MAURI CRESPO, Julia Antonia et al. Teorías de aprendizaje y la enseñanza de los componentes de la lengua inglesa en los centros de educación médica superior. Educ Med Super [online]. 2001, vol.15, n.3, pp.234-241. ISSN 0864-2141.

Throughout the 20th century, a great variety of teaching methods and linguistic theories have been and are still being implemented in the teaching of foreign languages in different parts of the world, but practice has shown that in countries like Cuba and particularly in higher medical education centers where English is taught as a foreign language, many graduates from these courses are unable to communicate in a correct way. However, the different learning theories which in one way or another have had an incidence on the various language teaching methods are barely known in our context. That is the reason why our paper is intended to approach to these linguistic theories, their main characteristics, techniques and procedures for teaching different parts of a language and for developing linguistic skills; it also deals with some experience in the use of a comprehensive approach to such theories in the courses given to health-care providers in cooperation activities.
