The aim of the study – to find solutions of the main problems faced by teachers working with students of younger courses with English language learning. We have analyzed the main problems that could affect the effectiveness of the training of foreign students with English language learning.
Materials and Methods. The study is based on the investigation of the materials obtained from public sources and on the personal experience of the authors. The article presents the modern technologies of testing of foreign students with English language studying, implemented at the Department of Medical and Biological Physics and Medical Informatics. We have proposed rating method of determination the residual after-school knowledge in mathematics, physics and level of English proficiency.
Results and Discussion. At the Department of Medical and Biological Physics and Medical Informatics entered input rating test for foreign 1st year students with English language learning. After the testing the teacher will receive by e-mail the conclusion in the form of a table with the results of each student and the overall group result and provided recommendations on the composition and level of the group offered recommendations for holding classes with the features of specific educational groups. The work also examines the possible composition of academic groups and proposed some recommendations for improvement, taking into account all factors, such as the countries from which students had arrived.
Conclusions. The proposed method allows the teachers to build a more successful educational process, which ultimately has a positive effect on the overall absorption rate. In the future we plan to extend testing of foreign students with Russian language of instruction, introducing entrance test in Russian language that can also help in improving the quality of medical education.
