This article is devoted to teaching a foreign language at a medical university to students
with a low level of language knowledge. This is a very serious problem nowadays, since
the average level of students at the beginning of training corresponds to the A2–B1 level
based on the CEFR scale, but the exam that they must take at the end of the Ʃrst year
is designed for level B2 and includes non-adapted medical texts full of professional terminology and complex grammatical structures inherent in the scientiƩc style of speech. As a rule, the grammatical base and lexical abilities of many students do not meet the exam requirements level. The authors of the article offer a series of original teaching methods designed to help solve this problem and prepare even students having difƩculties with basic grammar and reading skills for the exam.
Key words: teaching English at a medical university, English for special purposes,
students with a low level of knowledge of a foreign language, CEFR scale, situation of
success, motivation in learning.
