This study addresses the systemic barriers hindering the development of professional speech competence among students in non–linguistic disciplines (e.g., engineering, economics, medicine). In a globalized economy, technical expertise is insufficient without the ability to navigate complex terminological and cultural discourse. By identifying linguistic, psychological, and
methodological constraints, this paper proposes a shift toward professionally oriented training models, specifically Task–Based Learning (TBL) and the integration of rhetorical modules. The conclusion emphasizes that professional socialization is a multi–dimensional process requiring synergy between language educators and core department faculty.
