Design and practice of medical academic English curriculum system from the perspective of ESP: taking the EMAP curriculum in 8-year program clinical medicine of Second Military Medical University as an example / 中华医学教育探索杂志

ABSTRACT

Based on the specialties and needs of the eight-year program medical students of the Second Military Medical University, the teaching and research section of foreign languages has designed and implemented a new English for medical academic purposes (EMAP) curriculum, with the English Forum on Medical Humanities (EFMH) held annually as a bonding role, which has been developed into a comprehensive curriculum system with notable achievements. This paper offers an overall analysis of the EMAP curriculum system from needs analysis, course design, teaching philosophy, assessment methods to the effects of EFMH, hoping to shed substantial light on college ESP teaching.
