Abstract:
This paper explores the teaching methods of medical English terminology from three aspects: vertical and horizontal learning thinking style, DAR(division, analysis and reading) three-step terminology reading process, and diverse comparative vocabulary learning methods. In the teaching, students are guided to establish a framework of terminology learning in a macroscopic level, to interpret medical step by step and to use some of the comparative learning methods in ordinary English vocabulary learning to consolidate the learning and memory of medical terms. Through these three aspects of teaching guidance, students are helped to weave their medical terminology learning framework, to build a terminology learning library, and to turn terminology learning and application into a lasting and effective learning process.
