The literature concerning collaborative governance PA discourse creation has been thoroughly studied by the author. The experience of the creation of international collaborative governance PA discourse during ELT (English Language Teaching) and ESP (English for Specific Purposes) training of PA students at the Institute for Social Sciences (the ISS) of Russian Presidential Academy of National Economy and Public Administration (RANEPA) has been analyzed.

The results of the analysis made it possible to conclude that in modern conditions of globalization and international communication in order to understand better the common values of citizens, to avoid discrepancies in vocabulary application and to improve mutual understanding of civil servants speaking different languages, the unification of the descriptive list of English terms concerning public administration activity is needed; the creation of international collaborative governance PA discourse during educational and training process of future public administrators should contribute to PA activity. The International PA Vocabulary as well as the process of writing new textbooks and teaching aids based on it and using new digital technologies and new methodology should be introduced into educational process.
