Abstract

Medical English is the main language for international communication in the field of medicine, and it plays an important role in international medical education. However, in current medical English education, there is a lack of learning resources in medical English, with complex sources and uneven quality. This paper addresses the aforementioned difficulties to design and implement a medical English corpus APP. The APP aggregates high-quality medical English corpora and enhances learning for corpora. It integrates corpus learning into practice through corpus word-filling and graphical word-filling, thereby enhancing medical students' enthusiasm for learning medical English and promoting the progress and development of medical English teaching.
