VIDEO AIDED TEACHING OF ENGLISH FOR MEDICAL PURPOSES IN ROMANIAN HIGHER EDUCATION

Abstract

This article focuses on a teaching method that is still underused in Romania, generally due to lack of facilities and/or training, resulting in an inability on the part of the teacher to cope with the new technologies nowadays used in English language teaching. The present study argues in favour of using video in medical language learning, and to this end it provides some samples of home-grown materials for watching purposes that can be used in the classroom. The various types of exercises presented, combined with the video sequences they are made on, are intended to point out that video aided teaching of English for Medical Purposes (EMP) can be highly motivating, as it uniquely allows students to look at medical situations while working on different areas of language.
