The study aims to identify and analytically describe the features of content and language integrated learning of Russian as a foreign language for the specialized field “Mechanical Engineering” in secondary vocational education institutions (based on the textbook “Russian Language in the Profession. Mechanical Engineering”). The article examines a textbook for the integrated co-learning of Russian as a foreign language and the profession, developed by the authors considering the specifics of the acquired profession in the specialized field “Mechanical Engineering” and intended for use in secondary vocational education institutions. The scientific novelty of the study lies in the systematic description of the features of the created innovative textbook for Russian as a foreign language, which takes into account not only the specifics of the acquired profession in the specialized field but also the multicultural context of new educational models, as well as the fundamental principles of the methodology for teaching Russian as a foreign language. As a result, the programmatic requirements for a Russian as a foreign language textbook for secondary vocational education institutions are identified and presented, and examples of topics and forms of classroom and extracurricular work developed based on existing programs in the “Mechanical Engineering” field are provided.
