This article explores modern methodological approaches to teaching English in
technical higher education institutions. With the rapid advancement of science and technology,
the integration of English language instruction into engineering and technological curricula has
become crucial. The study analyzes effective strategies for enhancing students' professional
communication skills in English, focusing on subject-specific vocabulary acquisition, technical
reading, writing, and speaking competence. Emphasis is placed on the use of task-based learning,
content and language integrated learning (CLIL), and project-based activities to foster
motivation and contextual learning. Moreover, the paper highlights the significance of digital
tools and platforms, including simulations, mobile applications, and virtual labs, which play a
transformative role in improving language proficiency among future engineers and technologists.
The results demonstrate that adapting teaching methods to the needs of technical students leads
to better engagement, practical knowledge application, and improved language outcomes.
Recommendations are offered for curriculum designers and language instructors aiming to align
English teaching with the professional goals of technical students.
