DEVELOPING LANGUAGE COURSES TO PREPARE STUDENTS FOR INTERNATIONAL SCIENTIFIC CONFERENCES
Abstract
This article explores the design and implementation of specialized language courses aimed at preparing students for participation in international scientific conferences. These events serve as vital platforms for presenting research, networking, and fostering global collaboration. However, many students face challenges due to limited linguistic proficiency, a lack of confidence, and cultural barriers. The proposed courses focus on integrating scientific terminology, developing skills in academic writing, oral presentations, and listening comprehension, and building cultural awareness. The methodology emphasizes task-based learning, interactive activities, and continuous assessment, with the incorporation of digital tools and multimedia resources to enhance engagement. Practical strategies for implementation, including teacher training, pilot programs, and flexible scheduling, are discussed. The article highlights the importance of such courses in empowering students to overcome language-related obstacles and succeed in the global academic arena.
