IMPLEMENTATION OF A COMMUNICATIVE-ACTIVITY APPROACH IN TEACHING FOREIGN RESIDENTS THE STRATEGY OF PERSUASIVE SPEECH

Abstract

The article demonstrates that the implementation of a communicative-activity-based approach helps solve the problem of developing professional communicative competence in foreign medical residents in Russian medical universities within the framework of the course “Russian as a Foreign Language in Professional Communication.” The relevance of the study is determined by the need to move from the reproductive assimilation of language models to active speech production in condi- tions close to real clinical practice, in particular in the genre of persuasive speech during a preventive conversation. The objective of the study is to theoretically substantiate and present a methodology for implementing a communicative-activity-based approach using the material of the textbook by M.A. Bulavina, O.G. Glazova, and R.A. Arzumanova. The article analyzes the teaching potential of the manual, details the typology of speech tactics and the structure of persuasive speech, and proposes a system of learning tasks that enable residents to master argumentation algorithms to a practical level and confidently apply them in simulated dialogues with a difficult patient. Experimental testing showed that the average score for pragmatic parameters (achieving the goal of the conversation) increased from 0.4 to 1.6, and the proportion of residents able to counter patient objections increased from 21.4% to 78.6%.
