METHODOLOGICAL APPROACHES AND INSTRUCTIONAL TECHNIQUES FOR TEACHING AUTOMOTIVE TERMINOLOGY THROUGH PRACTICAL SESSIONS IN ENGLISH FOR SPECIFIC PURPOSES (ESP) EDUCATION

The integration of English for Specific Purposes (ESP) into technical education is paramount for preparing students for a globalized workforce. In the automotive sector, mastery of specialized terminology is not merely a linguistic exercise but a prerequisite for safety, precision, and professional competence. This article explores methodological approaches and instructional techniques for teaching automotive terminology through hands-on, practical sessions. Moving beyond traditional rote memorization, this study advocates for a synergistic blend of Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL), Task-Based Language Teaching (TBLT), and multisensory instruction within authentic workshop environments.
