Students need English not only in the process of university education, but their future careers are inextricably linked with this language. In order to carry out high-quality professional activities in the process of international exchange, graduates of a non-philological higher educational institution should have the opportunity to carry out field activities in a foreign language environment. Informal feedback from students also supports their position that they need formal instruction in foreign language learning to be successful in their future careers or careers. At the same time, after graduation, students can pursue master's and Ph.D. must know English at the lower or upper B2 level. They are required to pass the international GMAT, SAT, GRE exams for their work and academic career in general secondary schools in our republic. Also, in the era of developing the STEAM approach in education, future professionals need to have knowledge of English reading, writing, speaking and professional lexicon in order to become a suitable staff for these requirements. Below, we will consider the importance of terminology, terms and their types, and the importance of professional lexicon in foreign language learning. Most people agree that teaching technical vocabulary should not fall under the purview of the ESP teacher. However, there are times when ESP teachers have to make sure that the students understand the technical terms that are used in a text or in an exercise. It will be simpler for teachers to select the best teaching strategies for each student the more familiar they are with their classrooms.
