PECULIARITIES OF UNIVERSITY LANGUAGE TRAINING OF MEDICAL STUDENTS (BASED ON JOHN DEWEY’S CONCEPTION OF EDUCATION)

Journal Title: Наука і освіта - Year 2018, Vol 0, Issue 4

Abstract

The article examines the role of philological training as a precondition for future specialists’ professional training modernization in conformity with their worldview perception. John Dewey’s conception of education has been considered which acted as a basis for the development of experimental technique aimed at medical students’ linguistic culture formation. To verify the effectiveness of the suggested technique, a program of experimental study of foreign language training at rehabilitation departments has been introduced and tested. The experiment included 253 students divided into two groups: Group 1 studied in accordance with J. Dewey’s teaching principles; Group 2 followed the standards of a “typical plan”. In the process of education, the latest technical achievements have been used including Internet, YouTube, Skype, that is, all possible types of video and audio communication, since to master a foreign language one must immerse into language environment. According to the results of the initial and final stages of the experiment, it has been found that a high level of foreign language mastering was manifested by the students of Group 1, whereas those of Group 2 showed a much lower level, thus pointing to the obsolescence of the study programs followed by the majority of higher educational establishments in our country. Therefore, the necessity of the developed system of language training for the students of medical and rehabilitation specialties in order to improve foreign language mastering is an obvious fact.
