Abstract

The development of international academic exchanges has brought a growing de-mand for college English teaching. English for academic purposes (EAP) is playing an increasingly important role in students' study and research. In this essay, a conclusion of college English curricu-lum in the Third Military Medical University was introduced with the theoretic and practical back-ground of oral English for academic purposes (OEAP) teaching. The training strategies of OEAP abilities were discussed from multi-level teaching, personalized teaching and academic forums. The experience of OEAP training was summarized and reflected through teaching practice.
