The analysis of the data received by means of such empirical methods of research as questioning, interviewing, supervision, conversation allows to reveal a problem of insufficient level of functional literacy formation of students (213 people participated in total) and a low degree of satisfaction of the parental public (206 people participated in total) quality of the general secondary education of RK. In this regard, the authors propose a mechanism for functional literacy formation of high school students on the basis of CLIL learning, which is universal and can be integrated at different levels of education.
