Introduction: Today, the processes of global economic integration, the development of international trade, investments and financial markets make the study of foreign languages, especially English, an urgent issue in the field of economics and business. A foreign language is considered not only a means of communication, but also an integral part of professional activity. Therefore, in language learning, along with general lexical knowledge, the acquisition of special terminology related tothefield is also of great importance. Economic terms are widely used in international economic documents, contracts, reports, financial indicators and scientific research. If students and specialists do not have sufficient knowledge of economic terms when learning a foreign language, it becomes difficult for them to communicate effectively in professional activities, correctly understand and interpret documents. In this regard, a special approach is needed to the process of teaching economic terminology in foreign language classes. Currently, foreign language teaching in many higher educational institutions and language centers is organized in a sector-oriented (ESP - English for Specific Purposes) form. It is in language courses focused on the economy that students' professional and communicative competence is developed by working with economic terms, using them in text, listening, speaking and writing exercises. At the same time, such features as their complexity, multiplicity, and context-dependent nature in teaching economic terms require additional methodological approaches in theteaching process. This article analyzes the role of economic terms in foreign language lessons and the theoretical and practical aspects of their application in the field. The methodological foundations of effective teaching of economic terms, interactive and communicative approaches, as well as problems encountered in the learning process and ways to overcome them are considered. The results of the article are aimed at contributing to the improvement of the methodology of https://ijmri.de/index.php/jmsi volume 4,issue4,2025 162 teaching a foreign language in amanner adapted to theprofessional direction.

With the help of economic terms, language learners become familiar with the basic concepts, processes, and terms of the field and learn to use them inreal communicativesituations. For example, terms such as “gross domestic product”, “inflation rate”, “market equilibrium”, “supply and demand” are found as basic concepts in economic English, and understanding these terms plays a key role in understanding economic texts, reading and writing economic analyses. Therefore, it is necessary to pay special attention to teaching economic terminology in foreign language lessons. It is advisable to use the following methodological approaches to effectively teach economic terms: When teaching the language as a means of practical communication, dialogues, discussions, and role-playing games are organized based on economic terms. For example, students participate in tasks such as “analyzing themarket situation” and “presenting an economicreport”. By combining concepts in economics with lessons in English (or another foreign) language, students simultaneously gain knowledge in the language and the field. For example, classes are held onreading, understanding and interpreting economic articles or graphs. Teach economic terms not in isolation, but by applying them to text and real-world situations.
