留学生医学细胞生物学全英文教学探索

An exploratory study on teaching in Medical Cell Biology for international students in English

新疆医科大学从1992年首次招收留学生,2001年开展规模化留学生教育。目前留学生已遍及巴基斯坦、印度、阿富汗、沙特阿拉伯、独联体、科尼亚、韩国、英国和美国等26个国家,学历层次涵盖本科、硕士、博士,形成了比较完善的对外医学教育体系。生物学教研室从2001年起承担了医学细胞生物学理论和实验教学工作,授课学时达1000多学时。教学质量好,深受广大留学生的喜爱。同时教研室把留学生教育列为教改课题来进行研究。回顾12年来的英语教学经历,深深体会到留学生医学细胞生物学英语教学中有4个重要内容必须足够重视,即教材编写、教学环节的完善、教学方式改革及教师自身提高。

International students were recruited in Xinjiang Medical University for the first time in 1992, and large - scale education for international students was carried out in 2001. At present time, students from 26 countries including Pakistan, India, Afghanistan, Saudi Arabia, CIS of Russia, Kenya, South Korea, the United Kingdom, the United States etc. Academic teaching levels covered undergraduat＇es, postgraduates and doctor degrees, forming a relatively complete external medical education system. The Department of Biology has undertaken theoretical and ex- perimental teaching in Medical Cell Biology with teaching hours over 1000 hours since 2001. The quality of teaching is very good, and appreciated by majority of students. At the same time, the education for international students has been listed as an educational reformation subject for study. In experience of English teaching during past 12 years; four major contents in teaching of Medical Cell Biology were deeply appreciated by interna- tional students, and more attention should be paid to teaching reformation for international students. It is important to pay attention to 4 items in English teaching of Medical Cell Biology namely the compilation of teaching materials, improvement of teaching programs, reformation of teaching mode and improvement of quality of teachers by self, and they are important links in reformation of teaching in Medical Cell Biology.
