为了适应新时代的要求,贯彻教育部关于加强高等院校本科教学工作提高教学质量的若干意见,近年来医学院校开始在医学教育中推行双语教学,以培养具有较强国际竞争力的高级医学人才。生物化学是我校双语教学课程之一,在教学过程中我们积累了一定的经验,同时也发现了许多的不足和问题。1.双语教学的内涵及目的

双语教学(Bilingual Teaching)是指除汉语外,用一门外语多为英语作为课堂主要用语进行学科的教学，它不仅仅是指学生听老师用英语上课,更强调的是师生之间用英语进行课堂教学的交流和互动,逐渐培养学生用外语思考，解决问题的能力。即双语教学的最终目标是使学生能同时使用母语和外语进行思维,根据实际需要在这两种语言间进行自由切换。它要求用准确、流利的外语进行知识的讲解,但不绝对排除汉语,以避免由于语言障碍造成学生对专业知识的理解困难而影响教学效果。

2.生物化学双语教学的应用体会 2.1 强调医学双语教学的必要性和可行性

开课前花一点时间来调查和开一个较短时间的动员会，强调医学双语教学的必要性和可行性，对激发学生学习兴趣和建立信心大有帮助。世界上权威的医学期刊、书籍及计算机检索数据库基本上都以英语出版,真正意义上的国际会议,多以英语进行交流，要想紧跟世界医学发展的步伐，不断提出科研的新思路，抑或在国际权威医学期刊上投一篇文章都得熟练运用英语及一些语言技巧来表达你的思想才有可能录用。医学院校实行双语教学是培养高级医学人才的需要，也是我国生命科学尽快与国际接轨的需要。随着我国对英语教学越来越重视,教学质量逐年提高,医学院多数学生都具有扎实的英语基础、较高的英语读写能力,大学英语四、六级的通过率已较高，为医学双语教学的实施提供了有利条件。在医学教育中实施双语教学,不断给医学生予英语语言刺激,让学生逐渐习惯用英语思维,从而提高学生的国际交流能力。2.2注重因材施教，强调教学互动性

开课前与同学进行充分的交流,获取了详细的反馈信息,制定一个合适的中英文讲授比例,做到因材施教。授课时要注意时间效率，随时注意学生的反应,询问学生对本部分讲解是否能较好理解,以便了解学生的吸收程度,并及时调整上课的语速和进度。让学生及时对难懂或不懂之处提问,以决定是否复述重点内容,必要时重点或难点内容可用中文复讲解，但母语的使用要控制在最低限度，而对于涉及重点或难点内容的有关词汇及英美人的习惯用法得反复讲解。亦可结合本校的教学目标和学生外语实际水平,编写双语教学讲义和双语教学大纲,并提前发给学生预习。预习时将教材中涉及较难的医学词汇单独标识出来,并加以中文释义,提前扩大学生医学外语词汇量。还要专门组织老师编写了双语教学考试命题办法和考核办法、英语试卷库和答题示范等。双语教学应强调师生间的互动,主张教学环境、教学资源等全方位的第二语言的交互,只有当英语在医学知识教学过程中得到广泛运用和交流,两种不同的语言能在学生的思维与交流中自由熟练切换的时候,我们才可以认为双语教学获得了成功。2.3 多样的教学手段与灵活的考核相结合

为了激发同学们的兴趣，我们对教学手段和考核的方式都进行了不少的尝试。首先，选择的课件均是自己考虑成熟制作的多媒体课件,也有借鉴或直接选用国外已经出版的英语医学教学课件，对其中的优缺点了然于心。其次，利用多样化的教学手段如图片、多媒体、录像等,尽量把生物化学中的抽象概念具体化、直观化、简单化,以帮助学生更好地理解生物化学中的专业知识。再次，充分利用网络技术，尤其是我校自己的局域网,通过FTP或文件共享等方式做到多媒体课件上网,方便学生随时查询,递交作业。另外还开设教学论坛,公开自己的email地址，方便学生提出问题和解决问题；至于考核方式也进行必要的改革，合理的考核模式是教学的指挥棒,所以在教学中应根据双语教学的特点,不再单纯采用传统的试卷考核,而是采用综合多次课业成绩、课堂的口语问答及课终闭卷考试来进行，避免“一卷定终身”。3.生物化学双语教学的存在的问题 3.1 师资水平直接影响了双语教学的推广

教师的外语水平是决定双语教学质量的关键因素。双语教学要求师资水平很高,不仅要懂得专业知识,还要掌握外文。又由于医学专业的特殊性,其专业词汇相对较长较多,记忆难度较大，对于大多数专业课老师来说,生活在汉语环境里,虽然接触外语较多,也有一定的听说读写能力,但思维方式仍然是汉语思维,在教学中很难进行中英文自由转换。目前,大部分老师只不过是采用专业英语名词代替专业中文名词,课堂教学时对外文教材中的内容进行翻译、讲解为主。3.2 学生的外语水平和语言环境也是影响教学效果不可忽视的因素

学生英语基础较差，水平参差不齐。尽管医学院校的大学生学了近十年的英语,掌握了相当量的公共英语和专业英语词汇, 四、六级通过率不断上升，也系统地学习了语法知识,但仍存在听不懂,看得慢现象,更无法用外语直接进行交流、对话。另外性格上总是羞于表达自己，课堂上显得沉闷了些。我们生活在一个几乎完全被汉语包围的语言环境里,学了多年英语,仍然是哑巴英语,这在中国是普遍存在的问题，这很值得深思，更应该引起教育主管部门及学校领导的重视，创造和提供良好的学习外语环境和设备。

3.3 缺乏优秀的双语教学教材,疏于教学信息的管理

双语教学最好使用外文原版的教材,然而,目前国际上通用的教材价格昂贵,一般院校很难承受高额的教材费用。故不同教师使用的教材有的是国外原版教材,有的是节选外文教材,也有的是教师自编的讲义,版本和内容不统一,教学随意性较大。另外,教材难易程度的不同也影响了双语教学的实际效果；而对教学信息缺乏有效整理是很多院校存在的普遍问题。对双语教学的课程实施全面跟踪,以便及时发现和解决双语教学过程中的问题,认真听取学生意见和建议,重视学生信息反馈,完善信息网络，这对于稳步推进双语课程建设是非常重要的一环。然而，遗憾的是很多时候仅仅是草草收场，敷衍了事，满足于完成教学任务。总之,双语教学在我国高校尚处于试验和起步阶段,我们缺乏成熟的双语教学理论和教学经验,需要在教学中不断地摸索和总结。在教学中出现许多问题和不足是难免的,相信不久的将来,双语教学将步入正轨,逐渐形成自己特有的教学模式。

生物化学双语教学的探讨

【摘 要】“双语教学”是21世纪全球教育改革的重要内容之一，在医学院校推行生物化学双语教学具有多方面的现实意义。本文从教师、学生以及教学方法三个方面阐述了医学生物化学双语教学中存在的问题，并就解决办法提出了建议。

“双语教学”是21世纪全球教育改革的重要内容之一。从目前的临床医学和科研工作来看，语言不足已成为国内学者对外交流的障碍，由于专业英语语言能力不足，许多优秀的科研成果得不到国外同行的认可和共享；从教学角度看，国外医学教材如果经过翻译再在教学中使用，会造成学生获取新知识的时间远远落后于知识更新的周期。基于这些问题的存在，实施双语教学可作为解决此矛盾的一条重要途径。

作为新兴的医学本科院校，我院一直致力于加强学校的本科教学工作，提高教学质量，并根据自身发展需求以及新时期对学生能力素质的要求，不断摸索好的教育教学改革方法，其中重要的一项便是实行双语教学。下面就已开设的生物化学双语教学中出现的问题及解决方法进行探讨。

一 双语教学的定义

所谓双语教学，是指以母语和一门外语两种语言作为教学用语的教学模式。各国各地区因母语不同而有所区别，我国双语教学的具体定位是汉语和英语，并在此基础上兼顾其他语种。2002年，教育部高教司在下发的《普通高等学校本科教学水平评估方案（试行）》中，第一次将双语教学的课程定义为采用外文教材并用外语授课的课时占该课程总课时的50%以上。

目前，双语教学的模式主要有以下三种类型：（1）沉浸式双语教学。这种类型的教学模式要求完全用外语进行教学，母语不用于教学中，使学生完全沉浸于弱势语言中。（2）过渡式双语教学。这种类型的教学模式要求在学生刚进入学校时，部分或全部科目使用母语教学，一段时间后，逐步转变为全部科目使用外语教学。其最终目的仍然是向沉浸式的教学模式过渡。（3）保留式双语教学。这种类型要求在学生刚进入学校时使用母语教学，以后逐步部分科目使用外语教学，部分科目仍用母语教学。由于语言环境的限制，目前国内大多数院校仍采取保留式双语教学，我院也不例外。

二 我院生物化学教学推行双语教学的必要性

1．医学事业的不断发展迫切需要双语复合型人才

高等医学教育是国际公认的通用性、可比性较强的专业教育领域，对医学工作者的素质和能力的要求基本一致，因而高等医学教育也存在很多共通之处。面对公众健康问题和越来越严峻的全球疫病防疫形势，人们逐渐意识到跨越国界的国际医疗合作的重要性，对医疗从业人员的知识、能力结构提出了新的要求。医学作为专业性极强的学科，其相关工作是一般外语人才无法替代的，因此，社会迫切需要医学院校培养一大批既懂得专业知识又具有相当外语水平的复合型医学人才。

2．生物化学课程的特点要求在教学过程中使用双语

在世界范围内对医学生物化学进行比较后发现，使用英语进行生物化学的科学研究、生产活动、教学及教材编写等都处于领先地位，这对我国在生物化学领域中的发展有一定的借鉴和指导意义。原版教材的引入也可节省翻译所消耗的时间及减少内容方面的损失，使学生及时地了解到最新的研究进展，跟上时代发展的脚步。

同时，英语国家在医学生物化学领域的学科发展、学术交流及科研方法等方面处于主流地位，可作为生物化学学习、进修及培训的理想国家，这也使得用英语开展生物化学双语教学具有现实意义。

三 双语教学过程中存在的问题及解决方法

1．教师方面

双语教学是提高教学效果、培养高素质人才的有效途径，而保证这一目标实现的基本条件是承担双语教学教师的能力。目前在我国一些医学院校中，能使用英语上课的教师非常少，特别是对于生物化学这样一门复杂难懂的学科，要让任课教师用英语清楚地说明四大营养物质代谢的过程以及调控机制等，确实有很大难度。双语教学对教师的要求非常之高，不仅专业知识要精深，还必须能用熟练、准确的英语来表达专业知识以及分析专业术语和词汇。既使有些老师在课前做了细致的准备，在课堂上能够把课件上的内容流利地讲述出来，但遇到与同学互动的环节，回答学生提问时，由于受到语言的限制，很难用英语应对突发事件。聘请外教，也必须要求懂得汉语，这样才有利于理解学生在学习中可能出现的困难，并及时解决。

我院是一所新兴的本科院校，青年教师所占比例较大，真正能做到双语教学的教师少之又少。为了解决这一问题，学校一方面利用现有师资中听、说、读、写能力较好的教师定期进行英语培训，提高英语水平；另一方面充分利用留学者及国外来访者，多与他们进行交流，了解国际医学领域一些最新的知识和技术，为进行双语教学方面做好充分的准备。

2．学生方面

学生的外语水平也是决定双语教学能否顺利进行的一个重要因素。生物化学双语教学不仅要求教师有良好的英语能力，也要求学生有一定的英语基础，除了公共英语要达到CET-4以上水平外，还应掌握一定量的专业英语词汇。但是由于本院学生的英语水平参差不齐，师生之间的课堂互动不如单语教学，教学效果低于预期，不仅造成教师教学的成就感降低，还使得学生在学习过程中的思维主动性、连贯性、创造性被阻断，影响对本门课程的学习兴趣。因此，学生的接受能力和教师的授课能力同等重要，只有老师和学生都具有一定的英语能力，双语教学才能做得更好。

学生课前预习对提高双语教学课堂效率非常重要。生物化学专业知识本来就晦涩难懂，若要求学生用英语思维，并在短暂的课堂时间内完全理解老师用英语传授的专业知识，难度可想而知。单纯也将传统被动式的教学模式应用于双语教学课堂，势必收获甚微，因此学生必须采取积极主动的态度融入双语教学中去，教师也可在课后提出几个与下节课内容相关的问题，让学生在寻找答案的过程中做好预习准备。

3．教学方法

传统教学中常用的讲授法、演示法、启发式等不能适应双语教学课堂。在教学方法上，我们应着眼于现代化，构建集课堂教学、多媒体教学、网络教学为一体的多维立体教学平台，充分利用计算机辅助教学手段，制作双语CAI课件，使之具有双语性特点，做到关键词、主要内容有英汉对照，并有标准英文发音。此外，还可配上适量图片或小段英文视频、录像、实物演示等，力争使课堂气氛活跃，增强学生的积极性和参与性，从而达到预期的教学目的。
