Course Contents

The module involves the teaching of advanced nursing and medical terminology along with discussion of health, nursing & medical related topics and authentic dialogues.

Educational Goals

The aim of the module is to enable students to develop their scientific language skills in English in order to meet their communicative and academic needs in a nursing work environment. Terminology is not isolated from its linguistic or extra-linguistic environment and is always presented as embedded in it. The examination of grammatical and syntactic phenomena is not carried out in isolation but always in relation to texts of specialized terminology.

Upon successful completion of the theoretical module, students will be able to understand the foreign-language literature in their field of expertise, identify a specialized scientific and technological text and acquire a general idea of the content, despite the existence of unfamiliar vocabulary and terminology.

They will also have the skills to translate into a foreign language written and/or spoken information obtained through written and/or spoken language (articles, interviews, debates, conferences, seminars, etc.), to deduce the main idea of the subject of a scientific or literary text, while summarizing its content. In addition, they will be able to express written and/or oral opinions on a topic in their area of expertise based on the information provided.
