FEATURES OF MONOLOGICAL AND DIALOGICAL SPEECH IN THE PROFESSIONAL TRAINING OF FOREIGN MEDICAL STUDENTS

Abstract

The article describes the concepts of monological and dialogical speech and analyzes the features of such speech in foreign medical students. The features of monological and dialogical speech in foreign medical students are determined by the specifics of their professional training, their level of Russian language proficiency, and the features of intercultural communication in the medical environment. In order to identify the typical difficulties faced by foreign students in developing monological speech, a survey was conducted among teachers of the Russian as a Foreign Language discipline. According to the surveyed teachers, the key barriers to the development of monologue speech in Russian among foreign students are lexical deficiency, the reproductive nature of the utterance, and intonational monotony. For foreign medical students, mastering monologue and dialogic speech is not only a linguistic but also a professional challenge, as successful medical practice is impossible without effective communication.
