情景教学法在医学英语教学中的应用研究--以临床医学专业学位研究生为例

Application of the Situational Method in Medical English Teaching:A Case Study of the Professional Degree Postgraduates in Clinical Medicine

我国专业学位研究生教育起步较晚。目前,国内高校针对专业学位与学术型学位的研究生培养模式存在诸多相似之处,至于英语教学更是没有太大差别。专业学位硕士研究生的英语教学定位不同于本科阶段的英语教学和学术性学位研究生的英语教学,其重在加强学生在职业实践中的应用能力。而情景教学法以建构主义为理论基础,让学生在创设的情境中提高运用语言知识的能力,能有效激发学生的学习兴趣和主动性。以临床医学专业学位研究生为例,探讨了情景教学法在专业学位研究生医学英语教学中的应用,并对如何创设医疗实践中的情境,如何进行课前准备和课堂实操及活动的评价总结,为专业学位医学研究生的英语教学改革提供一些思路。

The professional degree postgraduate education starts relatively late in our country.Nowadays,there exist many similarities between the training mode of professional degree postgraduates and the training mode of academic degree postgraduates in domestic universities,and there is no big difference in English teaching between them.With respect to their English teaching,there is not much difference.The orientation of English teaching for professional degree postgraduates lies in strengthening students’application ability in vocational practice,which is different from that of the undergraduates stage and that for academic degree postgraduates.The situational method is based on the constructivism theory,aiming at improving students’abilities of using language in specific situations,which can stimulate students’interest and initiative in learning effectively.Taking the professional degree graduate students of clinical medicine as an example,this paper discusses the application of the situational method in medical English teaching for professional degree postgraduates,illustrating in details how to create situations in medical practice,how to make preparations before class,how to carry it out in classroom teaching practice,and how to make evaluation and summary.It is expected to provide some inspirations for the English teaching reform of professional degree medical postgraduates.
