LSP and Teacher Competences at the University of Applied Health Sciences
Teaching a foreign language course to students of professional college study programmes presents a specific challenge not only for students but teachers as well. Such courses represent a completely new area of language which teachers need to acquaint themselves with in order to successfully prepare students for future professional communication. A general lack of specific textbooks requires the teachers to create their own materials for the purposes of the specific language the students need to acquire. In the case of health professions, each profession requires a significantly altered approach targeting that profession’s skills, vocabulary, and potential situations the students may encounter in the future. In order to be adequately prepared for such a teaching process, the teacher relies on the help of experts from specific fields who provide guidance and help in the selection of topics and specific vocabulary. The teacher also invests a great amount of time in preparing the materials methodologically adjusted for such LSP courses which also involve the choice of specific activities focused mainly on the practical skills. The aim of this presentation is to provide an outline of teacher competences (choosing and working with specific language objectives, language proficiency, knowledge of the language characteristic for health professions, communicative competence, selection, assessment, and adaptation of materials) that are required by teaching English to students of programmes at the University of Applied Health Sciences in order to prepare them for successful use of the target language in their future work.
