Abstract:

This book addresses recent developments in medical and language
education. In both fields, there have been methodological shifts
towards 'task-based' and 'problem-based learning'. In addition, both
fields have broadened their focus on clinical expertise and linguistic
skills to address issues of cultural competence. "English in Medical
Education" responds to these changes by re-imagining the language
classroom in medical settings as an arena for the exploration of
values and professional identity. The chapters cover topics such as
the nature of cultural competence; how to understand spoken discourse
in a range of medical settings; the use of tasks and problems in
language education for medics; the development of critical skills and
the use of literature and visual media in language education for
doctors. It will interest everyone teaching English for Medical
Purposes.

Linguistic Field(s): Applied Linguistics

Written In: English (eng)
