Nobody argues that language knowledge is very important nowadays. It is not only reliable basis for better communication, but today it is also the source of technological progress as it enables rapid exchange of information and research of common global problems. The development of language skills aims at active expansion of students' proficiency in English. Language classes at a higher school always make use of the texts of specific professional areas(architecture, business, civil engineering, electronics, environment, management, etc.). Such texts should usually be focused on the communicative needs of the students of a certain higher school. However, teaching/learning ESP includes much more than the teaching of English through specific material and content. Teaching ESP combines development of linguistic skills together with the acquisition of specific information. Even homework assignment should be associated both with the speciality and with the skills mentioned. Active participation in various interdisciplinary cooperative programmes on the international level requires academic knowledge, scientific competence and objective evaluation of new ideas. The knowledge of English facilitates the access to the resources of new information. Students and teachers are given opportunities to study or to teach for some period at the most prominent schools abroad. Teaching languages is aimed at raising the quality of language studies and of higher education as well
