Abstract

With the improvement of Chinese medical level and higher education level, more and more international students choose to study medicine in China. Foreign students learning medical Chinese in different countries will be affected by their mother tongue. This phenomenon of negative transfer of mother tongue has brought great trouble to medical Chinese teaching. This paper studies the negative transfer of mother tongue in medical Chinese learning by analyzing the learning content of medical Chinese and the differences between foreign students' mother tongue and medical Chinese. In order to more intuitively understand the impact of negative transfer of mother tongue on learning medicine in China, and to help foreign students learn medicine more effectively in China, two types of foreign students were selected as the main research object in Medical University, and one class was taken as the experimental group. In the process of medical Chinese teaching, according to the differences between their mother tongue and medical Chinese, the other class as the control group for routine medical Chinese teaching. After a semester of Chinese language test results showed that the medical group had higher scores.
