THE EFFICACY OF INTERACTIVE STRATEGIES IN TEACHING ENGLISH MEDICAL TERMINOLOGY TO MEDICAL STUDENTS IN DISTANCE LEARNING ENVIRONMENT

Abstract

This article investigates the effectiveness of teaching strategies for learning English medical terminology in the context of distance learning, focusing on interactive online platforms. Distance learning has transformed medical education by providing accessibility and mobility to students worldwide. However, ensuring active student engagement remains a challenge, especially in specialized subjects like English for Specific Purposes (ESP). The study analyzed interactive strategies of English medical terminology by learning medical students, including interactive tests, multimedia presentations, debates, and discussion forums. Data collection involved surveys, continuous feedback, and performance assessment. The results indicate a significant improvement in student engagement, motivation, and understanding due to the implementation of interactive strategies. Discussion forums, multimedia presentations, and gamification have proven valuable tools and approaches to enhance student learning experiences. Future research prospects include studying additional interactive elements and technologies to further improve learning outcomes. Conducting research in this direction is crucial for the development of teaching methodology and enhancement of the distance learning experience in medical education.
