Modern language education increasingly emphasizes interdisciplinary learning and contextualized instruction to improve students’ communicative competence and professional thinking. This article explores a multidisciplinary and context-based teaching model implemented in practical English language classes. The study examines how integrating subject knowledge with authentic communicative contexts enhances learners’ language proficiency, critical thinking, and professional awareness. The proposed model incorporates reading, speaking, and writing activities connected with real-life and disciplinary contexts. The findings suggest that multidisciplinary and contextual approaches significantly increase student engagement and promote meaningful language learning.
