Learning unit contents
The MedEng 2 course continues the development of reading skills, data gathering, and note-taking using texts or series of texts (as started during the MedEng 1 course), and focuses also on research capacities and oral understanding of scientific material in English.
Learning outcomes of the learning unit
- allow students to read and understand medical literature in English.
- allow students to understand short videos in English.
- allow students to extend their mastery of field-specific terminology in English.
Prerequisite knowledge and skills
MedEng 1 (Medical English -1st part - LANG2940-1) or equivalent (e.g. IELTS 5.5-6 or Cambridge Advanced English A- C).
Planned learning activities and teaching methods
The course features two-hour in-class sessions where the students' active participation is required (through discussions and listening and reading comprehension activities) alternating with mandatory online modules (enhancing academic vocabulary, reading and listening skills).
Mode of delivery (face to face, distance learning, hybrid learning)
The course is taught in groups (based on students' grades for LANG2940-1) after an introductory lecture given in amphitheater. Class attendance is highly recommended. The online learning modules are prepared at home by students between classes and must be completed before attending the next class.
