摘要：While the COVID-19 pandemic continues to make a profound impact on all aspects of life around the world, from the perspective of medical education it is also an opportunity not only a threat, and can be integrated into the medical curriculum, including English for Medical Purposes classes. The aim of this paper is to share our experience regarding the integration of a research study on the willingness of young people to get the COVID-19 vaccine into an English for Medical Purposes class. Student interviews, presentations, Think-Pair-Share activities and disputes in class are special pedagogical and methodological tools that assist the teaching and the learning process. As a result, students are inspired and engaged, which facilitate the development of not only their 4+1 language skills, and medical English proficiency, but alsotheircollaboration, communication, andproblem-solving skills, as well as their creativityand critical-thinking. This paper seeks to inform and inspire English for Medical Purposesteachers to incorporate meaningful and intellectually stimulating research studies into their classes that allow students to not only learn medical English, butmore importantly, to understand complex perspectives, use numerousforms of media, and collaborate with others. Therefore, the authors suggest that teachers of English for Medical Purposescreate room in their classes for up-to-date research representation in order to engage and motivate students’ learning process. Furthermore, the authors believe that the latest research studies, presentations, Think-Pair-Share activities and disputes can be implemented in any content and language integrated classes, as well as languages for specific purposes classes, thus providing educators with effective tools to achieve broad educational goals.
