Health Education in Language Learning in the Light of Cirricula and Books to Learn Foreign Languages

Abstract

According to the current core curriculum, the leading role in the school health education is played by physical education. To ensure greater efficiency in health-related learning content should be constantly present in other school subjects. Excellent conditions for the implementation of health education create foreign language lessons. This is shown not only in an analysis of the curriculum of the subject, but also in suggestions of methodologists, and above all, the analysis allowed for use in schools textbooks. The realization of health education in the framework of a modern foreign language depends largely on the decision of the teacher. It is, therefore, necessary to sensitize teachers, and especially students of foreign philology, specializing in teaching, to the need for integrating health-related content with a program of language learning. International studies have shown that this practice is not only improving the health of students, but also increases the educational achievements of students.
