Sažetak
The aim of this project is to collect the vocabulary necessary for medical students both for their studies and their later work. This paper starts with the short history of ESP (English for Specific Purposes) and its impact on the classroom. Theoretical background includes the works of Schmitt (2010) who points out the importance of consulting with experts in a specialist field Nation (2008) emphasizes the problem of the size of the specialized vocabulary which can vary between 1, 000 to 5, 000 words. Woodward-Kron (2008) carried out a study in which they established that students’ knowledge of a discipline is closely tied to the specialized language of that discipline. Also, the use of technical dictionaries as a help in identifying vocabulary will be mentioned (Chung and Nation, 2004). However, this research is based on students’ finding of the words they think are the most useful for their purposes. They collect words while preparing their presentations on certain body systems and combine them in the glossary useful for all medical students. In the end, the conclusion is be brought based on the analysis of words and collocations included in the student’s medical glossary.
