LANGUAGE MEANS OF THE EDUCATIONAL POTENTIAL REALIZATION OF ENGLISH ECONOMIC DISCOURSE

Abstract

The article explores English-language economic discourse as a powerful educational resource that fosters the development of economic competence, cognitive mobility, and intercultural communicative competence among modern learners. In the context of globalization and intensified international communication, the English language performs not only an informative but also an educational function by providing access to professional knowledge and discursive practices in the field of economics. The aim of the article is to conduct a comprehensive analysis of the linguistic means that realize the educational potential of English economic discourse. The analysis covers lexical-grammatical, stylistic, cognitive, and communicative features of economic texts across professional and mass-media genres. Special attention is paid to the role of specialized terminology, modal constructions, genre diversity, and stylistic devices that contribute to the formation of economic literacy, critical thinking, and the ability to engage in effective intercultural interaction. The study emphasizes that English economic discourse not only conveys professional information but also models a conceptual picture of economic reality, supports the acquisition of norms and values of the business environment, and contributes to the development of both linguistic and cognitive competence. The article analyzes examples from analytical texts that illustrate the functional load of linguistic means in the process of conveying complex economic information. It concludes that the study of linguistic features of English economic discourse is essential for modernizing economic education and preparing specialists capable of acting effectively in a globalized linguistic and professional space. Moreover, the integration of economic discourse elements into the language education process promotes the development of systemic economic thinking, the ability to interpret current economic phenomena, and a deeper understanding of the interdisciplinary link between language and economics.
