Badania mają na celu poznanie wymagań akademickich studentów medycyny w kontekście ich kształcenia zawodowego. W artykule zdefiniowano adekwatność celów naukowych w odniesieniu do współczesnych trendów zawodowych i wymagań przyszłych pracowników ochrony zdrowia.W badaniu wzięło udział 407 uczestników. Miało ono na celu określenie stanu środowiska uczenia się studentów na oddziale łaciny i języków obcych, w szczególności dotyczyło jakości i efektywności uczenia się i nauczania przedmiotu „język angielski do celów zawodowych”. Wyniki dowodzą, że wszystkie wymienione cele naukowe przedmiotu „Angielski do celów zawodowych” odpowiadają wymaganiom akademickim studentów medycyny. Potwierdza to istotnie większa liczba odpowiedzi „bardzo ważne” i „ważne” w porównaniu z odpowiedziami „nieważne i zdecydowanie nieważne” (p<0,05) przy ocenie ważności celu naukowego. Tym samym przeprowadzona analiza wyników badań ankietowych dotyczących wymagań akademickich studentów medycyny potwierdziła trafność stawianych celów akademickich w kontekście kształcenia zawodowego przyszłych lekarzy. System celów akademickich sprzyja realizacji podejścia opartego na kompetencjach w wyższym szkolnictwie medycznym, a co za tym idzie rozwijaniu profesjonalnej gotowości do komunikowania się w środowisku medycznym z pracownikami służby zdrowia i pacjentami.

The research aims at studying academic requirements of medical students in the context of their professional education. The paper defines the appropriateness of academic goals in relation to modern professional trends and requirements of future health care professionals.The survey involved 407 participants. It was directed at defining the state of student’s learning environment at the department of Latin and foreign languages, in particular it concerned the quality and efficacy of learning and teaching the subject “English for professional purposes”. The results prove that all of the defined academic aims of the subject “English for professional purposes” correspond to academic requirements of medical students. The following is confirmed by a significantly higher number of responses “very important” and “important” compared to the responses “unimportant” and “absolutely unimportant” (p<0.05), while evaluating the importance of the academic aim. Thus, the performed analysis of survey results concerning the academic requirements of medical students confirmed the appropriateness of setting academic goals in the context of professional education of future physicians. The system of academic goals aids realization of competence-based approach in higher medical education and consequently the development of professional readiness to communicate in a medical setting with health care professionals and patients.
Along with switching to on-line conversations on a global level due to quarantine restrictions, the importance of English language competency, becomes from day to day more and more evident. Since the initiation of quarantine it has become essential for higher education institutions to launch the search on new forms and methods capable of not only teaching foreign language, but of developing creative thinking and communication skills in future professionals. The paper describes the specifics of storytelling as a modern communication tool, suggests a new approach to the development and evaluation of communication skills in English by the technique of student storytelling online and proves the effectiveness of this technique. The research was conducted on the basis of Foreign (Professional) Language Curricula at three Ukrainian Universities, namely: Danylo Halytsky Lviv National Medical University, Lutsk Pedagogical College, and Lesya Ukrainka Volyn National University. The research included 78 participants (16-18 years old). The technique, based on the developmental and evaluation criteria related to the structure and style of the whole online student story, was tested in three stages - introductory, intermediate and final evaluation of online student storytelling skills. Each of the stages was followed by the training on the rules and strategies for effective storytelling and individual analysis of student’s mistakes. By the results of the pilot study, all of the three experimental stages are characterized by the dynamic increase in general level of online student storytelling skills (p<0.01). Thus, a designed technique for communication skills development and evaluation by means of student storytelling online has been proved to be effective.
