The article analyzes a concept of ‘interdisciplinary integration’ on the example of a medical university, and substantiates the need for developing integrated learning technology and integrating it into the course of a foreign language training of postgraduate students of a medical university. The technology takes into account current features of both the Russian and international scientific and academic communities in terms of communicative situations and types of activities where these situations are presented. The article considers interdisciplinary integration implemented in the course of foreign language training of postgraduate students in the medical university. The article provides explanation of ‘readiness’ as a number of competencies necessary for carrying out professional activities.

COVID-19 educational disruption is characterized as a drive to creating innovations in the area of digital teaching and learning processes, which would boost the efficiency of conventional face-to-face education further. First year students (N-350) undertaking English for Medical purposes course at the medical high school (General Medicine and Preventive Medicine Faculties) were surveyed to identify their psychological attitudes towards a totally remote classroom, that was implemented in the synchronous and asynchronous mode through ZOOM video-conferencing and LMS Moodle. Five groups of psychological problems reducing students’ motivation, course satisfaction and learning performance were identified: academic issues; intrusion into privacy; peer issues; soft skills competence problems; change of routine and rituals. These psychological issues challenge all the educational system and have to be taken into account while providing the pedagogic design for new online courses. The authors suggest creating an averaged Student Profile focused not only on the learning outcomes and academic performance, but involving such aspects as students’ background, course satisfaction, motivation, digital awareness, etc. It requires a more thorough and pointed investigation of students’ attitudes, drives, motives in conventional and digital learning environments. Such a widened Student Profile can drive pedagogic designers to efficient methodological solutions in the synchronous and asynchronous remote classroom. 10.18720/HUM/ISSN 2227-8591.34.02 378.147 covid-19 educational disruption; totally remote classroom; synchronous learning; asynchronous learning; course satisfaction; students’ motivation; academic performance https://tmhe.spbstu.ru/article/2020.21.2/ 2_---24-32---A_V_-Vozdvizhenskaya%2C-N_G_-Koroleva%2C-E_G_-Lipatova.pdf

It deals with the online training organization in the electronic educational environment, which allows students to master the learning programs regardless of their location. The effectivenеss of taking into account psychological types in foreign language teаching depends not only on the individual training aррroaches, but also on cognitive abilities of the students, which influence on the process of perсeption and assimilation of training material in the fоreign lаnguage learning. Nowadays, it is very important to know the particular qualities of mastering and acquisition of knowledge, the formation of skills, relying on the individual psychological characteristics of students: their abilities, temperament, character and feelings. The authors come to the conclusion that knowledge of psychological types and typical features of students allows the teacher to use them in the most appropriate way in the process of teaching foreign languages in non-linguistic universities. 10.18720/HUM/ISSN 2227-8591.34.03 378.147 psyсhological aspect extroverts and introverts individual approach teaching a foreign language rational form of training https://tmhe.spbstu.ru/article/2020.21.3/ 3_---33-40---K_I_-Kubacheva%2C-T_A_-Baeva%2C-O_V_-Suslova.pdf

The authors decided to make use of the benefits this multicultural student population can provide in regard to teaching Medical English or German to Hungarian students and Medical Hungarian to international students. The Department of Languages for Biomedical Purposes have been recruiting Teaching Assistants (TAs) to provide a natural language learning environment and, in addition, create a new platform for our Hungarian and international students to become acquainted with other cultures, share experience and learn from each other. The present paper seeks to summarize the findings of a questionnaire study which aims at assessing the TAs’ motivations, expectations, and perceptions as well as the potential benefits of the classes, where Hungarian and international students work together. To the best of the authors’ knowledge there is a lack of qualitative studies to explore the experience of peer teaching in the language classroom of the medical schools. According to our results both the international and the Hungarian TAs believed that these classes had managed to break the invisible wall between the local and the international students, improve students’ teaching and communication skills and enhance their confidence in several fields. With the study we were also able to gain insights into what motivated student tutors to teach in language classes and what positive or negative experiences they had. 10.18720/HUM/ISSN 2227-8591.34.04 372.881.111.1 teaching assistants language learning motives benefits peer teaching https://tmhe.spbstu.ru/article/2020.21.4/ 4_---42-52---A_-CHongor%2C-A_-Hambuh%2C-T_-Nemet%2C-G_-Hild.pdf

The programmes offered by UPMS have become increasingly popular in the past few decades, resulting in the rapid growth of the international student population. There are many similarities and differences between the multicultural and the Hungarian student groups, but they all have high expectations when they begin their studies, and certain perceptions about learning Hungarian (HMP) and English (EMP) for Medical Purposes. The aim of this article is to demonstrate the findings of an online survey conducted at UPMS throughout the academic year of 2018/19, whose goal was to shed some light on what methods international and Hungarian medical students deem the best to study HMP and EMP. The results suggest that both student cohorts prefer to be active during classes, favour cooperative tasks and group work over working alone, and using their mobile devices as much as possible, although the international students were slightly more decisive in many aspects compared to their Hungarian peers. Overall, it may be said that medical students tend to have shared needs, views and preferences when it comes to leaning HMP and EMP, undeterred by their different nationalities, which assists medical language teachers in fine-tuning their classes to their students’ learning styles. 10.18720/HUM/ISSN 2227-8591.34.05 372.881.111.1 teaching and learning Hungarian and English for medical purposes medical English medical Hungarian international medical students Hungarian medical students learning styles https://tmhe.spbstu.ru/article/2020.21.5/ 5_---53-60---Anna-Davidovich.pdf

Considering the requirements of the Federal State Educational Standard, one of the general cultural competencies of a modern doctor is the possession of communicative skills in professional activities. In order to improve continuously the communication skills of medical students we propose to introduce an additional elective module course for the senior students of the medical university. The article describes the structural part of the proposed special course: «Fundamentals of improving the communicative competencies of medical students», which includes the following sections: information, training and simulation. The novelty of the study is to illustrate specific learning tasks with a patient-centered focus, as well as to analyze a number of situations, taking into account the realization of their communicative effect. Moreover, we demonstrated the analysis of the literary text, A. Chekhov’s short story “Ward No 6”, the linguistic interpretation of which allows to reveal the communicative strategies of the doctors in order to achieve their communicative tasks. The assignments of the special course proposed in the article are aimed at studying the cases to fill them up with speech content in accordance with the specified communication parameters and evaluating students' activities from the point of view of their chosen strategy (optimal, effective / incorrect, ineffective) and speech tools that represent it. The linguistic and methodical aspect of the presented work enables to apply its results in teaching special courses aimed at improving the communicative behavior of a doctor. 10.18720/HUM/ISSN 2227-8591.34.06 378.147.88+614.253 communicative competence of a doctor case study communication strategies tactics patient-centered communication https://tmhe.spbstu.ru/article/2020.21.6/ 6_---61-69---R_N_-Hvoshch%2C-O_V_-Makarova.pdf
