Innovative Technologies In The Development Of Professionally Oriented Lexical Competence Of Economics Students

Abstract

In the context of the digitalization of higher education and the renewal of language training content in the Republic of Uzbekistan, the issue of developing professionally oriented lexical competence among economics students has become particularly significant. Under modern economic conditions, proficiency in English terminology has become a necessary component of professional training, which is associated with the intensification of international cooperation, access to global information resources, and the need to analyze English-language scientific and analytical literature.

The article examines the methodological potential of innovative technologies in teaching professional vocabulary and analyzes their functions in the development of lexical competence among future economists. The study is based on theoretical principles presented in dissertations and scientific works devoted to students’ lexical training and is supplemented by an authorial model grounded in the use of the textbook “English for the students who learn economics” and the mobile application EconoLingua. The results of the analysis demonstrate that the integration of digital tools—multimedia resources, interactive exercises, mobile learning, and LMS platforms—enhances students’ motivation, improves the depth of terminology acquisition, and creates conditions for the systematic development of professionally significant skills.

The proposed model may serve as a basis for the development of new digital teaching methodologies, instructional materials, and training programs for economics students.
