О курсе English for Doctors, уровень Upper-Intermediate
Если вы врач или медицинский эксперт и ищете качественный курс английского языка или уроки английского онлайн, ориентированные на вашу профессию, программа «English for Doctors» создана специально для вас. Курс разработан для специалистов с уровнем Upper-Intermediate (B2), стремящихся уверенно и грамотно общаться в клинической среде, участвовать в международных конференциях, обсуждать сложные диагнозы и взаимодействовать с руководством медицинских учреждений.
Материал разделен на 60 уроков, объединенных в 10 тематических модулей: 1. Clinical leadership; 2. Complex cases; 3. Critical care; 4. Ethics and the law; 5. Research and evidence; 6. Public health; 7. Hospital management; 8. Teaching and careers; 9. Writing and communication; 10. The frontiers of medicine. Вы разберете такие темы и ситуации, как дежурства в реанимации (The long shift in intensive care), хронология сепсиса (The sepsis timeline), вопросы дееспособности и информированного согласия (Capacity and consent), проектирование клинических испытаний (Designing a clinical trial), скрининг и медицинская эпидемиология в новостях.
Грамматический блок курса охватывает сложные конструкции, необходимые для уверенного владения академическим и профессиональным английским. Вы изучите будущее в прошедшем (was going to, would, was supposed to), модальные глаголы прошедшего времени для критики и необходимости (needn't have vs didn't need to, could have), средства смягчения категоричности и дистанцирования (hedging и distancing), отрицательную инверсию для эмфазы (Never have we…, Not only…), причастные обороты, пассивные конструкции и условные предложения инверсионного типа. Программа также затрагивает номинализацию, сложные прилагательные и существительные, средства когезии и дипломатичные формулировки.
Каждый урок содержит от 20 до 30 новых слов (всего 1448 терминов), при этом ранее пройденная лексика регулярно повторяется для надежного закрепления. Учиться удобно: интерактивные упражнения на каждой странице, аудиозаписи для аудирования, тексты для чтения, встроенный словарь с переводами на румынский и русский языки, а также ваш личный список слов. Платформа отлично работает на смартфонах и любых мобильных устройствах.
После завершения этого уровня вы сможете уверенно составлять клинические заметки, аргументированно обсуждать сложные случаи из практики, презентовать результаты медицинских исследований и вести деловую коммуникацию на высоком уровне. Вы сможете читать профильную литературу без постоянного использования словаря и звучать естественно в любой профессиональной дискуссии.
Вы можете начать обучение совершенно бесплатно: первые 10 уроков доступны абсолютно всем без создания аккаунта, а уроки с 11 по 20 открываются бесплатно после простой регистрации по имени и email. Полный курс, включающий все 60 уроков для самостоятельного изучения на всю жизнь, стоит всего 210 леев (единоразовый платеж с гарантией возврата денег в течение 14 дней).
