Independent work at the formation of professional foreign-language competence of a medical student

Abstract

The article analyzes the effectiveness of applying innovative methods in the formation of professional foreign-language competence by students of medical universities. Particular attention is paid to the analysis of such methods as glossary, case and tandem. It is indicated that the preparation of the glossary is fixed by the work on oral and written speech, in the course of which the student can make a clear idea of how this terms work. Taking into account all these conditions, the compilation of the glossary becomes an effective form of independent work of students in terms of the formation of professional foreign-language competence. The stages of work on the case are described, which also contributes to improving the level of skills such as speaking and listening. The tandem method is considered for the first time in the article as a form of classroom work that facilitates the involvement of the tandem partners in the extra-linguistic experience and brings to a qualitatively new level the professional foreign-language competence of the students.
