The paper addresses the challenges of modern teaching approaches in one of recently established international higher education schools with CLIL (Content and Language Integrated Learning) in Kazakhstan. To tackle the problems arising from the shortcomings of local school education, particularly from little or lack of focus on preparation of schoolchildren for CLIL-based programmes [2], tandem teaching or interdisciplinarity seem to be the call of the day in such international programmes. The research based on experimental teaching has revealed the beneficial impact of tandem teaching on the learners’ academic performance. However, there are issues that need to be considered carefully while planning and organising the learning process.References
