Abstract
Terminology is a pivotal element in acquisition and perfection of the science and technology language competence. For the EOP teachers and learners, it is extremely critical to present, perceive and assimilate systemic terms correctly and use them fluently in the professional discourse so as to grasp and assimilate the course contents properly. On the basis of exhaustive examples from the field of “Ship construction” and “Marine Power Plants” professional discourse, the technique of terminology selection, description and study was demonstrated. The traditional approaches to terminology system analysis, such as morphological, syntactic, and semantic ones have been applied. The completeness of the study would be insufficient without the use of such powerful instrument of research as a cognitive analysis. Its efficiency is demonstrated in the article on the basis of terminology classification description. The applicability of the results obtained was considered in the light of EOP
teaching and learning strategies aimed at the improvement of the professional discourse in the environment of Chinese and Ukrainian maritime college and university studies.
