The study focuses on analyzing the challenges of teaching industrial terminology to graduate students in foreign language classes at a technical university. The relevance of this problem is driven by time imperative. Modern graduate students must know, understand, and use industrial terminology of their professional field. The purpose of this research is to examine the challenges faced by teachers and graduate students at technical universities when learning industrial terminology. We used methods of analysis, synthesis, and pedagogical forecasting in order to achieve this objective purpose. We used the analytical method to identify existing problems of industrial terminology teaching and the effectiveness of teaching methods, including those in the framework of an internal assessment system for educational outcomes. The synthesis method was used to conduct an integrative literature review and summarize the obtained data. data. Moreover, we utilized industrial training methods such as secondment, buddying, and shadowing. The analysis allowed us to determine the current state of industrial terminology teaching. The incorporating technical vocabulary is essential of scientific research work (article writing, master's thesis), reading technical literature and catalogs, and professional communication. A competency-based approach was used in tandem with contextual, communicative, and linguacultural approaches. Analysis of the empirical data suggests that repetition of industrial terms gives immediate results. Graduate students use the vocabulary of the current lesson when they solve quests and project assignments, but over time, terminological corpus gradually diminishes during the second and third knowledge assessments. In turn, the contextual learning method gives more lasting results. Thus, both methods are effective and they are not interchangeable. We believe that the second method is an extension of the first, and their interaction significantly contributes to the growth of graduate students' vocabulary. The article has theoretical value because it clarifies and analyzes methodological approaches for terminological and communicative competence developing. The practical significance lies in the description of specific methods for working with terminology and the analysis of the problems of teaching industrial terminology for further application of the results obtained in the training of masters in technical fields.
