USING CASE-BASED LEARNING TO IMPROVE RUSSIAN LANGUAGE PROFICIENCY AMONG UZBEK MEDICAL STUDENTS
Abstract
This article explores the effectiveness of case-based learning (CBL) in improving Russian language proficiency among Uzbek-speaking medical students. As future doctors, students must acquire not only medical terminology in Russian but also effective communication skills for patient interactions. The study examines how real-life medical cases, role-playing, and simulations can enhance language acquisition, focusing on contextual learning, problem-solving, and professional communication. The findings suggest that CBL fosters critical thinking, enhances vocabulary retention, and improves doctor-patient dialogue skills, making it an effective pedagogical approach in medical language education.
