This study investigates the integration of language learning within engineering education using the CDIO (Conceive, Design, Implement, Operate) framework at Oguz han Engineering and technology university of Turkmenistan (ETUT). The research aims to enhance both language proficiency and technical communication skills among engineering students, addressing the growing need for effective communication in a globalized workforce. A comparative study was conducted over a 12-week period, involving two groups of 25 students each. One group followed a CDIO-based curriculum, while the other used traditional teaching methods. The effectiveness of the approach was evaluated through pre- and post-tests assessing both technical knowledge and language skills. Results show that students in the CDIO group (hereinafter Group B) improved their overall performance by 19%, achieving an average score of 78% compared to 68% in the traditional group (hereinafter Group A). These findings suggest that a balanced application of the CDIO phases can effectively foster an educational environment that promotes linguistic competence alongside engineering excellence. This research contributes to the ongoing discussion on innovative approaches in engineering education, highlighting the potential of the CDIO framework in preparing students for successful careers in an increasingly interconnected world.
