Abstract:
The Working Group for the Improvement of Foreign Language Education in Medical Schools in Japan, organized in 1994 and chaired by Prof. K. Uemura, M.D. lists here English teaching materials for medical purposes. More than half of the materials listed are those that one of the group members, T. Ohki, has used or wants to use in his classes. The list has been enlarged due to the responses to the questionnare sent to those who participated in the first workshop held in 1995. The list is divided into 12 categories: listening & reading, writing, medical terminology, pronunciation, textbooks for training the four skills, essays on medicine, fictional stories about medicine & medical doctors, medical ethics and terminal care, handbooks for medical students and doctors, writing medical charts, self-teaching materials. and video materials.
It is hoped that the materials listed here will supplement a model curriculum for teaching ‘useful’ English in medical schools, as proposed by the working group.
