he article analyzes the pedagogical foundations for developing
global communicative motivation among medical students. Global communicative
motivation is considered as a motivational process aimed at effective
communication, intercultural competence, and international collaboration in
medical education through foreign languages, primarily English. Drawing on
Self-Determination Theory (Deci & Ryan, 2008), integrative approaches to
communicative competence (Dörnyei, 2009; Gardner), and modern trends in
medical education (Hausberg et al., 2012; Ganotice et al., 2023), a theoretical
and practical model is proposed. A pilot experiment conducted with 120 third-
to fifth-year medical students during the 2024–2025 academic year found that
students’ global communicative motivation increased by an average of 32%,
medical English communication skills improved by 28%, and 85% of participants
identified global communication as a key factor for future professional success.
The article provides practical recommendations for higher medical education
institutions.
