Abstract

In the context of globalization and international academic mobility, medical students are increasingly required to function effectively in diverse cultural and linguistic settings. For this reason, this paper presents a linguo-pragmatic and intercultural approach to foreign language teaching that is tailored to medical students. The approach focuses on developing not only linguistic proficiency but also pragmatic and intercultural competence - skills that are critical for communication in medical practice across different cultures. Moreover, the article discusses the theoretical underpinnings, pedagogical strategies, and practical implications of this approach for improving medical students' readiness for international collaboration.
