Program Customization for Practical Learning: An Example
A medical professional works with a DVD that highlights medical English as it is actually spoken in North America, and then
goes on to make use of some of the newly acquired expressions and vocabulary in an oral presentation. Assignments are
given to improve written communication skills, including specific exercises in writing medical reports, notes and emails. Articles
from medical journals are studied to expand vocabulary and increase critical reading skills. A review and discussion with the
instructor follow all evening activities.
