The paper considers the ways of forming foreign language communication competence of future medical specialists through ICT on the basis of foreign experience. It focuses on five most popular medical universities that, in particular, show high results in terms of medical research, carried out by the students directly: Medical School at Harvard University, School of Medicine at Johns Hopkins University, School of Medicine at New York University, Langone, School of Medicine at Stanford University, School of Medicine at University of California – San Francisco. The paper analyses training programs aimed at the formation of foreign language communication competence of future medical specialists at the above-mentioned Universities: program on the general communication language, “Medical English” distance online courses, professional language for medical students, a particular attention being paid to Michael Mitchel’s online distance course in the framework of the Swedish project. Besides, the paper considers the use of ICT means: Moodle, SpeakApps, PowerPoint, and other programs for presentations; online simulators, programs for making tests, questionnaires and games; cloud based services for the organization of foreign language online clubs, etc.

Tools and resources are recommended to increase the level of ICC development of future medical specialists. Criteria and levels of foreign language communicative competence’ evaluation of future medical professionals were found out. An experimental study of the effectiveness of this methodology is explored. The study makes it possible to conclude that the proposed methodology is effective and can be recommended for implementation in the system of higher medical education. The recommendations for improving curricula, developing new computer-oriented tools to improve the level of development of ICC at higher medicinal institutions of Ukraine are proposed. Further research prospects for the development of foreign language communicative competence of future medical professionals by means of information and communication technologies are outlined.
У статті узагальнено досвід створення освітніх веб-ресурсів вищих навчальних закладів. Розглянуто загальні науково-методичні підходи до використання віртуальних веб-орієнтованих освітніх середовищ для вивчення іноземної мови професійного спрямування у вищих навчальних закладах України. Визначено основні дефініції для вивчення мови у віртуальному телекомунікативному навчальному середовищі: постійна наповненість модуля – поступове заміщення елементів віртуального середовища реальним; універсальність представлення – абсолютне «накладання» віртуального телекомунікативного середовища на реальне; ефект прогнозованого очікування – очікувана різниця між реальною і запропонованою динамікою якісних показників по всіх параметрах; представлено інформаційну модель, структуру та ефективність використання віртуальних навчальних програм.
