Description

Purpose: Based on the history of pharmaceutical sciences, the authors developed English writing learning materials for undergraduate students and examined the usefulness of these materials. Method: Two different types of learning materials were prepared by extracting and reorganizing the sentences from a book on the history of pharmaceutical sciences, Molecules That Changed the World, written by K. C. Nicolaou and T. Montagnon. Results: These materials were successfully used to illustrate and practice English writing techniques. The questionnaire survey completed following use of the materials clearly showed that students had an interest in the history of pharmaceutical sciences and learned English writing techniques effectively. Conclusion: The history of pharmaceutical sciences, such as antibiotics and vitamins, can attract the interest of a wide range of students and can be effectively used as learning materials for examples and exercises of English writing techniques.
