ABSTRACT

Background: the English language is the most used in international communication. Medical universities develop English processes for specific purposes based on the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages.
Objective: to design English descriptors for specific purposes of the Medicine degree to improve its teaching-learning process.
Method: an experimental pedagogical study was carried out at Mayabeque, Faculty of Medical Sciences from January 2020 to January 2022. Theoretical methods were applied: historical-logical, analytical-synthetic, inductive-deductive and modeling; empirical: documentary review, questionnaire, interview with teachers and a pre-test and post-test test with students. The percentage was used as a summary unit, the IADOV technique was used for user criteria, and the Delphi method was used for specialists.
Results: the documentary review showed deficiencies in English descriptors for specific purposes of the Medicine degree. The instruments applied revealed deficiencies in knowledge and use of elements suggested in the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages, which includes the descriptors. The pre-test and post-test revealed a low level of communicative competence; Therefore, descriptors were designed to improve the teaching-learning process.
Conclusions: the descriptors designed for English for specific purposes were evaluated by users through the IADOV technique, who showed a high level of satisfaction in their application to teaching, and were evaluated by specialists as relevant through the Delphi method.
