Комунікативний метод у професійно-орієнтованому підході до навчання української мови іноземних студентів медичних спеціальностей

Abstract

The functioning of the communicative method in a professionally-oriented approach to teaching Ukrainian foreign students of medical specialties has been little studied, and that determines the relevance of this topic. It has been found that there is a controversy in scientific thoughts concerning the role of both communicative and grammar components of teaching Ukrainian as the foreign language. Moreover, modern textbooks do not provide enough exercises to develop professional communication. The purpose of the study is to investigate the application of the communicative method in a professionally-oriented approach to teaching Ukrainian (as a foreign language), and to develop appropriate exercises and tasks. It has been concluded that in the process of learning foreign language communication it is important to present and master grammatical material by students. Samples of tasks and exercises aimed at the development of communicative and grammar competence of foreign medical students in the professional communication are presented.
