Summary/Abstract: The present paper presents some methodological aspects of teaching scientific and technical vocabulary to civil engineer students. We start from general mind-language associations while teaching and studying a foreign language and we contrastively pass to the constraints imposed by the mono-referentiality of the scientifical and technical vocabulary. The acquisition of the vocabulary of a foreign language and its preservation by students is based, among other things, on the associations that are formed between the words and expressions of the mother tongue and the words of the new language. Such associations can be formed between common words of the mother tongue with the studied language; among words identical in pronunciation as the words of the mother tongue but different in meaning; between words of the studied language, which by pronunciation and meaning remind of other words learned in that language and brand-new words.
