Syllabus
  • Aim of tuition: The aim of the tuition is acquisition of the ability to read with comprehension professional medical texts in the Russian language, to translate them correctly with respect to their content and syntax, and to interpret them in Russian both orally and in writing; to hear with comprehension spoken professional texts and to interpret them in Russian; to make oneself understood in Russian in special medical and routine communication situations; to master the language phenomena with respect to their functional application; to show knowledge of the basic lexical minimum of both common scientific and general vocabularies ranging between 2,500 and 3,000 lexical units (a certain previous knowledge of the lexis is supposed); to use basic medical terminology in Russian, and to use the basic form of written documentation in Russian.
  • The set of knowledge and skills required in the examination in Russian is, similar to tuition, determined exclusively by the needs of the discipline studied and of medical practice.
  • General characteristics of the subject: Tuition of Russian as a major foreign language (Language 1) is particularly focused on grammar and conversation skills (work with medical journals, training of expert presentation in the form of short reports with subsequent discussion on relevant problems, work with dictionaries, selective practising of the various quantitative relationships, the reading of graphic symbols and formulas). Tuition of major language presupposes the development of all of the language skills including the training of pronunciation, spelling, written communication, and the like, these items being markedly restricted in the tuition of a minor language (Language 2).
