THE ROLE OF ENGLISH LANGUAGE IN MODERN MEDICINE

Annotation.
There are many reasons for people working in the medical field
to learn English. Firstly, because most of the modern scientific literature is published
in English. During the translation process, some essential details of the article may
be lost, so if a person is competent in English, he can avoid the difficulties associated
with this. Moreover, a medical professional can publish an article in English himself,
thereby presenting the results of his research to the international medical
community.
Moreover, knowledge of the English language makes it possible to internships
in English-speaking countries and international communication. Finally, the study
of languages promotes the development of memory, which is also necessary in the
study of medical disciplines.
Key words:
medical, communication, translation, articles, medical
community, scientific, students.
REVELANCE
The level of English language proficiency in Uzbekistan is rather low among
all segments of the population, including among healthcare workers. Sometimes
even English teachers in Uzbek schools and universities have gaps in English
knowledge and do not have developed communication skills. This often leads to
the fact that people who study English cannot master the language at a good level
and therefore feel insecure, afraid of making a mistake in the process of learning
English. Unfortunately, most medical students are not ready to learn medical
English because they have not mastered the basic grammar and vocabulary of the
English language in school. Learning specific medical vocabulary is as pointless
without a basic command of the language as trying to build a house without a
foundation.
Undoubtedly, there are many reasons why English is necessary healthcare
workers. First, most modern medical articles written in English, so knowledge of
English allows you to access the latest scientific developments. As you know,
during the translation process, some details may be lost, so if a student or doctor
know a foreign language, they can use the text in the original, thus avoiding the
potential loss of information.

In addition, English proficiency increases the ability of health workers to
collaborate internationally. If the doctor understands English, then he can explain
his ideas and do your research with colleagues from other states, thus establishing
international scientific ties. Being able to speak English can give you more job
opportunities, such as working with international patients or medical students.
PURPOSE OF RESEARCH
To research the role of English language in modern medicine and put results
together.
MATERIAL AND METHODS
n order to confirm this assumption, I interviewed students and employees
of the Tashkent Pediatric Institute amount of 90 people (70 students and 20
employees). First, the respondents were asked to rate their current level of
English, according to the Common Standards (CEFR).
RESULTS OF RESEARCH
This graph shows the levels of English proficiency of students and staff of
the Tashkent Pediatric Medicine Institute. In general, the level of English among
the respondents is low. About 60% of the respondents speak a foreign language
at the A1-A2 level, about 40 at the B1-B2 level, and only a small number of medical
students have an advanced level of English.
However, the majority of respondents argue that knowledge of the English
language is necessary for the successful work of the future physician. As a result
of the survey, a general trend was revealed: with experience in medicine,
employees acquire an understanding that English is needed in the medical
profession.

CONCLUSIONS
It must be said that the situation with the study of English in Uzbekistan is
not without difficulties, since there is not enough motivation among the
population for independent study of languages. A significant obstacle is also the
lack of professional English teachers in Russia, especially at the school level.
However, the exchange of information and the introduction of a communicative
approach to the study of foreign languages are potentially good incentives to
improve the situation.
Another problem is that people who study the new language are often
focusing on passive (or perceptual) skills, such as reading and listening, but many
do not pay attention to active skills, such as colloquial speech and writing. This
correlates with the results of the survey: 41% of respondents said that English is
necessary to read articles, but only 8% took into account that they can write
articles themselves and communicate with the world medical community.
Most of the respondents expressed the opinion that to improve the
linguistic level, they should focus on studying new words, reading, performing
grammatical exercises and watching videos. Only a few respondents said that the
practice of speaking in English is important. To this end, you can find an English -
speaking partner for Skype practice, visit colloquial clubs or move to an English -
speaking country.
