The model of technology of professionally integrated foreign language teaching is described. The method of modeling professional situations by mock trials is presented in detail. The authors describe the components and stages of implementation of the described technology, and justify its effectiveness. The results of a two-year study of the pedagogical potential of the technology in training students of Petrozavodsk State University for international competitions, such as the Amicus Curiae competition for trial lawyers, are given. To prove the statistical significance of the obtained data, Student’s t-test was applied.
