Abstract:
This article focuses on developing lexical competence among B2-level economics students learning English for professional purposes. It analyzes the semantic, stylistic, and collocational features of economic vocabulary, emphasizing the importance of contextualized and communicative learning approaches. The study highlights the effectiveness of digital tools, particularly Quizlet and Write & Improve, in enhancing students’ ability to independently acquire, analyze, and apply vocabulary in authentic professional contexts. The integration of ESP (English for Specific Purposes) and TBLT (Task-Based Language Teaching) methods provides a modern methodological framework for teaching economic English. The proposed model encourages active learning, contextual application of terminology, and the development of confident professional communication skills in English. The findings contribute to improving the methodology of teaching English for economics students through digital and interactive pedagogical strategies.
