Abstract

This research starts from the problem observed in the development of the teaching-educational process in the subjects: "English Language IX and X" in 5th academic year of medical studies; which are parts of the cycles of English Language with specific purposes for medical students. The problem consists of teaching-learning methods and on the organizational ways of the subjects mentioned, which limit the achievement of the instructive objectives, since the medical graduates have difficulties practicing their profession in English language when they are abroad offering medical services. Through the application of several research scientific methods, the design of the syllabus could be analyzed, finding difficulties in the teaching-learning method, as well as in the development of special organizational ways of the teaching-educational process, that being appropriately used, the problem might be solved. The objective of the research was to design a methodology to draw up a syllabus to the teaching of these subjects with scientific bases following linguistic, psychological, pedagogical, sociological and philosophical theories that support the principles of such syllabus. The psycho-pedagogical theories used to support the design and the implications of this syllabus were also considered.
