Abstract

This article analyzes methods for explaining complex economic concepts
in English in a simple and understandable way for economics students. Often,
students struggle to master the subject due to the complexity of academic
terminology. The study examines the effectiveness of visualization, analogies, and
"scaffolding" methods. The goal is to expand not only the students' language skills
but also their economic thinking.
