Learning outcomes
The present course aims at providing students of medicine and surgery with the necessary specific linguistic competences and structures to comprehend and produce written and spoken medical-scientific texts. For this reason, special attention will be paid to the lexical, syntactic and pragmatic aspects of the English language in the medical and academic fields.
Program
The course (36 hours total) will concentrate on the reading, analysis and comprehension of medical and academic texts as well as on conversational situations that take place in English between patients and physicians. Each face-to-face lesson will focus on a specific topic while considering peculiar aspects of English and American medical organizations. Written and oral phraseology of medical and academic contexts will also be taken into consideration. The lessons will consist in explanations concerning the main topic and in practical exercises and detailed analyses to consolidate the content of the lesson. Each weekly lesson will be integrated by online activities (video lessons, videos for listening comprehension, forums, material to be commented) in English on the course’s moodle platform in order to apply and reflect on acquired knowledge. Such activities are part of the course and programme and must be completed in order to access all the material on the platform and prepare for the exam.
