Maybe they dont know the importance of or they lack certain essential skills necessary to read medical English containing many new words or words used in a way different from the wa

Its so important for students to be skillful in reading medical literature. Thats very helpful for their special fie
5、ld of study and their career. Besides mastering special knowledge in medical science, students majoring medicine should be efficient in reading medical English materials. In the first place, many of them want to be able to read texts in English either for their careers, for study purposes or simply
6、for pleasure. In addition to helping learn special medical information, reading medical texts provide good models for English learning, provide opportunities to study language vocabulary, grammar, punctuation, and the way to construct sentences, paragraphs and texts. The last but not the least, stud
7、ents must read widely because only a fraction of knowledge about the world can come from other experiences in their short lives. When the teachers ask students to read, they should notice a balancea balance to be struck between real English on the one hand and the students capabilities and interests
8、 on the other. There is some authentic written material which students can understand to some degree. Some very specialized medical texts, for example, and, where appropriate, teachers can use these. But for some medical reports, news, teachers can provide as texts, which, while being like English,
9、are nevertheless written or adapted especially for their level. Anyway, the materials to be read should be useful and meaningful. Some essential techniques can be used in reading Practice in readingNo one has learned to swim by practicing the skills of backstrokes, flutter kicks or treading water wh

Rather than let the students into “the water”, teachers keep them immersing in the language which comes from the authors as the readers try to reconstruct
11、 the written message. Practicing reading by reading is the only way to improve your comprehension. 2 Match the task to the topicOnce a decision has been taken about what kind of text the students are going to read, teachers need to choose good reading tasksthe right kind of questions and useful puzz
12、les, etc. Asking boring and inappropriate questions can undermine the most interesting text; Although medical texts are relatively dull, the most commonplace passage can be made really exciting with imaginative and challenging tasks. Working in groups, the students take turns asking each other quest
13、ions following the reading. The teacher may ask, “What is the general idea of the text?” and“Why dose the author say so?” These questions require inferences based on details from the reading text. Appropriate tasks can make the reading an easier job. 3 Guess or predictReaders guesses or predictions
14、are based on the cumulative information and syntactic structure they have been learning as they have been reading. In medical English, many words with prefixes or suffixes have fixed meanings, for example, prefix“gastro” means“of stomach”, so gastralgia (stomachache) and gastrointestinal (of stomach
15、 and intestines ) are both relevant to stomach; While suffix“itis”refers to“inflammation”, hepatitis (liver inflammation) and appendicitis (appendix inflammation) are inflammatory diseases. Recognizing affixes can help you remember the vocabulary easily and understand well in reading. The refore, gu
16、esses are more often than not appropriate to the medical materials. Another way to streamline your comprehension is to look at a section heading and before reading it, make a prediction about what you will earn in that section. When you have finished reading the section, stop and compare what you read to your prediction. Were your prediction accurate? What did you learn that was different from your prediction? If the material is unfa
