Application of ‘cross-cutting technologies’ in legal foreign language teaching

within the implementation of the national program ‘Digital Economy of the Russian Federation’, universities were called upon to train specialists capable of carrying out professional activities in the digital economy. To solve this task, the authors of the article suggest using ‘cross-cutting technologies’ in education. The purpose of the article is to demonstrate the didactic potential of ‘cross-cutting technologies’ and their digital tools, to identify possible problems and challenges related to their use in legal foreign language teaching. The article describes in detail the didactic potential and working experience with artificial intelligence technologies (chatbots) and augmented reality in teaching legal foreign language. In the study, the authors used a set of empirical and theoretical methods, including: analysis and synthesis of scientific and methodological literature on the research topic; observation, comparison, generalization; experiential learning, survey. The analysis of scientific literature, empirical data and the results of student surveys revealed that ‘cross-cutting technologies’ have not widely applied in the teaching of humanities disciplines yet. However, the innovative systems development opens new prospects and opportunities in the sphere of education. ‘Cross-cutting technologies’ can optimise the educational process, making it more accessible, interactive and personalised, contributing to increased productivity of legal foreign language teaching.
