Короткий огляд (реферат): This article proposes a framework for integrating a health-oriented approach into English language classes in higher education to enhance health literacy among students. The research explores the practical ways to introduce health literacy into English language education in higher education settings, highlighting its potential to enhance both linguistic and personal development. The urgency of the article is explained by the fact that, in today’s digital and globalised world, English is not only essential for communication and career growth but also serves as a key tool for understanding and navigating different kinds of vital information, including health-related issues. Given the increasing volume of health misinformation, fostering critical thinking and informed decision-making becomes essential for forming students' worldview. The authors argue that English language classrooms provide an ideal platform to address this need by embedding health-related content into lessons. The study presents practical examples from Ukrainian universities, where topics like artificial intelligence in healthcare, work-life balance, and the lifestyle of professional athletes were used to engage students while studying English. Activities such as podcasts, discussions, self-assessment surveys, and the Six Thinking Hats technique demonstrated how students developed both language and soft skills while reflecting on healthy behaviours and personal choices. The research emphasises that health literacy is not just about understanding medical terms, but involves accessing, evaluating, and applying health information meaningfully. Integrating such content enhances students’ motivation, self-awareness, and critical engagement, supporting the development of a health-conscious worldview. Ultimately, the article advocates for a more holistic and interdisciplinary approach to language education that responds to the challenges of modern society.
