КОМУНІКАТИВНИЙ МЕТОД У ПРОФЕСІЙНО-ОРІЄНТОВАНОМУ ПІДХОДІ ДО НАВЧАННЯ УКРАЇНСЬКОЇ МОВИ ІНОЗЕМНИХ СТУДЕНТІВ МЕДИЧНИХ СПЕЦІАЛЬНОСТЕЙ
The way the communicative method functions in a professionally oriented approach to teaching Ukrainian foreign students of medical specialties has been little studied, and that determines the relevance of this topic. It has been found that there is a controversy in scientific thought concerning the role of both communicative and grammar components of teaching Ukrainian as a foreign language. Moreover, modern textbooks do not provide sufficient exercises to develop professional communication. The purpose of this study is to investigate the application of the communicative method in a professionally oriented approach to teaching Ukrainian (as a foreign language), and to develop appropriate exercises and tasks. The conclusion is that in the process of learning to communicate in a foreign language, it is important for students to present and master grammatical material. Samples of tasks and exercises aimed at developing the communicative and grammar competence of foreign medical students in professional communication are presented.
