Abstract

English communication has become one of the most important and effective means of communication in politics where politicians come from different linguistic and cultural backgrounds. The current article examines teaching English vocabulary, grammar, and pronunciation within political contexts. The goal is to equip political professionals with the language communication skills necessary for effective communication in international political spheres and platforms. Emphasizing the importance of accurate grammar, clear pronunciation, and precise vocabulary use, the article discusses strategies for integrating these elements into English for Specific Purposes (ESP) courses focused on political studies. The article also presents the developed and tested methodological system, which aims to ensure effective performance both in learning professional language and in enhancing learners’ political competence during experimental instruction, as well as improving the results of post-experimental testing.
