Content of the Сourse-book for the Students of the Specialty  ’’Technologies of Medical Treatment and Diagnosing’’

When designing a course-book for the students of the specialty “Technologies of Medical Treatment and Diagnosing” to be studied at the lessons of English (Bachelor’s level) it is advisable to include such topics into the syllable: 1. Analysis of Various Parameters by Hematology Analyzers. 2. Red Blood Cell Count and Hemoglobin Measurement. 3. Reticulocyte Count. 4. White Blood Cell Count and Differential. 5. Platelet Count, Mean Platelet Volume, and Platelet Differential Width. 6. Platelets. 7. Red Cell Variations and Inclusions. 8. Parasites, Microorganisms and Nonhemotopoietic Cells in the Peripheral Blood. 9. Fundamentals of Bone Marrow Examination. 10. Granulomatous Changes. 11. Bone Marrow Necrosis/Infarction. 12. Anemia: Morphological and Etiological Classification. 13. Hemoglobin Structure and Synthesis. 14. Laboratory Investigation of Hemoglobinopathies. 15. Changes in White Cell Counts. 16 Platelet Disorders [2, p.1]. 
Let’s take the first unit “Analysis of Various Parameters by Hemoglobin Measurement”. It should contain the key words of general character and basic terminology (vocabulary items of professional communication character). The key words section should include: to ensure=make sure, guarantee; approximately= very near to, about right; to report=to inform; to suggest=consider as a possibility; to compare=to point the likeness or relation between; to detect=to find out; to reduce=make less; meaningful=significant, adjust=put right, put in order, regulate, make suitable, or convenient for use; to verify=to test the truth or accuracy of something, etc. 
Basic terminology section will include such vocabulary items: anemia, thrombocytopenia, leukemia, polycythemia, thrombocytosis, leukocytosis, blast, red blood cell-related numbers, platelet-related numbers, neutrophils, lymphocytes, monocytes, eosinophils, turbidity, impedance, etc. basophils. Analyzing the register we should state that the passive voice is used very often: “…are reported as abnormal”, “…messages provided by the analyzer”, “…numbers are printed”, “…review …must be conducted”, [2, p.1], “…a smell aperture surrounded by electrodes” [2, p.2], “…one channel is used», “…sulfhemoglobin is not converted into cyanomethemoglobin”, “…the hemoglobin value in smokers may be falsely elevated’’, “…which is then converted…”, “…absorbance of light…is measured…’’[2, p.3]. For listening it’s advisable to use exercise 1 (Listening) from Unit 8 in the book’’ Oxford English for Careers. Nursing 2’’ which represents a path lab report for one of the departments of the hospital and contains such headings as Specimen analyzed, Specimen size, Specimen shape, Results and Summary [1, p.50]. The course-book should contain such lexical exercises as multiple choice, true - false, completion of sentences, closed and open-ended questions, analysis of combining forms of the terms, etc. One of the major skills of the laboratory workers in their professional settings will be the capability to consult a physician on the issues connected with laboratory diagnosing and manifestation of diseases. So we may summarize that the tasks presented in the course-book should be correlated with the activities the students will have to face   in the medical environment.
