Abstract

This article explores the crucial role of terminological vocabulary in the formation of professional competence among students of non-philological higher education institutions. The author emphasizes that in the context of global communication and market-driven economies, knowledge of English for Specific Purposes (ESP), especially terminology relevant to a student's field, is essential for developing communicative and professional competencies. Drawing on theoretical perspectives from both Uzbek and international scholars, the article outlines the components of professional competence (linguistic, discourse, sociolinguistic, and cognitive) and highlights the importance of integrating specialized vocabulary into the teaching process. The study also references competency models such as KSAO and stresses the significance of context-based learning in professional communication.
