Outline of Final Research Achievements

The present research basically aims to develop the medical English learning system for nursing students, so that they can improve their English proficiency under the more real-life environment. This reseach also tries to blend the classroom learning and web-community-based learning, and to make these two styles of learning complement each other. The students, who acquire such declarative knowledge as vocabulary and grammativcal rules, are provided with the opprtunity and environment to output the knowledge and turn it into procedural knowledge. And this research will ultimately contribute to the improvemnt of the English proficiency of nursing students in general.
