Abstract:
“The first workshop to improve ‘Medical English’ teaching” was held on October 7-8, 1995 in Hamamatsu. An invited guest was Mr. Glendinning from Institute of Applied Language Studies, University of Edinburgh. As questionnaires for this workshop were performed, we report a result of questionnaires. Most participants shared their daily wonder or questions about ‘Medical English’ with others, and this was very beneficial for them. The techniques for ‘Medical English’ education, instructed by Mr. Glendinnign, was impressive for participants. As the program of the workshop was a little conceptual rather than practical, this point should be improved for the next time because most participants expected to learn more practical skills. Participants answered that this kind of annual workshop was useful and should be continued.
