Abstract

The global dissemination of Chinese medicine culture is inevitably confronted with the challenge of overcoming language barriers. As the cradle for nurturing Chinese medicine talents, higher Chinese medicine colleges bear a significant responsibility to adapt to contemporary demands and seize digital opportunities to innovate English teaching models. This paper proposes an approach to exploring teaching reform and conducts a teaching experiment using freshman students at Chongqing University of Chinese Medicine as research subjects. Through English proficiency tests, questionnaire surveys, and interviews, the effectiveness of the teaching method is evaluated. The results indicate that college English teaching in Chinese medicine colleges enhanced by digital capabilities has a significant impact; however, the outcomes among students in the experimental group are markedly differentiated. The paper further suggests strategies for optimizing the college English teaching pathway in digitally enabled Chinese medicine colleges to support the cultivation of Chinese medicine composite talents.
