SLC is delighted to publish the latest edition of its flagship course, English for Doctors, creating an even better learning experience for our students and those teachers that work with them.
The course has been fully revised, with new inputs, downloads and media. New activities such as interactive recording have been integrated into every unit. This enables learners to record themselves in conversations with patients and then play them back so they and, where appropriate, their teachers can listen and compare with model dialogues.
Each unit now has a full quiz at the end covering a wide range of key language from the different modules within the unit, including communicative interactions, medical terminology and hospital-specific vocabulary. Perfect for progress testing.
Each unit also has self-assessment checklists at the beginning and end for students to reflect on what they have learnt, a downloadable PDF glossary of all the key terms from the unit and links to additional web resources to consolidate and extend learning.
“Writing for such a complex and fast-moving subject as healthcare necessarily involves a commitment to ongoing improvement to reflect what our students are doing outside the classroom. One of the great advantages of publishing online material is that it allows us to add, edit and re-arrange content easily and then re-publish with the click of a button. We’re delighted with the 3rd edition of English for Doctors and trust our many students and their teachers will be too." Virginia Allum, Head of Medical English, SLC
