Annotation: The article addresses the problem of finding new approaches to teaching English for Specific Purposes, since cross-cultural communication skills today are more in demand in the labor market than ever before. The purpose of this study is to describe an alternative model of teaching English to students of non-linguistic majors, which was implemented as part of an experimental international project with a special focus on the professional socialization of students in a competitive environment. The obtained results demonstrated that cross-border cooperation and focus on professional socialization in the process of teaching English accelerates the development of universal soft skills, immerses students in a quasi-professional environment, builds the foundation for their professional identity formation, enhances the importance of students’ personal competitiveness as a stimulating factor, and creates optimal conditions for the development of not only foreign language communicative competence, but also universal competencies that will be required from future graduates by employers.
