This article examines the application of the andragogical approach in teaching Military English for adult learners within the context of the Azerbaijani military education system. In the modern military environment, officers and cadets must possess professional communication skills in accordance with NATO standards, which ensures their effective participation in international trainings, peacekeeping operations, and multinational headquarters activities. In this regard, traditional pedagogical approaches do not fully meet the needs of adult military learners.

The research is based on the fundamental principles of andragogy proposed by Malcolm Knowles—learner autonomy, integration of professional experience into the teaching process, problem-based and goal-oriented learning. The article analyzes specific methods that can be applied in Azerbaijani military educational institutions, including scenario-based tasks, real operational examples, authentic NATO documents, and task-based communicative activities.

The study shows that the andragogical approach has a positive impact on increasing motivation in the teaching of Military English, deepening terminological acquisition, and forming communicative skills in an operational context. The results of the article have practical significance in terms of improving the professional language training of the Armed Forces of Azerbaijan and updating the methodological foundations of military language teaching.
