ENGLISH AND ITS ROLE FOR MEDICAL STUDENTS Nowadays English is the most important language in the world. The native speakers of English live in Great Britain, the United States of America, Australia and New Zealand. English is one of the official languages in the Irish Republic, Canada, the South Africa. English is one of the official languages of the United Nations and other political organizations. So, over 300 million people speak it

as a mother tongue.

Scientific and medical achievements break actively into life. Exchange of scientific information promotes wide development and introduction of science into practice in different countries. Half of the world’s scientific literature is in English.

Among all professional activities, the medical practice mostly needs a constant updating of know-how. That’s why a good knowledge of foreign languages by medical students is the main obligation of tomorrow’s medical doctors. To know English today is absolutely necessary for every educated man, for every good specialist in medicine.

According to the WHO, doctors of tomorrow must be the «fivestar doctors». They must have universally essential skills: the careprovider, decision-maker, communicator, community leader and manager. The range of skills to prepare a «five-star doctor» should be acquired by every graduate.

67

In order to achieve these, medical students should study and work hard. Life-long learning in medicine is a natural process. Qualified doctors must read a lot of special books and foreign medical journals in the original. It makes doctor’s outlook wider and helps him to escape many mistakes, to develop ability to discover how to find important knowledge and information about a particular field of medicine, to develop ability to work in real time: Internet, e-mail, etc. Knowledge of English helps students to find access to competence within the framework of their profession. And by means of autonomous learning and mastering English, they can increase their intercultural awareness and capacity for progress in education and play a full and active role in community and in profession.
