Abstract

Western Medicine Chinese is a language tutoring course for foreign students who come to China for professional education of Western Medicine. Because of its importance to foreign students’ professional learning and clinical practice, it has become a compulsory course for foreign students majoring in Western Medicine. In the past two decades, with the increase of the number of foreign medical students in China, Western Medicine Chinese Teaching has received increasing attention. It has become a big branch of Major Chinese Teaching with a long history, diverse curriculum, complete publication of textbooks and good development momentum. The author makes an overall investigation on the development process of Western Medicine Chinese since 1950s, introduces the development status and characteristics of each stage, collects the textbooks published in China so far, and investigates and studies Western Medicine Chinese textbooks used by Medical foreign students taught by Chinese or English. This paper introduces and evaluates the publishing situation and compilation characteristics of each textbook set, and points out its advantages and disadvantages of the compilation. Through research, the author puts forward that the compilation concept of Western Medicine Chinese Teaching textbooks tends to be disciplinary in the 21st century and there are some problems in the compilation of the textbooks, such as weak teaching pertinence and lack of rigorous attitude. The existing textbooks still cannot meet the needs of students, and the practicability and pertinence of textbooks need to be strengthened.
