CYBERSECURITY TERMINOLOGY AND LANGUAGE LEARNING: BRIDGING THE GAP CYBERSECURITY
Cybersecurity is an ever – expanding and critical field that requires specialized knowledge and a strong command of technical language,
primarily in English. For non-native English speakers, mastering cybersecurity terminology is a significant barrier to success in the
industry. This thesis explores the challenges faced by students in learning cybersecurity terms and highlights the impact of language
barriers on their education and professional development. Through a detailed examination of language acquisition strategies, including
Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL), interactive learning platforms, vocabulary mapping, and AI-driven tools, the thesis
proposes innovative methods to bridge the gap between language proficiency and technical knowledge.
