Description
In this presentation, we examine the variability of medical vocabulary in EFL/ESL medical textbooks and its impact on oral English classes. To address this issue, we have developed a specialized corpus of medical English for Specific Purposes (ESP). We will outline our methodology for extracting medical terms, integrating them into the NGSL database, and applying research on word frequency and lexical thresholds to create effective learning materials tailored for medical students.
