以学生为中心的教学法在医学英语阅读课程中的运用

Application of student-centered teaching approach in Medical English Reading course

阅读理解能力是医学英语教学要培养的最基本的能力,以教师为中心的传统翻译教学法难以完成对学生阅读能力的培养。以学生为中心的医学英语阅读教学以建构主义学习理论为心理学基础,以学生既往的知识经验为背景,通过开放、合作、互动的翻译实践来提高学生的阅读理解和自主学习能力,其核心是以学生的需要为教学的主要内容,以学生的翻译实践为课堂的主要活动,以学生呈现出的问题为教学重点。文章对此结合教学实践进行了详细介绍。
