Abstract

Mathematical language is a key second language for technological development. This study describes the similarities between mathematical language and other languages from the perspective of learning for non-native speakers. Developing the formulation of each idiomatic competence in mathematical language and using examples of evaluative situations. Likewise, the fundamentals of language teaching are underlined to transfer them to learning mathematical language and, in turn, to learning mathematics itself. Likewise, the advantages of formal language and mathematics for technological development and its application to the teaching and accreditation of second languages have been highlighted. In conclusion, it described how to analyze the students' competence in the mathematical language since its fluent use is essential to communicate and express knowledge in the different scientific disciplines.
