Abstract

LOPEZ LLERENA, Mayra Delfina  and  PEREZ ORTIZ, Isabel del Carmen. Theoretical-methodological considerations for the implementation of a booklet on lexical valence in English for Medical Purposes. Rev Hum Med [online]. 2017, vol.17, n.1, pp.86-106. ISSN 1727-8120.

Lexical competence, as part of communicative competence, takes into account a series of elements among which mastering lexical valence is one of the factors allowing to distinguish native language speakers from people who study a foreign or a second language. The article presents methodological considerations for the implementation of a booklet on lexical valence in English for Medical Purposes which, developed from students and professors' cognitive needs, aims to improve fifth year medical students' technolect. It makes terms enriching technolect easier to practice and to acquire; therefore contributing to a contextualized, fast and more efficient learning by students. Apart from the practical character of the proposal, its theoretical basis can be used as reference for the development of other booklets.

Keywords : lexical competence; communicative competence; lexical valence; technolect.
