Abstract

This article attempts to substantiate the significant role of the English language in the education of students pursuing a career in architecture. It outlines the objectives of mastering this discipline, encompassing both standard educational requirements and goals of personal significance. Empirical and theoretical methods were employed to conduct the study and present its findings, enabling not only data collection but also analysis and synthesis. A survey was used to identify universal skills of professional importance to architects, and effective methods for developing these skills during English language study are proposed.
