Language Education and Career-Oriented Communication Language education plays a crucial role in preparing students for professional success in an increasingly
globalized world [5]. Scholars have emphasized the importance of developing effective communication skills
in various language contexts [6]. Brown [1] emphasizes that language proficiency is a fundamental aspect of
successful communication, and it is particularly crucial in English, which has become the lingua franca of inter-
national business, science, and diplomacy [2]. However, traditional language teaching approaches often focus
solely on grammar and vocabulary acquisition, neglecting the development of career-oriented communication
competences [7].
Career-oriented communication competences encompass a range of skills essential for professional suc-
cess, such as intercultural competence, negotiation skills, presentation skills, and effective networking [8].
These competences are crucial for future specialists to navigate diverse professional contexts and engage with
colleagues, clients, and stakeholders effectively [9]. Yet, the integration of career-oriented communication com-
petences in language education remains underexplored, creating a gap in the existing scholarship [10]. This
study aims to address this gap by investigating the technology of formation of career-oriented communication
competences within English language teaching.
The Green Economy and Sustainability The concept of the green economy has gained significant traction in recent years as societies grapple with
the need for sustainable development and environmental preservation [11]. The green economy encompasses
a range of economic activities that prioritize resource efficiency, environmental protection, and social inclusivity
[12]. As nations worldwide strive to transition to greener practices, the demand for professionals who possess
both disciplinary expertise and sustainability skills is growing [13].
Language education has the potential to contribute to the development of future specialists who are
equipped to address the challenges of the green economy. Incorporating sustainability principles and promot-
ing environmental awareness in language teaching can foster a sense of responsibility and encourage students
to become agents of change [14]. However, the integration of sustainability themes in language education,
particularly within the context of career-oriented communication, is an underexplored area [15]. This study aims
to bridge this gap by investigating how the integration of career-oriented communication competences within
English language teaching can align with and contribute to the principles of the green economy.
