Keywords:
student-centered learning, foreign language education, economics students, communicative competence, professional communication.Abstract
In contemporary higher education, economics students are increasingly expected to communicate in a foreign language within academic and professional contexts. However, traditional teacher-centered language instruction often limits students’ opportunities to actively use language for meaningful communication. This article examines how a student-centered approach to foreign language teaching can address the specific communicative needs of economics students. The study argues that learner autonomy, interaction, and professionally oriented tasks play a key role in developing communicative competence. The article concludes that student-centered instruction contributes to more effective and realistic language use among economics students.
