Aprendizaje del vocabulario militar

Abstract

Learning foreign languages, especially English, is essential in the context of a military institution because it improves communication in multinational operations, increases operational efficiency, and facilitates the understanding of international orders and protocols. Furthermore, it develops intercultural skills essential for effective leadership in a multicultural environment, prepares military personnel for international missions, and offers professional and personal advantages. It is therefore imperative that English language teaching in military institutions not only focus on teaching English for general purposes, as is currently the case, but also for specific or professional purposes. Integrating a systematic and scientific approach to teaching military English is essential to ensure that future officers are adequately prepared to perform their duties competently and professionally in any international context. Consequently, students aspiring to enter military academies face a significant challenge in their communicative language development: while they receive general English instruction, they lack exposure to military vocabulary in the foreign language. This situation raises the need to design and implement teaching-learning strategies that integrate military vocabulary in English into their curriculum, in order to adequately prepare them for the linguistic challenges they will face in their future military careers. The following paper presents the objective, the scientific methods used, the proposal, and a summary of the analysis of the results obtained from the research
