开展生物化学双语教学 提高医学生综合素质

A method for bilingual teaching of biochemistry leading to an all-round improvement in the students' comprehensive quality

生物化学是生命科学领域的一门前沿学科,更是医学和生物学各专业的主干课程,其理论和技术的发展十分迅速。为了给学生传授生物化学的最新理论和概念,我们组建了一支高质量的双语教师队伍,选择了新版的生物化学英文教材,在临床医学及生物科学专业学生中进行了生物化学双语教学;在其教学过程中开辟了师生角色互换第二课堂,由学生自制多媒体课件、讲课和书写英文论文;课程结束后采用全英文试题考试;建立了一套灵活多样的生物化学中英文双语教学及第二课堂教学模式:全面提高了学生的专业英语水平和综合素质。

Biochemistry is a frontier subject in the field of biological science. It is also the main course for the medical and biological students. In view of the rapid development in biochemical theory and technology, the students should be required to keep abreast with the most advanced biochemical knowledge. For such purpose, we have established a group of highly qualified teachers, selected a set of latest English edition textbook, and launched a program of biochemistry bilingual teaching in the students majoring in clinical medicine and biological science. We have also carried out extra-curricular activities, in which students are required to write thesis in English and take the role of teachers by giving lectures on what they have learned through presenting multimedia course wares made by their own. The students are also required to take a final examination of biochemistry in English after they finish the course. With these done, an adaptable and content-rich method of Chinese-English bilingual teaching of biochemistry has been settled, by which the students＇ comprehensive quality, including professional English levels, academic competence and power of conveying their ideas, can be raised in an all-round way.
