Аннотация:

This article explores how educators use sociolinguistic awareness and paralinguistic resources to enhance the teaching of technical subjects. Effective instruction goes beyond technical knowledge, requiring strong communication skills to bridge technical vocabulary and student understanding. Sociolinguistics helps instructors adapt their communication to diverse linguistic and cultural backgrounds, while paralinguistics –through tone, movement, and expression—highlights key content and maintains engagement. The discussion focuses on linguistic accommodation, non-verbal communication, and fostering an inclusive learning environment.
