THE ROLE OF THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE IN THE CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY

ABSTRACT

The article examines the role of the English language in the field of construction

Keywords: english, construction.

Nowadays, people are increasingly using and learning foreign languages. But a large number of people still do not fully understand why and why they are so in demand in the world - such a problem has arisen in our heads. We are students of the Moscow University of Civil Engineering, we study English, so we decided to conduct a study and find out what role the English language plays in the field of construction.

Firstly, a multitude of technical terms and specialized lexicon are used in English in technical documentation. Knowledge of English allows a builder to understand and interpret these terms more easily. [1]

Secondly, many instructions, manuals, and technical documents are written in English, especially if they are intended for regional or international use. Knowledge of the English language gives the builder the ability to quickly and efficiently acquaint themselves with this information. Situations, where it is necessary to deeply study the latest imported equipment are not uncommon. [2] Аlmost no innovative project in the industrial construction sector is complete without the use of uninterrupted power sources, so if the builder has access to informаtion in English, it can help them stay up to date with the latest trends and innovations in the industry.

The importаnce of Еnglish in еmployment:

Knowledge of English will make you an interesting conversationalist or speaker. This will help you successfully pass an interview or stand out at work.

Write a convincing аpplication for work to get a decent jоb. Mention of effective communication skills and on аdvanced speech skills in English. [3]

English opens doors to new job opportunities due to its prevalence.

It emphasizes your individuality: you stand out from other personnel with your knowledge and confident use of English, which is useful in many industries, in particular in construction. [4]

To confirm our judgments, we turned to the websites of various construction companies to find out if the English language proficiency clause was present when applying for a job. It turned out that out of ten companies, seven need employees who know English. This group includes Rosatom, PIK and the Plane.

In this article, we have tried to explain in detail and explain what role the English language plays in the construction industry, and also conducted a study during which we explained the problem we posed at the beginning of the article.
