This article examines the role of problem-based learning in developing professional English communication skills of cyber security students. In modern cyber security education, students need English not only for reading technical materials, but also for discussing risks, explaining incidents, presenting solutions, and communicating with international specialists. Problem-based learning creates realistic classroom situations in which students analyze professional problems, work collaboratively, make decisions, and use English for meaningful communication. The article discusses how problem-based learning can improve professional vocabulary, speaking fluency, critical thinking, teamwork, and confidence in English for Specific Purposes classes. Using a descriptive-analytical approach, the study explores the pedagogical value of problem-based learning for cyber security students and suggests a practical lesson model for English instructors. The article concludes that problem-based learning is an effective method for connecting language learning with real professional challenges in cyber security education.
