Аннотация

The article deals with the peculiarities of teaching foreign language for professional purposes at the medical university. The concept “Foreign Language for Professional Purposes” is described. It is defined as a special system of linguistic means that are thematically integrated and relevant to the specialized field of human activity. Methods and types of lexical exercises, recommended to use at the lessons, are considered. They should help to master medical terminology. Special attention is paid to the interdisciplinary connections and principles for selection of medical texts. Medical texts are considered to be the sources of special vocabulary. The importance of the frequency terminological vocabulary is emphasized. To be objective, the frequency vocabulary should reflect the terms of the basic disciplines of the particular specialty (medicine, dentistry, pharmacy, etc.). Recommendations for designing the frequency vocabulary are given. The medical articles, used for vocabulary, should be focused on the the latest achievements in medicine and reflect professional interests of the students.
