微生物学全英文教学的意义、问题以及促研促教的实践探索

Practical exploration of teaching microbiology in English to promote research and study

摘要:

微生物涉及人类生活的方方面面,微生物学是各类高校为生命科学、医学、药学、农业、林业、食品等有关专业开设的本科生必修专业基础课。在国际化和一流学科发展趋势下,全英文授课具有重要意义并越来越受到重视。本文旨在探讨在如今面向人类生命健康、强调学科交叉的时代,如何结合本学校专业优势,开展微生物学英文教学的课程改革,将微生物学与医药、农业、环境、健康等充分结合,力争做到以学促研、以学促教,打造出具有本学校特色的微生物学全英文课程,将有关实践探索与微生物学教学工作者进行交流。

Abstract:

Microbes are involved in every aspect of human life. Microbiology is a mandatory subject at the undergraduate level covering majors including life sciences, pharmacy, medicine, agriculture,forestry and food. Along with internationalization and development of the first-class disciplines,teaching microbiology courses in English is highly valued. Here we discuss how to conduct curriculum reform of microbiology teaching in English, and what are the advantages and challenges when teaching in English. The teaching system can be advanced by enhancing interdisciplinary communication so as to promote study and research for students and teachers. We take this practical exploration as an example to communicate with relevant teachers.
