The purpose of this study is to evaluate the English teaching program at
Gü / lhane Military Medical Faculty and suggest a new program based on the Monitor
Model. The study, as an example of a systematic study of a language program and
that of a proposed syllabus, is expected to aid the practice of English Language
Teaching in Turkey.
The data sources were 230 students, 25 doctors and 7 teachers. The data
analysis showed that students do not like the contents of the course books. Students
reported speaking and reading as priority skills. To understand and translate
medical material, to get an overseas assignment, to talk to foreigners and to follow
lectures were the common language-related goals. Students& / #8217 / , institution& / #8217 / s and doctors& / #8217 / needs and goals and available resources
were surveyed and a new second language teaching program was suggested for
Phase 1. A general curriculum model and a program design model were also
suggested together with the syllabuses for Phase 1.
In the suggested program, grammar, writing and other conscious learning
activities are separated from comprehension or (subconscious) acquisition-based
activities. The suggested design has three topic-based syllabuses organized in
modular format for three levels: Advanced, intermediate and elementary. For the
majority advanced level classes new materials need to be developed and for
elementary and intermediate levels new course books are suggested.
A sample module was prepared, piloted and the results are discussed. The
piloted module was found better than the previous form of the lessons both by the
students and the teachers.
