Este curso está enfocado especialmente para instructores de español, estudiantes del programa de MAT de español y estudiantes avanzados de española a nivel subgraduado.
Spanish for the Medical Professions is not a regular language course. It is the only one—in the Spanish Program—that is not conducted in Spanish and that assumes no previous knowledge of this language. It is also, almost exclusively, focused on conversational skills. Thus, the curriculum you will be working with focuses on developing and improving your oral and written skills in order to communicate effectively with Spanish-speaking patients, co-workers and professionals. The aim of the course is that it will provide you with functional language and cultural information necessary to facilitate effective (or survival) communications in the workplace. To that purpose, you will acquire basic grammar and vocabulary in topics such as, patient history, symptoms, physical conditions, and emergency response. By the end ofthe semester, you will be able to greet patients informally and formally, introduce yourself, ask for basic information, talk about physical conditions, and explain prescriptions. The ultimate outcome expected is simply to provide you with the ability to use “real-life language” on the (your) job.

Course content will also have considerable value for participants who are considering their future roles as in-service teachers who need to know what a sound and cohesive language program looks like and need to know about the accreditation process. This course will also be useful for those who will go on to design and carry out research in Second Language Acquisition, Learning and Pedagogy. Upon completion of this course students in this course will be able to demonstrate a familiarity with the presented terminology of linguistic theory and methods/pedagogy; exhibit knowledge of the linguistic theories and theories of pedagogy and to understand their scope and limitations for application in effective language teaching/learning; and draw on their developing knowledge of linguistics to analyze problems involving the application of the field to language learning and teaching. |
