Science English forms the foundation of research, education, and clinical practice in the pharmaceutical and medical sciences. It enables effective scientific communication, international collaboration, and evidence-based healthcare. In today's global scientific community, researchers and healthcare professionals require not only English proficiency but also strong scientific writing, presentation, critical thinking, and patient communication skills.
Our research integrates English language education, applied linguistics, and pharmaceutical education to develop evidence-based approaches to Science English instruction. Current projects include the development of medical English teaching materials, CLIL-based educational programs, scientific writing instruction, English presentation training, and communication strategies for healthcare professionals and patient counseling.
We also investigate the effects of English language learning on cognitive function, learner motivation, well-being, and lifelong learning, with the goal of enhancing pharmacy education and preparing globally competent healthcare professionals.
