ABSTRACT
Background: the English language discipline is essential for the Health Technology Faculty careers, not only to increase the cultural and information background of the students but also for their own future professional development.Objective: to characterize the integration of communicative abilities in the English IV subject in the cytology-histology–pathology career.
Methods: a descriptive cross-sectional study was carried out from September 2011 to may 2012. The sample comprised 10 professors and 20 students of the 2nd year of the cytologyhistology–pathology career of the Health Technology Faculty. Different methods were applied. Theoretical methods: analytic-synthetic and inductive-deductive; empirical methods: documents review, observation of classes and surveys to the professors and students.
Results: the syllabus and the methodological guidelines don´t propose how to integrate the four communicative skills of the language, methodological deficiencies were observed in the lessons, the students recognize their lack of skills to communicate in the English language, the teachers declare that the different careers don´t favor the integration of skills in a general way, and they express the necessity to develop a communicative competence and knowledge acquisition.
Conclusions: the integration of communicative abilities in the subject English IV of the cytology-histology–pathology career was characterized, methodological deficiencies for the integration of the four fundamental skills of the English language were observed. This problem doesn´t favor the acquisition of a proper communicative competence on the part of the students.
