The content of a course is mostly focused on one domain, which often has specific terminology used in this domain. If students have a low general language proficiency, the chances of them failing to understand the real meaning of this terminology increases [3].

***

Some lexical items and terminology of the foreign language are so closely related to the content of a course that mastering them is crucial to students in order to achieve the course objectives.

***

Therefore: Define the content-obligatory language before and during course design. Expose the students to this language continuously in different ways with an emphasis at the beginning of the course. Let this language repeatedly come back during the whole course to improve assimilation and understanding of this language.
