Learning outcomes
|
The goal is to practice the skill of reading and understanding English text, sorting information and working with it, acquiring learning strategies for self-study and further use of the language in everyday situations and in professional practice. The subject is aimed at balancing heterogeneous entry skills of students and creating additional prerequisites for the further development of general and professional communication. It focuses primarily on the practice and development of language resources (with an emphasis on grammar and vocabulary) and speaking skills (with an emphasis on oral expression and reading comprehension). Consolidation and deepening of grammatical and lexical resources will take place, among other things, in the form of substitution, transformation or translation exercises from a selected English language textbook, with the support of an e-learning environment. For the development of professional communication in general, work with professional texts and authentic audio-visual activities will serve. The aim of the subject is to equip students with competences in the field of professional language at level B2 of the Common European Reference Framework (CEFR).
Students acquire basic English medical terminology in the given topics. Students will understand professional English medical and non-medical texts.
