Lingua-pedagogical approach as a research method of lifelong learning and continuing education issues

the article describes lingua-pedagogical approach as a modern interdisciplinary scientific method. It provides the analysis of preconditions of the approach, which deal, on the one hand, with the range of problems outlined in the conceptual-terminological system of pedagogical science, and, on the other hand, with the objective characteristics of academic pedagogical language, and the development of scientific knowledge about the educational and pedagogical discourse. Scientific bases of the approach found in linguistics and semiotics are described. The author demonstrates the integration of linguistic and pedagogical knowledge in the study of pedagogical objects and defines an integrated linguistic and pedagogic object. It includes units of the lexical-semantic systems, terminology systems, spheres of concepts and their developing internal hierarchical, paradigmatic and syntagmatic relations, which are named and described. The article describes complex lingua-pedagogical methods including pedagogical interpretation, linguistic, quantitative, as well as computer methods. The author shows the integration of lingua-pedagogical methods with systemic, deep, synergetic, cultural approaches. Article provides the prospects for the development of the scientific approach, the connection with lingua-pedagogy as a modern aspect of language pedagogy. The article is based on the examples of terminology and concepts of lifelong learning and continuing education.
