Abstract:
Microbes are involved in every aspect of human life. Microbiology is a mandatory subject at the undergraduate level covering majors including life sciences, pharmacy, medicine, agriculture, forestry and food. Along with internationalization and development of the first-class disciplines, teaching microbiology courses in English is highly valued. Here we discuss how to conduct curriculum reform of microbiology teaching in English, and what are the advantages and challenges when teaching in English. The teaching system can be advanced by enhancing interdisciplinary communication so as to promote study and research for students and teachers. We take this practical exploration as an example to communicate with relevant teachers.
