Abstract

English for Specific Purposes (ESP) has gained significant traction in language education, focusing on equipping learners with the necessary linguistic skills tailored to their specific fields. One of the critical components of ESP is the integration of industry-specific vocabulary, which enhances learners' ability to communicate effectively in professional settings. This article explores practical approaches for incorporating specialized vocabulary into ESP courses, emphasizing the importance of contextual learning, authentic materials, and collaborative activities. By adopting these strategies, educators can create a more engaging and relevant learning experience that meets the needs of their students.
