Abstract- This study investigates the effectiveness of language support in enhancing subject teaching, particularly for non-native speakers facing challenges in understanding complex academic terminology. Through a survey of students, it was found that teacher oral explanations are the most common form of language support still, the technical language and limited exposure outside the classroom remain significant barriers. While interactive methods like class discussions and digital resources improved comprehension, the findings suggest a need for more varied and innovative language support strategies. Unexpectedly, students heavily relied on online resources and traditional glossaries, highlighting gaps in personalized support. This study opens avenues for further research into subject-specific language support, the role of technology, and the long- term impacts of such interventions on academic success. The findings underscore the importance of integrating diverse language support methods to ensure educational equity and inclusivity.
