This detailed teaching material on jargon and technical language provides students with essential skills to recognize, understand, and use professional vocabulary and specialized terminology correctly. With a strong focus on contextual language, field-specific vocabulary, domain-related expressions, and academic terminology, the four instructional pages explore the structure, use, and effect of jargon in fields such as medicine, law, technology, and science. It addresses linguistic register, clarity in communication, audience adaptation, and barriers caused by language. The material includes rules, detailed examples, and explanations of acronyms, abbreviations, buzzwords, slang vs. jargon, and industry terms. Students learn how terminology varies across contexts and how precise word choice, professional phrasing, and technical clarity impact understanding. The exercises support language awareness, register control, and audience-based communication strategies. Tasks focus on semantic accuracy, word formation, meaning in context, style variation, and register-appropriate communication. The resource includes 4 informative pages, a large final summary, and diverse tasks such as comprehension, sentence completions, gap-fills, true/false questions, word matching, creative tasks, a 330-word cloze text, and full answer keys. This compact and topic-rich material is ideal for grades 9–12 and supports curriculum-aligned instruction for international and German classrooms.
