Flipped classroom teaching design of college English integrated with medical humanities based on POA / 中华医学教育探索杂志

ABSTRACT

The English curriculum in medical university can include English for general purpose (EGP), English for medical academic purposes (EMAP) and English for medical occupational purposes (EMOP). Teachers can dig deeply the medical humanities elements in the teaching materials, enrich the medical humanities knowledge and expand the medical terms. Combining production-oriented approach (POA) and online course, the teachers set up study groups, design medical scenarios, assign production tasks and carry out flipped classroom teaching practice. The three stages of POA, motivating, enabling and assessing, can organically connect pre-class, in-class and after-class. This model can cultivate effectively the medical students language competency, critical thinking ability and cooperative ability and improve their humanistic quality, and at the same time, it also poses higher requirements and challenges for front-line English teachers and students.
