Abstract	As economies are inevitably becoming dominated by multinational and global companies, the need for Language for Specific Purposes (LSP) is growing accordingly. Language institutes in higher education are trying to tailor their curriculum to meet the expectations of such companies each with their specific technical vocabulary. While LSP courses are basically successful in providing graduates with the indispensable components of language competencies, the reality is that almost all such corporations have developed their own specific terminology, unfamiliar to LSP at large. This implies that the newly recruited employee is bound to be faced with the prospect of having to master technical jargon peculiar to the given corporate environment. The aim of the present paper is to demonstrate how the advantages of and skills in efficient -- mostly digital -- materials design on behalf of the teacher can be transferred to those having to continue developing vocabulary, communication, and interpersonal skills after the completion of formal training. The need for such methodology is justified by the findings of a survey recently conducted among young employees of multinational companies in a major city in Hungary.
