Abstract

In terms of reforming medical education, particularly in the field of dentistry, it is very important to develop foreign language competence that facilitates the effective implementation of medical and scientific activities. The article deals with the advantages of using video materials as a means of future dentists’ foreign language competence formation during foreign language lessons in medical universities. Taking into account the fact that video materials are the main source of authentic foreign language, their application in the classroom significantly improves the process of future dentists’ foreign language competence formation. The article defines the stages of applying video materials during a foreign language lesson, namely: “preparation stage”, “viewing stage”, “stage of working with video material” and “using video material in a communicative situation”. The article also considers the necessary conditions for facilitating the process of future dentists’ foreign language competence formation through the application of video materials. The expediency of applying different tasks and activities at each stage of video presentation is substantiated.

Presented way of video demonstration will improve the quality of future dentists’ foreign language competence formation process by using the developed tasks for each stage of viewing the video material and enhancing the motivation to learn through using professional video content.
