ENGLISH TEACHING METHODOLOGY OF GENERAL EDUCATION IN COLLEGE

Abstract

The problem on textual material and education method for non-English majors of college has been discussed intensively. We have attempted a method for the students of English classes majoring medical professionals, in College of Medical Care and Technology, Gunma University. The lack of interest in English classes of general education have stemmed from the dense curriculum with specialized subjects for medical professionals in addition to the hard preparation for the entrance examination. An experimental syllabus is stated on the basis of the fact that the most effective way to remove the precreated conceptional block toward English from the students is to select suitable topics which would attract their attention. Also, an experimental method attempted for the classes of English translation into Japanese will be discussed in combined with sight translation.
