Course Description	This course is designed to cultivate students' ability to engage in professional communication and oral presentations in English within clinical contexts. Employing practice-oriented materials and theme-based instruction, the course covers common nursing topics such as inpatient assessment, condition reporting, medication education, discharge planning, and family communication. It also introduces internationally recognized frameworks for clinical communication and nursing reporting, such as SBAR and case presentation structures. Through scenario-based simulations and English-speaking exercises, students will select clinically relevant cases to conduct situation simulations, key point summarizations, and oral presentations. They will gain hands-on experience in presentation design and professional English expression. Course assessment includes a midterm SBAR presentation task and a final individual English case presentation, aimed at enhancing practical communication skills applicable to clinical practice, academic settings, and international medical exchange. Teaching strategies include group discussions, demonstrations with hands-on practice, and peer feedback. These methods are designed to guide students in integrating clinical expertise with language skills, fostering familiarity with clinical English and building confidence in delivering professional English communication.
