Rolul și eficiența metodei exercițiului în predarea limbii române mediciniștilor străini

The exercise method is one of the most effective and frequently used approaches in the teaching and learning process of Romanian as a foreign language, especially for medical students. These learners need not only a general linguistic foundation but also specific competencies in the medical field that can be quickly applied in real-life situations - such as consultations, medical records, and dialogues with patients and colleagues. Through exercises, foreign students consolidate grammatical rules, enrich their vocabulary (both general and medical), develop fluency in expression, and form linguistic reflexes. Exercises may be structural (to reinforce correct forms), functional (to apply in concrete contexts), receptive (listening and reading), as well as productive (oral and written expression). Thus, the method meets both cognitive goals (understanding and using the language) and practical ones related to preparing future doctors for professional communication.
