Practice of using the EMI model for teaching international students

the article describes the results of using the EMI model as a means of teaching physics to foreign medical students. The model has been actively studied for several years by Russian and foreign scientists although the potential for its application in Russian universities has not been sufficiently researched. The authors propose an improved EMI model that takes into account the digital technology and teaching aid potential capacities. The structural elements of the model functionality ensures the formation of a productive educational environment both for teachers and students as a learning process subjects. The model helps to reduce the language barrier problem in mastering the course, decrease the stress level among students, overcome the problems of language training for teachers, create comfortable environment for studying. The «Physics, Mathematics» online educational module designed on the Blackboard e-learning platform was used as an online means of teaching and organizing the educational process in the General Medicine area of training. The analysis of the foreign students initial level of training on the basis of the all-India NEET exam result database was carried out. The Physics, Mathematics discipline study based on the improved EMI model and the author teaching methods in a digital environment showed the effectiveness of the proposed model.
