Synopsis

English for Medical Communication: A Guide to Course Design is a practical guide to the design of health communication courses in English for Academic/Specific Purposes (EAP/ESP). Written by an experienced team of EAP/ESP practitioners teaching communication courses to medical students, the chapters cover ten key areas in medical communication, such as reporting patient history, writing a medico-legal report, discussing ethical cases, writing a Wikipedia article in medicine, and presenting community project findings in a research report.

The book covers medical communication among healthcare professionals with laypersons and researchers. Each chapter introduces course design principles, teaching approaches and techniques, course materials with effective classroom tasks, and students’ sample assignments. Each chapter also provides resources to support teachers in designing courses in a wider international context.

Including up-to-date literature on key concepts and core understandings and best practices in medical communication, this accessible volume is an essential guide for language teachers of EAP/ESP programs designing courses for medical students at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels worldwide.
