| Outline of Research at the Start |
The research will be mainly qualitative, using interview data and documentary analysis, supported by descriptive statistics. It will be a study of language in use by medical professionals, which will be used to build pedagogic materials and syllabuses.
|
| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The research involved a combination of interview-based research, discourse analysis, and corpus analysis combined with software design and development. Background interviews with medical staff were conducted at a hospital. Their most regular use of English was through journals. The research team analyzed 108 articles supplied by the university medical school. To further investigate communication in English regarding the practice of medicine, the team chose a particular specialism, endoscopy, to document the stages of colonoscopy and polypectomy and investigate the documents involved. The team also built recording equipment and trialed it at a local hospital. The team then worked on adapting pedagogic software for use by students and trialed it with two groups of students.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
The research has led to an improved understanding of the structure and wording of medical case reports and a greater insight into communication between medical staff and patients in an endoscopy department. Findings have been used in developing pedagogic materials for students,
