COMMUNICATION DEVELOPMENT TECHNOLOGY FOR MEDICAL SPECIALISTS IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE TEACHING
Role-playing games have been used in English language teaching for quite some time. After all, role-playing is one of the forms of organizing speech activity, which is very important for medical students of a foreign language. It is with the help of role-playing games that medical students develop such important qualities as a sense of team, responsibility for this team, and communication. Classes using role-playing games are usually very lively, emotional, and interesting. All medical students are involved in the game to one degree or another, so the activity of the participants is very high and, as a result, the psychological atmosphere of the lesson becomes favorable.
Active forms of learning are used in the educational process. Because it is thanks to active forms of learning that medical students have the opportunity to study all aspects of the English language, as well as gain experience in practical activities.
The essence of the technique is to maximize the medical student’s immersion in the speech process, which is achieved through minimal use of the student’s native language. A distinctive feature of the communicative method is that medical students should not perform mechanical, monotonous training exercises. Instead, they pay more attention to working with a partner, doing tasks whose purpose is to find errors or comparisons, where not only memory, but also logic is involved.
And of course, one of the most popular types of exercises is role-playing. When communicating during classes, sometimes medical students need to turn to the dictionary to look for the necessary word or some new synonym for a word that they already know.
Thus, we can conclude that the use of communicative methods in teaching English to medical students in intensive language courses. Medical students studying using this method can creatively use their knowledge, quickly and effectively learn English and gain language practice.
