Lernziele This course is designed to prepare students for courses relating to the health sciences, at the Bachelor level. While many students have a basic knowledge of the English language, they may not feel confident reading articles, writing texts, and expressing themselves in English. This course aims to support students in developing the skills and confidence to participate in the English courses offered by the Department of Health Sciences and Medicine. These skills and competences are also valuable assets for study and work abroad or in international organisations.
Students will:
- Learn vocabulary and phrases specific to the health sciences
- Receive coaching in reading and understanding academic and scientific texts
- Learn skills for preparing, rehearsing and giving oral presentations
- Develop strategies to build confidence in expressing themselves in written and spoken English
This course is intended to support, encourage and motivate students. The aim is not to speak and write perfect English, but to gain the confidence to communicate comfortably in a foreign language.
