Development of Medical Students’ Foreign Language Lexical Competence in the Virtual Learning Environment

Summary/Abstract: The article summarizes the experience of using a virtual training programme in lessons of foreign language for specific purposes for medical students. A virtual teaching programme can be a valuable complementation to existing textbooks, introducing new and interesting materials into teaching process. The practical aspect of the development of lexical skills and abilities (assimilation of vocabulary, grammatical competence, repetition of the acquired material) through the use of virtual programmes in foreign language classes is revealed and it is proved that it will greatly contribute to the formation of foreign language lexical competence. It is proved that a person-oriented approach to learning through the use of information and communication technologies, in particular, virtual programmes in teaching foreign languages, will significantly increase the motivation of medical students to study, as well as facilitate the individualization of training and the effective improvement of foreign language communication skills in universities.
