SLC is delighted to announce the launch of a new online grammar course for healthcare students and professionals.
30 units of content
Essential Grammar for Healthcare has 30 units and covers a wide range of verb forms, tenses and grammar functions. The course is set at an A2 and B1 level, so elementary and lower-intermediate.
Students learn how to talk about the present, past and future; use conditionals and passives; use articles, adverbs, adjectives and prepositions; ask for advice, make requests, give instructions and make suggestions; describe possibility, ability and necessity; and much more.
A practical healthcare focus throughout
The course is set in a healthcare context throughout. It shows clearly how grammar is used in practical healthcare situations when talking to patients and professionals.
The language is presented through a variety of topics, from common diseases and treatments, to technology in healthcare, to mental health, to Covid-19.
Up-to-the-minute learning and teaching platform
Students take the course on a cutting-edge learning platform. Content includes videos, interactive recording tasks, over 30 downloadable PDFs and many different types of practice activities.
And if a school or university wants to use the course with their students, they can track progress, set homework and see learner submissions on a specially-branded teaching platform.
The course is online so can be taken wherever a student has a connection.
