    (Харківський національний університет імені В.Н. Каразіна, 2026-05-31) Vitsiuk Alla Anatoliivna, Sihova Yuliia Oleksandrivna
    The article is devoted to the study of linguistic aspects of professionally oriented teaching of English in medical institutions of higher education. In modern conditions of globalization and active development of international medical cooperation, there is a growing need to train future medical specialists who are able to effectively carry out professional communication in English. That is why the problem of forming professional foreign language competence of students of medical specialties is of particular relevance. The article considers the main theoretical approaches to professionally oriented teaching of English, and also analyzes the linguistic features of medical discourse and medical terminology, which play an important role in the process of training future doctors. Particular attention is paid to the specifics of the use of professional vocabulary, terminological units and typical language structures that are characteristic of the medical sphere. It is determined that effective mastery of English in a professional direction involves the integration of language knowledge with the professional training of students. The study substantiates the need to use modern methodological approaches to teaching English to students of medical specialties, in particular communicative, competency-based and interdisciplinary approaches. It has been established that an important factor in the formation of professional English-language competence is the use of authentic educational materials, medical terminology and modeling of professional communicative situations. It is concluded that professionally oriented English language teaching in medical institutions of higher education should be based on a combination of linguistic and methodological principles, which will contribute to increasing the level of foreign language training of students and developing their ability for effective professional communication in the international medical environment.
