RESEARCH OVERVIEW

Abstract

This article analyzes the issues of formation of lexical, grammatical and communicative skills in the process of teaching English at a medical university. The objectives of the study are to review the existing methods of teaching English in medicine, and to identify the main stages of learning that contribute to effective language acquisition. The result of the study is due to the need to optimize the educational process, where English plays a key role in the training of medical specialists. Research methods imply the development of a structured teaching methodology that can significantly increase the level of students' training and their readiness for international practice. Proper assimilation of medical terminology and the ability to communicate in English are important factors for the successful practice of future doctors.
