This article analyzes the issue of developing students' linguistic and methodological thinking based on an integrative approach as a pedagogical problem. The study substantiates the need to ensure the inextricable link between linguistic knowledge and the methodology of teaching them in the process of language education. Linguistic and methodological thinking is interpreted as the student's ability to understand language phenomena not only theoretically, but also to adapt them to the educational process, to make pedagogical decisions appropriate to methodological situations. The article highlights the cognitive and methodological capabilities of the educational process organized on the basis of an integrative approach, and reveals its role in the development of professional training and methodological competence of future teachers. The study uses theoretical analysis and empirical observation methods to determine the positive impact of the integrative approach on the development of linguistic and methodological thinking. The results obtained indicate the feasibility of using an integrative approach to effectively organize the language learning process and strengthen methodological training.
