Abstract

The present  paper is an attempt to study the materials of English Course in use at the  Faculty of Pharmacy  -Aden University and reveal whether they match the  learners' needs  either academically or professionally (i.e. in-study or post-study). Further, it attempts to elicit the harmonic elements between objectives of the prescribed curriculum and contents of the teaching materials. The results of this study have shown that the current materials  only cover a segment of the students’ needs, while the other pre-requisites are neglected to a great extent. A long these lines, a proposed schemata for a practical English Course is provided to approach the adequate requirements of such students. It comprises three visions: Part one  contains sixteen units of medical and semi-medical topics, in more ways, it is an introductory part . Generally,  it is designed to help the learners gain a good background about medicine and healthy sciences in order to establish a foundation in regards to interdisciplinary field. Part two ( English Course for Pharmacy ) involves twelve units  shed light on registered English i.e. pure pharmaceutical English. This kind is presented to match the academic requirements. Part three ( A Course of Grammar in Medical Context) consists of ten sections focusing on the grammatical structures which are used more commonly in medical setting.
