1、学术英语 医学Academic English for MedicineIntroductionA Course of Academic English for Medical Purpose .IntroductionWhy should we learn medical English?Introduction日本宫崎大学Mike Guest(2009)他是专门从事医学英语教学的。他列举了为什么要给医学生教英语的6大理由：（1）医学生学英语，可以与外国病人顺利交流；（2）可以教他们医学英语术语；（3）获取英文医学信息，参加国际会议，做报告，用英语阅读和发表论文；（4）帮助他们真正融入国际医

2、学界，提高他们对医学的热情；（5）熟悉医学英语是高等教育的基本功能，是医生作为社会精英的必备素质；（6）用另一种语言来学习专业内容有助于提高学习者的整体认知能力。Introduction在Mike Guest看来，这6大理由中，第（1）和第（2）是伪命题，因为医生用英语和非本族人交流的情况是很少的，即使有，也可以请翻译帮忙，医生完全不需要为此付出大量的英语学习时间，而医学英语术语太广，所有教学都只能是挂一漏万，同时医学英语词汇是非常规范和单义的，医生完全可以查阅词典，完全不需要专门学习。第（3）个理由相对合理，但只有不到10%的医生对此有需求。 Mike Guest认为，后三个理由才应成为医学

3、生学习英语的真正理由。具备医学英语能力，医生可以真正融入世界医学圈，才能真正实现与其身份相当的大众期待，同时能提高其解决问题的整体认知能力。不难看出，Mike Guest对前三个相当“实用主义”的理由不以为然，而是更加看重后三个显得更为形而上的理由。 IntroductionOverall Objective To help the students with their English proficiency in academic contexts where medicine is the subject matterIntroductionRationales for this cou
