According to the entry time, all the students were divided into two groups: students who entered department in odd months were allocated into observation group (n=63); and even months entered students were allocated into control group (n=63). Traditional teaching method was applied in the control group, while ELT was used in the observation group. Nursing students' theoretical examination, practical skills, critical thinking ability and communication ability were compared between the two groups.Results The results of nursing students' theoretical examination and practical skills assessment of the observation group were higher than those of the control group, and the difference were statistically significant (P<0.05). The scores of truth seeking, open-mindedness, analyticity, systematicity, inquisitiveness and maturity of judgement and the total score of critical thinking ability in the observation group were all statistically higher than the control group (P<0.05). The total score and scores of each dimensions of communication ability in the observation group were higher than those in the control group, and the difference were statistically significant (P<0.05).Conclusions ELT is helpful in improving nursing students' theoretical knowldge and practical skills, and cultivating the critical thinking ability and communication ability of the nursing students.
