In the period of intensive development of the processes of globalization in society, including the globalization of the language and the extensive growth of interethnic and intercultural contacts, the role of a foreign language in the modern world is becoming more important, since the success of verbal communication depends on the ability to correctly use the means of language.
At first glance, it may seem that for a doctor, knowledge of the English language is not at all a factor of professional development. In fact, if you are aimed at continuous professional development and expect to work in prestigious clinics, and even more so, to cooperate with foreign colleagues, you cannot do without English. Currently, the knowledge of foreign languages became a very important quality of a highly qualified specialist. We live in the time of globalization as well as scientific and technological progress; therefore, fluency in foreign languages makes it possible to more widely use the unlimited possibilities opening up in the professional activities [1].
At present, English is the international language of communication: most transactions are in this language. It is the official language of scientific conferences, articles and reports are written in it. English prevails in the transport sector, in the media. English is the language of communication on international airlines, it is the language of travel. And, of course, it is an important component of the medical field. There is an opportunity to read literature in the original related to the scientific interests of specialist, to learn about scientific discoveries, since most publications are done in English. The National Institute of Health and Clinical Excellence develops standards for clinical guidelines. It is located in England, therefore, all information is provided in the original language [2]. It is also possible to attend various international forums, conferences, workshops. Thus, you can stay up to date with the latest advances in medical science and the latest methods of treating diseases, use advanced equipment in medical institutions.
Consequently, mastering English becomes imperative for acquiring reading skills and a good understanding of medical literature in English in order to achieve a level for communication with colleagues in the USA, UK, Australia, Israel and other countries known for their significant achievements in the development of medicine. By participating in the international clinical trials, for instance, a doctor can share experiences with foreign colleagues. It should be noted, that many domestic clinics cooperate with foreign medical institutions, invite foreign experts to work and consult [4].
In addition, foreign citizens can seek help from various private clinics in large cities, so a doctor who speaks the language of international communication will be priority. There are cases when an ambulance doctor comes to the call where emergency care is required for English-speaking patient.
English is also needed by novice doctor, including a student. With good knowledge, he can study at a foreign university and, upon returning to his homeland, use the acquired knowledge for the development of domestic medicine. Also, students with good knowledge of a foreign language are actively attracted to scientific work, are admitted to various student organizations, they can be admitted to participate in grants, which further allows receiving various bonuses [3].
Working with special medical information in English requires the formation of certain intellectual skills: the ability to analyze information, select the necessary facts, building them in a logical sequence, the ability to put forward arguments and counterarguments. Therefore, in a medical university, professional-oriented teaching of the English language is carried out, that is, basic knowledge is being formed in accordance with the direction of study: General Medicine, Dentistry, Nursing, and others; and their application in practice.
In medical professional institutions when studying English, the main principle is consistent and systematic study. The most important role is played by the selected lexical, grammatical and derivational minimum.
Here we can identify another problem - this is the problem of training English teachers for teaching English for specific purposes. The difficulty of its solution lies in the fact that teachers of special educational courses require both proficiency in the English language and its teaching methods, as well as knowledge of the peculiarities of professional activity[1].
Also, as a disadvantage, it should be noted that students with different levels of knowledge study in the same group, it is difficult, and practically impossible, for the teacher to take into account the individual characteristics of all students under conditions of limited time. In this case, all the proposed material should be studied fairly quickly, as a result, some students do not fully absorb one topic, but already have to move on to the next one. This problem can be solved by creating groups based on students' knowledge of a foreign language. At the same time, students with lower levels of training will receive information that is understandable to them, they will better assimilate the subject [2].
It would be rational to study English at senior courses when students are already familiar with the specifics of their future professional activity. In addition, at the senior courses, students better represent their future, which means they would be more intelligent and more conscious about learning a foreign language.
Knowing English is always prestigious. Regardless of your profession, a doctor or another specialist, if you are fluent in foreign languages, in any company that cooperates with foreign partners or not, you will be considered a more valuable employee. Knowledge of English speaks about your education, emphasizes that you are modern, open-minded person aimed at the self-improvement [4].
As you can see, doctors have many reasons to learn English. The level of English should be high enough. The physician must be proficient in medical terminology, be able to read and fully understand even the most complex text on medical topics. And just as it is easy to learn English by ear, also communicate with colleagues from other countries. The doctor must speak English clearly so that the other person can understand every word, including difficult to pronounce medical terms. Of course, all doctors know Latin, this helps to avoid confusion in medical terms, but a living language is still needed for dialogue. After analyzing all the above points, it can be concluded that the English language is very important in medicine. It is a language that connects the knowledge and achievements of different countries, allows you to transfer and learn from experience, skills and knowledge.
Unfortunately, today most medical students do not fully understand the importance of the English language in their future professional career. May be the reason is in that the program of teaching English in medical universities is not completely perfect, it requires processing in order to prepare highly qualified medical staff who are ready to work in any country and in any conditions [3].
In conclusion, I emphasize once again that a good doctor must know English. Many opportunities will be opened up before a doctor in the professional field. At the same time, if he wants to achieve high results, he needs to make great efforts to learn the language and improve knowledge. Foreign language is not just a tribute to fashion, but an opportunity to be a full-fledged representative of the world community.
