Abstract
Objectives This study investigates medical conversations in Chinese between doctors and patients in medical Chinese textbooks compiled in Korea from the conversation analytic perspective. Methods This study incorporates a conversation-analytic approach into the design of medical Chinese textbooks. Results The results indicate that medical Chinese textbooks do not properly present information on the conversation structures, rules, and characteristics essential to construct interactive conversations. Conclusions This study suggests that exposing learners to actual conversations is the most effective way to draw attention to the detail in real-life talk-in-interactions. By using authentic spoken language, learners can learn and practice interactional details, including turn-taking, sequences, linguistic features etc. Furthermore, it is important to apply conversation analytic research findings to enable learners to systematically understand, analyze, and communicate fluently in real medical conversations.
