Best Practices for Updating Terminology Base when Foreign Language Studying

The field of electronics and electrical engineering is rapidly advancing, resulting in the emergence of many new technical terms. Therefore, foreign language studies, in particular studying English for professional communication, in higher education institutions should be organized to help students not only learn basic vocabulary related to their profession, but also adopt a systematic approach and consistent practice to master foreign language terminology throughout their careers. The aim of this study is to analyze methods and approaches to learning terminology in higher education in order to identify the most effective methods and use them to build a model that encourages students' autonomy in identifying, retaining and using terms appropriately in their professional activities. It is concluded that a shift of the focus from teaching foreign languages to learning them is required. This involves mastering strategies and methods for acquiring emerging terms and concepts, which allows graduates to stay updated and relevant in their industry. A step-by-step model is proposed for students to acquire professional vocabulary through interactive tasks completed in the study room, self-directed learning with ICT (Information and Communication Technologies), and project activities. The model focuses on developing students' skills to work independently with terminology in their professional environment. It can be used to study terminology in any field, with tasks tailored to their specific area of study.
