Today, the ability of English communication plays an increasingly important role in our daily life. To pursue the international nursing theories and good experiences, and communicate with the counterparts in other countries, we have developed an English training course in our department since last year. All of the faculty, administrators and students took part in the training course. The contents mainly include oral and listening English. It took 3 hours a week for the training. Meanwhile, we were asked to do oral exercise everyday. We invited the English tutor from Xi’an International Studies University. According to English level, the participants were divided into 2 groups, class 1 and 2. In class 1, the daily English communication was arranged. In class 2, except for the same training content with the class 1, professional English was trained by reading and discussing some nursing professional papers from international professional journals in English. And for the students, we organized English corner to improve their speaking and listening English. Through 5-month training, everyone’s oral and listening English has made progress in different degrees.
