Developing a Moral Framework Through Art: On the Experience of Work with Foreign Medical Students
The article deals with the necessity of accomplishing the important educational goal at the lessons of Russian as a foreign language - developing a moral framework of students. A Russian language teacher helps students to master their professional language skills (preparing the students to talk to patients and colleagues) as well as to introduce main qualities of a doctor, which characterize him as an individual. To cope with this task the teacher often uses various art forms, for example a book and a film based on it. The paper presents a method of work with extracts from the Vera Panova’s book “The Train” which reveal special role of medical professionals during the Great Patriotic War and episodes from the film “For the Rest of the Life” which have a great emotional impact.
