- Brief description
The module English B1 (Language for Specific Purposes - Nursing) leads to the further development of competences at level B1 of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages.
The module includes professional language training and prepares students for study and internship abroad. The subject-specific language training also serves the independent processing of nursing scientific literature.
The emphasis is also placed on better communication in the foreign language in various areas of health care and nursing.
The module focuses on improving participants' ability to communicate effectively in a variety of contexts by practicing and refining key speaking, reading, writing, and listening skills.
The module is divided into two components. In Part 1, students focus on improving general and business English skills. They practice the language skills essential for writing business correspondence, as well as for discussing ideas and arguments, leading and participating in meetings.
In Part 2, the focus is on subject-specific English (English for Nursing). Here students focus on improving their presentation skills in a professional context and learn professional vocabulary.
