2013年,上海市教育委员会提倡大学英语教学由通用英语向学术英语过渡。在此背景下,海军军医大学开设了医学通用学术英语系列课程,医学通用学术英语阅读课程是其中的核心课程之一,课程设置在大学一年级和二年级学习阶段。由于大学一年级和二年级学生的医学专业知识尚不深入和全面,对学术英语的语言特点了解较少,难以读懂医学学术英语文章,因此医学通用学术英语阅读课程将图式理论运用于教学实践中,从形式图式和内容图式入手,通过激活、丰富、巩固图式,提高医学生的通用学术英语阅读能力,取得了一定的教学效果。

Against the background of the call for the transition from English for general purpose (EGP) to English for academic purpose (EAP) by Shanghai Education Commission since 2013,the Naval Medical University has launched a series of courses of medical English for general academic purpose (EGAP) for the 1st-year and 2nd-year students,with reading course at its core.Due to their deficiency of medical knowledge and ignorance of EAP,students find it difficult to understand EAP articles in medical contexts.Therefore,in order to improve medical students' reading proficiency for medical EAP articles,we applied schema theory to teaching practice,and tried to activate,enrich,and consolidate their schema through form schema and content schema,and achieved considerable positive effects of teaching.
