Abstract

The increasing globalization of higher education has led to the widespread use of English as a medium of instruction in economics. However, the complexity of economic theories combined with linguistic barriers creates significant challenges for non-native speakers. This study aims to identify and systematize effective methods for simplifying economic concepts in English without compromising academic rigor. The research is based on cognitive load theory, applied linguistics, and modern pedagogical approaches. The findings demonstrate that strategies such as linguistic simplification, contextualization, visualization, structured explanation, analogical reasoning, interactive teaching, and bilingual support significantly improve comprehension and knowledge retention. The results have practical implications for educators, curriculum designers, and students in English-medium instruction environments.
