Abstract
This article is devoted to the essential role of teaching foreign language vocabulary in specialized educational settings. Specialized schools, catering to fields such as science, technology, engineering, arts, and mathematics (STEAM), play a crucial role in equipping students with the linguistic tools necessary for effective communication, comprehension, and academic success. The article explores the tailored curriculum design, integration with subject matter, contextualized learning experiences, technology integration, assessment strategies, and inclusive practices employed in specialized schools to facilitate foreign language vocabulary acquisition.
