This English course is taught in the second year of the BA Physiotherapy programme. The course is a continuation of the Professional English I course (C1FY016). The course is taught in the form of seminars focusing on professional language, incl. general and specialized medical terminology and taking a medical history from an English-speaking patient. Seminars will also be oriented towards student presentations (medical topics + constructive criticism). The course is also aimed at improving student competencies in foreign language spoken production.

Last update: Mgr. Bc. Vlastislav Ryšavý (15.09.2023)

The primary goal of the course is to teach students to take a complete medical history of an English-speaking patient and to expand their knowledge of professional and lay medical terminology.

On the basis of specialized medical histories (relevant to the field of physiotherapy), the course will also contribute to the improvement of students' general linguistic competence, especially in the areas of grammar and syntax.

Skills and expected outcomes:

1) being able to take a medical history from an English-speaking patient;
2) improvement of basic foreign language competences;
3) enhanced communication skills;
4) enhanced rhetorical skills.
