Breaking Barriers: Nursing Students Shine at Provincial English Speaking Competition
On April 12, the 2025 Jiangsu Vocational College Skills Competition—English Speaking Event (Higher Vocational Education and Sports Track)—concluded at Jiangsu Maritime Institute. Competing against 246 students from 82 institutions, our non-English major team—Wang Xinyan (International Nursing class, grade 23 International ), Xia Xinjie (Nursing Class 2, grade 24), and Zhang Qionghua (International Nursing class, grade 24 )—claimed third place, topping all health-science institutions, fully demonstrating the outstanding capabilities of our college's students.
This competition requires each team of three contestants to collaborate, fully assessing English application skills and professional qualities through three main segments: thematic speeches, workplace short plays, and judges' Q&A. In the face of strong challenges from contestants majoring in English, our three nursing students confidently responded with solid language skills and flexible on-the-spot adaptability. In the speech part, they conveyed the responsibility of youth with fluent expression; in the workplace short play segment, they creatively interpreted the theme of “Traditional Chinese medicine rehabilitation skills going abroad”, telling the story of China's health and wellness in English, earning high praise from the judges. As non-English major students, they have proven with their strength: language ability is not limited by major, effort and collaboration are the key to success.
The achievement reflects interdisciplinary collaboration. The Foreign Language Teaching and Research Office fully utilizes team strength, meticulously plans and prepares scientifically for the competition. In the creation of the workplace short play, they deeply integrated with the rehabilitation program of the School of Clinical Medicine, cleverly combining traditional Chinese rehabilitation skills with the demands of international communication, endowing the workplace short play with unique cultural connotations. The speech part received strong support from the School of Marxism, ensuring that the content is both thought-provoking and compelling. Participating students admitted: “The preparation process was full of challenges, but the teachers' professional guidance and the integration of interdisciplinary resources greatly boosted our confidence.”
This award is a vivid practice of our school's deepening of the “English+” interdisciplinary talent training model, and it is also a successful example of cross-department collaboration. Under the condition of having no English majors, our school breaks down disciplinary barriers with innovative thinking, unites with team spirit to gather momentum, and ultimately shines on the provincial competition stage. Moving forward, The Foreign Language Teaching and Research Office of the Department of General Education will deepen educational reforms and cross-disciplinary synergy to cultivate globally competent talents, reinforcing our commitment to nurturing skilled professionals with international vision.
