Abstract
The article describes the results of the research work devoted to the designing of content of the bilingual elective course
"Information and Communication Technologies" for high school students by means of Russian and English languages.
According to the Concept of profile education at the senior stage of general education in the Russian school (2003) elective
courses are associated with the satisfaction of individual educational interests, needs and inclinations of each student. Content
and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL), that has become widespread in Europe, was taken as the bases of bilingual education.
Thus, the use of a foreign language (English) along with the Russian language becomes a way of comprehending knowledge
from different subject areas. The introduction of bilingual elective course by means of Russian and English languages allowed
students to form additional linguistic and information competence. It was formed at a sufficiently high level in 35% of students
during the first year of study and during the second year in 26% of students. Also, mathematical processing of the results of
experimental work showed that for the first and second academic years CLIL had provided the necessary quality of knowledge
and skills of students in the field of information and communication technologies and simultaneously had improved their
knowledge and skills in English. The presented research work expands the theoretical views of the pedagogical science on the
actual problems in the field of bilingual education, the solution of which will open new opportunities for the development of
Russian education.

Introduction
The development of the theory and practice of bilingual education provides important impulses for an intensive
innovative search in this direction in Russian schools. It is a question of deep comprehension and application of the
most productive foreign ideas of bilingual education in similar socio cultural conditions and the use of the national
historical and pedagogical experience of bilingual education in schools with the teaching of a number of subjects in
foreign languages [1, 2].
