The globalization of science and industry has significantly increased the importance of English language proficiency among specialists in technical fields.

This article examines the specific features of teaching English to geology students in technical universities. The study discusses methodological approaches, the integration of professional vocabulary, and the use of communicative and task-based learning techniques. Particular attention is given to the role of English for Specific Purposes (ESP) in developing professional communicative competence. The article concludes that an interdisciplinary and professionally oriented approach enhances students’ motivation and improves their ability to use English in academic and professional contexts.
