PART B: THEORY & PRACTICE

Study the following data and then answer the following questions.

Target Group Semester Credit

: Students of Faculty of Medicine :I :2

Number of Students : 80 Course Objective in Curriculum: At the end of the course, students are expected to be able to read English textbooks on medical science (Upper-Intermediate to Advance Level/4000-5000 words) Results of Pre-Test: 4.7% Basic; 23.6% Elementary, 29.2 Pre-Intermediate; 35.8% Intermediate, 6.6% Upper Intermediate Data from Questionnaire:: Improving Speaking (31.8%), Improving Reading (26.0%), Doing translation (14.4%), Preparing for Jobs (11.5%),

4. What are the necessities, lacks and wants in the data provided above? 5. Do the necessities mentioned in the curriculum have strong position in our education context? 6. Can you achieve the target need mentioned in the curriculum? (Consider from students level, number of credit, number of students, etc.) 7. In your opinion, what are the ideal objectives of learning English for students of Faculty of Medicine? 8. How would you design the course based on the data given? What bases would you use to design the course? (necessities, lacks, wants or other considerations) 9. Since they are still in the first semester they dont have any background knowledge on their own field will you introduce them with the specific vocabulary in the area they study?

IN GENERAL, WHAT ARE THE PROBLEMS IN DESIGNING THE COURSE USING THE DATA PROVIDED????
