We see the creation of conditions for practical mastering the language, the development of such teaching methods that would allow each student to show their activity and creativity; enhancement of students’ cognitive activity. The use of TED conference materials in the classroom as part of the CLIL methodology is an integrated subject-language learning, in which the language is considered to be a tool of cognition, a means of communication and an object of study. In addition to increasing motivation, these authentic materials enable to satisfy the interests of students, to expand the vocabulary, reflecting various spheres of human activity, to form skills of listening, speaking and translation.

Ekphrasis as a way of describing a work of art inside a narrative text appears in Greek literature, and since then has occupied an important place in rhetorical, philosophical, and later in philological research. The descriptive nature of ecphrasical texts gives rise to a number of research problems that are being developed in modern interdisciplinary research. They involve not only literary scholars and philologists, but also semiotics, analyzing referential relations of description and description, phenomenologists who study questions of descriptive analytics, teachers, in particular, teachers of foreign languages, for whom qualitative examples are always important in the learning process. ecphrasises, translators of foreign literature, for which the text initially has the status of a work of art.
