Research on the Blended Teaching Mode of Medical English under the "1+X" Certificate System: Based on the Theory of Needs Analysis

Abstract

Based on the needs analysis theory, this study investigates the effectiveness of the blended teaching mode for Medical English under the "1+X" certificate system. The "1+X" certificate system, which combines specialized vocational training with additional certification options, has gained popularity in medical education, yet the integration of Medical English within this framework remains underexplored. The research employs needs analysis theory to assess the specific linguistic needs of medical students, identifying key areas for instructional improvement. Data was collected through surveys and interviews with medical students and instructors, focusing on their experiences and challenges in acquiring Medical English proficiency. The study analyzes how a blend of traditional face-to-face teaching methods with online learning platforms can better address these needs, providing a more flexible and personalized learning environment. Blending these teaching modes can enhance students' engagement, promote self-directed learning, and improve their mastery of essential medical terminology. Additionally, using digital tools and resources allows for more interactive and practical applications, contributing to the development of a comprehensive and adaptable curriculum. This research offers valuable insights into optimizing Medical English instruction within the "1+X" system, proposing a more responsive and effective educational approach for future medical professionals.
