Abstract. The question of effectiveness of digitalization is very disputable, comparing it with other, more traditional methods in teaching foreign languages. One of the most widely used approaches is gamification. An interdisciplinary approach involves a combination of several disciplines, methods and techniques in the study of a single subject.

The relevance of the research is that the model of education has changed and modernized. There are two modern approaches that are widely applied in teaching languages (gamification and interdisciplinary). There are many researches on their effectiveness and influence on students’ motivation and cognitive abilities. That’s why it is very important to explore these methods to choose the best ones to apply in further education.

The researchers’ idea is to combine interdisciplinary and gamification approaches and prove its effectiveness comparing with other teaching methodologies on the base of experiment.

Keywords: interdisciplinary approach, gamification, digitalization, effectiveness
