Předmět Odborná angličtina a čeština v kontextu kazuistické výuky / Applied Medical English and Czech in a Case-Based Learning
Approach si klade za cíl rozvíjet komunikativní dovednosti studentů v lékařské angličtině. Využívá inovativního přístupu, tj. metody problémového učení. Studenti analyzují ve skupinové diskusi vybrané klinické případy (případové studie) a vypracovávají diferenční diagnózu, prezentují a obhajují své výsledky. Studentům napomáhá supervize vyučujících, lékaře - specialisty a lektora cizího jazyka. Jazykem komunikace je angličtina, kazuistická data jsou prezentována v angličtině i češtině. Metoda výuky integruje učení se obsahu / předmětu i cizímu jazyku. Jsou vyžadovány pokročilejší znalosti z klinických oborů.

Teaching methods
Last update: PhDr. Šárka Blažková Sršňová, Ph.D. (20.05.2019)
This course is designed to help students learn and utilise two of the main skills which every doctor needs: diagnostics and discussion. In small groups students will be given a case study and, using literature and the internet, they will diagnose the patient and suggest treatment. Then they will present their ideas to the other groups and doctor and defend their reasoning. Students should be aware that this is a test of logic and communication so concrete ideas are required backed up by rationale. The course leaders are a doctor and a linguistic so students will receive feedback of their medical thinking and their presentation skills.
Patients´ data (past medical history etc.) will be given in Czech which is a good opportunity to practice medical Czech. Nevertheless, English is the language of class communication and discussion.
