Introduction: Learning foreign languages, especially English, is vital in educational fields. Uzbekistan is developing day by day. One particular developing area in our country is education. Learning English is essential as a mother tongue for second language learners because of its wide range of opportunities in one's professional and academic areas. Getting command of the English language needs particular practice and training for second language learners exposed continuously to their mother tongue [1]. English skills are crucial for academic, personal, and professional growth, as they enhance communication in various fields and increase opportunities in the global world [2]. The language is important in every area of education, for instance,
engineering. The evolution of engineering in today's globalized world demands a multidimensional skill set from professionals. In this context, proficiency in foreign languages is an essential tool in developing future engineers' professional competence. Engineering, a discipline that extends beyond borders and cultures, benefits significantly from integrating linguistic expertise into its core. English language learning is crucial for higher education, international communication, and economic progression, but challenges may arise due to limited access to appropriate hardware and software [3].
The interconnected nature of modern engineering projects often requires collaboration among diverse teams from various corners of the globe. Effective communication, a cornerstone of successful project execution, becomes significantly enhanced when engineers can converse fluently in multiple languages. This fluency facilitates seamless interaction and fosters a deeper understanding of cultural nuances, leading to more efficient problem-solving and innovative solutions tailored to local contexts.
Moreover, the global nature of technological advancements means that a wealth of information, research papers, and technical resources is available in languages other than English. Engineers with linguistic proficiency gain unparalleled access to this wealth of knowledge, broadening their understanding and enabling them to leverage a broader range of resources for their projects.
Beyond technical aspects, foreign language skills equip engineers with a competitive edge in the professional landscape. Whether engaging in international business transactions, networking with clients from diverse backgrounds, or pursuing career opportunities across borders, engineers proficient in foreign languages find themselves better positioned to navigate the complexities of a globalized market [4].
Therefore, integrating foreign language learning within engineering education is paramount. Engineering programs should consider incorporating language courses tailored to technical fields, encouraging study abroad programs, and providing access to language resources pertinent to engineering. Such initiatives not only enhance the linguistic abilities of future engineers but also nurture a more adaptable, culturally aware, and globally competent workforce. In essence, foreign language proficiency is not merely an additional skill but an indispensable asset in the arsenal of a well-rounded engineer. Its inclusion in developing professional competence is pivotal for engineers seeking to excel in a diverse, interconnected, and dynamic global landscape.
Methods: As we know, learning foreign languages takes work, especially in engineering. There have been many information, research works, books related to learning languages, etc. According to the sciences, we have learned and increased our teaching and learning methods. The current extent of development of the mineral industry demands the adoption of innovations in the practice of higher mining education based on psychological and pedagogical achievements that allow for optimal outcomes in educating mining engineers. Foreign language knowledge is a crucial component of any specialist's professional competency. To investigate students' communication capacities, looking for novel learning methods that activate speech activity is vital [5]. According to . I. Stavytska defines "foreign language competence" as a dynamic combination of knowledge and practical skills. The term determines the ability of individuals to use a foreign language successfully in professional and scientific activities and social communication. The research represents the model of the formation of foreign language competence of engineering students by multimedia that includes criteria (motivation, reflexive, cognitive activity, practical and technological) and levels of performance (high, sufficient, average, low)[6]. Engineering activity is becoming more integrated, complex, and innovative. Foreign language communicative competence is one of the critical competencies of future elite engineers [7].

To develop students' knowledge, teachers should use activities that are interesting to them. For instance, Picture-based activity. This activity helps develop four skills (writing, reading, speaking, and listening). Using picture and picture learning methods in language learning improves students' ability to write explanatory texts in Light Vehicle Engineering [8]; the picture-word inductive model and readers' theatre effectively improve language learners' vocabulary learning achievement by providing visual support and opportunities for engagement in vocabulary acquisition [9], all three learning formats for second language vocabulary, wordword, black-and-white image, and colour picture, yield similar success in word retrieval, with black-and-white images speeding up responses [10]. According to sciences, teachers should understand that engaging their students in their lessons can motivate them with exciting activities. It is also essential to use online activities to engage them—for instance, Kahoot, Jamboard, Flipgrid, quizlet, etc. Online games attract students' attention and increase their critical skills [11].
Result and discussion. As we know, learning foreign languages is important for students who learn other subjects. They study construction, machine technology, information technology, environmental issues, economics and other engineering fields. It is crucial for students to know and communicate with foreign companies in order to grow their businesses. Thus the competences that are given really helpful for motivate our students to learn foreign languages. They can access easily to world trade.Incorporating foreign languages into developing professional competence for future engineers can be immensely beneficial in today's globalized world. Here are some ways in which foreign language skills can enhance the competence of engineers:
