The paper deals with the issue of teaching a foreign language with the help of up to date interactive equipment in non-linguistic higher educational institutions. The researched topic is relevant as, on the one hand, innovative teaching technologies are considered to be effective in acquisition of knowledge, skills and abilities, which are required in the modern society, on the other hand, the role of foreign languages is rapidly growing in the global world. The study describes the pedagogical experiment, which has been held in Yaroslav Mudryi National Law University. The purpose of the article is to substantiate the technique of using an interactive whiteboard at professional foreign language classes. Empirical (diagnostic) methods such as: observation, questionnaires, discussions and pedagogical experiment were used to study the effectiveness of applying an interactive whiteboard at professional English classes for improving a foreign language proficiency of students. Statistical methods helped to assess the results of the pedagogical experiment.
