Abstract
The article studies the principles and the framework of ensuring the professional development of students specializing in the political sciences at the university level, with focus on enhancing the links between specialized courses and the ESP course. The methodology behind the research lies in creating the psychological model of the profession of a political scientist, analyzing its structural components, in particular, the model of the professional environment, professional activity and the professional self-concept, and studying the ways the course of English may contribute to the professional development of students. The following functions of the ESP course were singled out and detailed in view of the specialization: information, organization and control. These functions were further studied to provide a set of ways, forms, methods and specific tasks designed to engage students in the English-speaking professional discourse, both inside and outside the classroom. The model of professional activity was constructed based on the professional profile of a political scientist, and a set of communicative functions were specified for the respective professional context, which laid the foundation for developing the algorithm of planning a learning module of an ESP course and a set of objectives of the ESP curriculum for students of political sciences. Having specified the objectives and the content of professional development by means of an ESP course, the article further suggests organizational and methodological framework for implementing interdisciplinary links between specialized disciplines and ESP. However, early professional development of students during the General English course still needs to be studied.
