The use of authentic materials in the teaching of military-specific disciplines in English

Abstract

The use of authentic materials in the teaching of military-specific disciplines in English within higher military education institutions constitutes one of the leading methodological approaches that integrates language training with the development of professional competence among future officers. The authenticity of instructional content enables the creation of an educational environment that closely replicates the real conditions of military communication, thereby facilitating the simultaneous development of professional and communicative skills, critical thinking, and the ability to operate effectively within a multinational military setting.
