Learning medical terminology in the process of integrated education of ukrainian as a foreign language
Abstract
The article explores important aspects of the use of integrated learning in studying Ukrainian as a foreign language, in particular the Ukrainian vocabulary of medical terminology.
Systematization and improvement of the terminological system in the created integrated courses of language disciplines will contribute to the successful mastery of medical terminology.
Integrated teaching of Ukrainian as a foreign language has the primary goal of developing a complete system of educational and methodological support for the entire period of study, taking into account, first of all, the specifics and directions of development of the specialty chosen by a foreign student.
The absolute educational requirements for the development of curricula and work programs and appropriate methodological support for each stage of language learning are consistency, correctness, systematicity and relevancy of the professional and language material, constant interdisciplinary coherence, and coordination, taking into account trends and features of rapid international development of medicine. Teaching Ukrainian as a foreign language should be aimed at careful thematic selection of textual and relevant terminological material for the best mastering of a certain professional discipline, taking into account the specific stage of study and this category of higher education. In the process of multifaceted interdisciplinary integration, it is extremely important to offer a dosed content terminological load for a foreign student in accordance with a specific stage of training in medical specialties. It is necessary to present a terminological material not only from simple to more complex but also taking into consideration system connections both at the level of the Ukrainian medical system of terms and that of modern interdisciplinary terminology.
Professional vocabulary developed in the classroom during the study must contain basic terms, relevant concepts, and definitions of these concepts with regard to Ukrainian and international standardized documents.
The relationship and coordination between professional and language disciplines in integrated learning are increased if the system of terms is understood and presented not just as a number of medical nominations but as an extremely dynamic logical and semantic unity.
