graphic organizers for semantic mapping within the concept "Main styles of garden and park design".
