ABSTRACT

At the Nursing Faculty in the University of Medical Sciences in Villa Clara, under the qualitative approach, a development study was carried out, to contribute to the accelerated learning of the English language with specific purposes in nurses. Different techniques were applied, for instance, questionnaires, interviews, etc. The results were contrasted. It was concluded that these professionals have not an appropriate level of development about the communicative competences in English. That is why, it was taken into account the identification of these professionals' learning necessities in the up-graded learning process and the lack of any other proposals. It was elaborated a course with the previous elements, accompanied by a material aid, and the methodological orientations. The final product was validated by selected specialists, they recommended its implementation at the University of Medical Sciences in Villa Clara.
