Journal: Modern Economics & Management Forum DOI: 10.32629/memf.v5i4.2569
Abstract
In today's global economy, proficiency in both English and financial knowledge is essential for success in finance. This paper explores integrating English language teaching (ELT) into finance classes to enhance students' communicative competence and learning outcomes. Drawing from literature on language education and finance curricula, it identifies effective strategies such as case studies, financial simulations, and business communication exercises. These activities aim to develop students' abilities to navigate international financial markets while enhancing critical thinking, analytical skills, and intercultural communication. Practical examples and recommendations are provided for educators aiming to implement or enhance English language instruction within finance programs, preparing students for the interconnected global economy.
