This paper presents the design of an English for Specific Purposes (ESP) course for Albanian-speaking mining students at the University "Isa Boletini" Mitrovica (UIBM), Kosovo. The course aims to address gaps in technical vocabulary, professional communication, and discipline-specific writing skills in the Kosovo mining industry. The two-semester course uses task-based learning and authentic materials, to enhance graduates' chances of employability, workplace safety, and capacity to engage with global mining practices. The course also addresses limitations, such as reliance on syllabus analysis and evolving industry trends, through course updates and recommendations for future research. The study offers a replicable framework for ESP curriculum design in technical fields, underscoring the role of context-driven language education in fostering sustainable development and international collaboration in resource-dependent regions like Kosovo.
