AB - This study attempted to compare the effectiveness of the explicitly deductive (ED) and the explicitly inductive (EI) instructions in teaching particular structure that marks causal relations in medical research articles (MRAs) among Chinese medical university undergraduates of elementary and intermediate levels of English proficiency. The effects on short- and long-term learning were also investigated. Research proves that the causal relations are essential for MRAs and the verbs + that-clauses are commonly adopted as the causal markers in published English MRAs. Thus, they were taught as the target knowledge in the present study. A total of 64 medical university undergraduates were recruited and randomly divided into two instructional conditions. Performances in both conditions were measured by immediate and delayed posttests. The Mann-Whitney U test, repeated measured ANOVA and the two-way ANOVA were conducted to analyze the data. Results revealed a statistically significant difference between these two instructional approaches, with the EI instruction having a greater effect on participants’ short-term and long-term learning of the target knowledge. English proficiency had no significant influence. The results shed light on the impact of the deductive and the inductive approaches on English for specific purposes (ESP)/ MRAs writing teaching, and some implications for teaching as well as future studies were provided and discussed.
