foreign countries, adaptation of medical personnel to the level of international standards requires

development of knowledge of language and speech norms (phonetic, grammatical, lexical, spelling
and technical), as well as all types of speech activities (listening, speaking, reading and writing). It is
necessary to recognize the fact that only a small part of the medical workers are ready for their English
knowledge development, growth, success in their activities and careers. It can be said that the
development of the need for preparation of a motivational character is influenced by various object
and subject factors and conditions. Describing the structure of personal ability, the following factors
are important in the development of English language proficiency and professional competence of
future doctors:

To understand the features of English language knowledge and to interpret them from
the point of view of medical education.

Complete understanding of the subject of "English for medicine " on the basis of the
objectives, content and principles of higher education in this field.

languages, because no matter how much the teacher tries, his job will remain futile and inefficient.
The desire of the learner in relation to the study of foreign languages and training, his diligence,
interest in the teaching process, the level of aspiration inspire the teacher to the lesson. Besides, the
student with a strong ability can work independently, and becomes the most active participant of the
educational process.
The teacher should also make their own efforts in the development of professional
competence, and inspire and encourage students, communicate with them with the explanation of the
importance and effectiveness of English language learning. First of all, it is important to create an
atmosphere of trust in the audience, and accordingly, pay attention to the following conditions:
a warm and friendly mood in the group;
mutual benefit in students' interests and views;
presence of interaction;
adapt the study methods to the students' interests;
creation of social equality and justice in the group.
The effective organization of the medical study process in cooperation with English language
learning became a necessity for each medical higher educational institution, solving significant tasks
in the field of preparation of highly professional and competent specialists.
