Abstract: The objective of this article is to describe how health students rate their language competence after completing one year of English for academic purposes in a higher education institution (HEI), called Higher Institute of Health Sciences (ISCISA), in Maputo, in order to compare it to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR). The description is preceded by exploring the secondary education English syllabi to identify the units which deal with health-related issues. This article shows that 8.62%, that is, 5 out of 58 units in secondary education deal with health-related issues. The questionnaire administered, on 14 July 2021, to 20 first degree students in the pathological anatomy course at ISCISA reveals that 55% of the informants believe that their performance is reasonable or acceptable, 20% report that their performance has improved, 10% describe their performance as good or very good, while another group of 10% rated their performance as negative. The results of the questionnaire also showed that 5% of the informants did not describe their performance. Another questionnaire administered to the same informants in October 2022, and based on the CEFR, showed that their listening, speaking and writing levels are in A1, while their reading level is in A2. The conclusion of this article is that after completing their courses at ISCISA, the informants are basic users of English, ranging from A1 to A2. The article also concludes that communication in English for health professionals will continue to be challenging if HEIs, such as ISCISA, do not increment their current English language teaching load to a minimum of approximately 300 hours in their degree courses.
