LITERATURE REVIEW OF THE STRATEGIC COMPETENCE CONCEPT IN TEACHING ENGLISH FOR SPECIFIC PURPOSES
Abstract
In English language teaching at non-linguistic universities, where English is not the main discipline, strategic competence is essential for facilitating successful interaction among learners despite linguistic obstacles. This paper examines the term of strategic competence, its importance in teaching English for Specific Purposes (ESP), and its educational significance. Combining essential theoretical frameworks and empirical research promotes developing the skills of strategic competence through student-centred, task-based, and communicative strategies. Recommendations are offered for implementing strategic competency training into the academic programs of non-linguistic disciplines to enhance students' competence for practical applications of professional communication.
