The authors analyzed approaches to defining its essence. It is concluded that the health culture of a student is an integral component of his/her professionalism: on the one hand, it is a specific direction of professional training, and on the other, it is an important component of health-oriented educational and professional activities. It is assumed that English classes can play a significant role in the formation of the health culture. At the beginning of the academic year a survey to understand students’ awareness and interest in this issue was accomplished. As it showed only 13 % of students had a high level of formation of the health culture and 52 % of students had a low level of the formation of health culture. The authors developed and implemented a number of activities aimed at the development of the awareness of young people about alcohol, drugs, unwanted pregnancy and the necessity to lead a healthy lifestyle. It is found out that after these classes the attitude to the health has drastically changed. Thus, 22 % of students demonstrated the high level of heath culture development, and the level of students with the low level of health culture has decreased to 27 %.
