Due to the Globalization of the processes of professional communication, English language is becoming more widespread and significant in almost all areas of special knowledge. Communication skills in English in the field of information technology and medicine are required nowadays. Currently, there is a significant growth of the number of English-language scientific publications on medical topics, in addition, 80% of scientific journals indexed in the international Scopus database are also published in English. English is also the official language of most international conferences. In addition, more and more medical specialists of the Republic of Тип лицензии CC: Attribution 4.0 International (CC BY 4.0) 434 Бюллетень науки и практики / Bulletin of Science and Practice Т. 6. №4. 2020 https://www.bulletennauki.com https://doi.org/10.33619/2414-2948/53 Uzbekistan are collaborating with professional teams and medical institutions from English- speaking countries, and medical internships are now becoming more accessible for medical students, which also requires communication skills in English and confident knowledge of medical terminology [1].
