Abstract: This article explores effective methods of teaching economic
terminology to students of economics through the CVI (Content and Vocabulary
Integrated) approach, which emphasizes the simultaneous development of subject
knowledge and professional vocabulary. The study highlights how integrating
economic content with targeted vocabulary instruction enhances learners’
comprehension, retention, and practical use of specialized terms. Drawing on
contemporary pedagogical theories and classroom practices, the article examines
strategies such as contextualized reading, task-based learning, case studies,
collaborative activities, and authentic materials related to economic discourse. The
findings suggest that the CVI approach promotes deeper conceptual understanding,
supports communicative competence in professional contexts, and increases students’
motivation by linking language learning directly to their academic field. The study
underscores the value of integrated instruction for preparing economics students to
operate effectively in academic and real-world economic environments.
