Abstract

Background. English professionally oriented dialogue is an integral part of medical professional sphere. It is closely connected to professional responsibilities and professional competence in medicine. English professionally oriented medical dialogue is a complex, multi-faceted process of workplace communication between a doctor and a patient arising from the needs of professional medical practice. It includes perception and understanding of the patient’s needs, information analysis and specific professional interaction between physicians and patients.

Purpose. The current paper aims to analyze structural and compositional characteristics of English professionally oriented dialogue of prospective physicians as well as to classify main functional types of dialogues according to phases of the medical consultation.

Results. While carrying out the research, the author analyzed more than 150 professional dialogues and authentic audiovisual fragments to select 50 of them for training purposes. The samples correlated with major functional types of workplace dialogues and became the basis for teaching professionally oriented interaction to students majoring in Medicine. Instruction is arranged in such a way that teaching functional dialogic communication (information-seeking and negotiation dialogues) follows the main structural phases of medical consultation. The major structural elements of the medical consultation include: contact, orientation, argumentation, corrective phase. In the course of training, special attention was also given to language aspects of professional dialogues of physicians.

Discussion. Developed materials are open to improve the quality of educational programs, manuals and textbooks for future physicians as additional prospects at medical higher education institutions.
