Abstract
This research-based analysis aims to investigate transdisciplinary integration as a methodological approach to enhance students’ academic knowledge in foreign-language learning within ESP. Before noting the specific area, in this case of language learning, a brief description of integration was provided via various dictionaries and encyclopedic sources. The article reviews key theoretical perspectives on transdisciplinary, interdisciplinary, and multidisciplinary integration approaches, drawing on the works of Drake and Burns, Broersma, Amaliyah et al., and Artikov, among others. Integration processes and their influence on language learning were examined in the following paragraphs, focusing on transdisciplinary integration and its impact on student performance, as well as additional methodological approaches to clarify students' understanding in ESP teaching.References
