THE ROLE OF GAMIFICATION TECHNIQUES IN TEACHING ESP (ENGLISH FOR SPECIFIC PURPOSES) TERMINOLOGY

The theoretical underpinnings of acquiring English for Specific Purposes (ESP) terminology are examined in this essay from methodological, linguistic, and cognitive standpoints. The study investigates how specific instructional approaches, unique linguistic characteristics, and intricate mental processes are all involved in the acquisition of specialized vocabulary. This paper examines the role of conceptual understanding, memory mechanisms, semantic accuracy, and context-based teaching approaches in efficient terminology learning, drawing on interdisciplinary research in applied linguistics, cognitive psychology, and ESP methodology. According to the results, acquiring ESP terminology successfully necessitates an integrated strategy that incorporates learner-centered teaching techniques, linguistic awareness, and cognitive processing support. A thorough framework for teaching ESP terminology that improves professional communication competence is suggested in the article's conclusion.
