The problem of academic perfectionism in teaching technical English at a higher education institution stems from a number of external and internal factors – the current educational targets set by managing social groups and student ambitions. The research methods included the analysis of objectives, contents and teaching methods intended for the first and second year bachelor degree students. The findings show that the target competence, being focused on the technical English, also incorporates the ability to solve communicative tasks in a wide variety of social and business situations. Therefore, pedagogical activity is determined by three vast areas – technical English, general English, and business communication. Academic perfectionism has certain distinctions depending on the level of student communicative competence. At the beginner level academic perfectionism is caused by the intention to reach ambitious educational goals for a short period of time. However, at the advanced level the ultimate goal is undefined. Academic perfectionism is determined by student motivation and the immense language material in the technical areas available for perfecting language skills. In either case, academic perfectionism poses risks of workaholism and burnout.
