English
Outline
We focus on delivering medical and nursing English education for international communication in healthcare. We design our courses to promote independent, lifelong learning. Our goal is to help future healthcare professionals utilize English in medical and nursing contexts and contribute to the local and global community.
In the School of Medicine, we provide English for Medical Purposes (EMP) courses to 1st-year and 2nd-year students. We help students solidify their foundations in the four general English skills of speaking, listening, writing, and reading. Additionally, we teach medical terminology, reading, oral communications, and writing for research.
In the School of Nursing, we provide English for Nursing Purposes (ENP). In the 1st year, we first aim to help students master the basics of English so that they can communicate simple, basic needs. We then advance to practical English conversation for common nursing situations. In the 2nd year, we focus on reading comprehension of medical, nursing, and cross-cultural communication texts. In the 3rd year, we contribute with classes to teach English research paper reading skills.
In the Graduate School of Medicine, we provide classes in writing research papers in English.
In research, we focus on improving our EMP and ENP education and developing self-study programs using the Internet.
