Book description

Languages in Medicine: Teaching, Testing, Practice brings together research and applied insights on language use and instruction across diverse medical contexts. The volume spans theoretical, empirical, and practice-oriented perspectives, addressing cross-cultural communication in clinical encounters, AI-supported medical English pedagogy, and the design of online language courses for both professionals and older learners. Contributions explore lexical development through innovative approaches, project-based learning, simulation-based communication training, and the use of interpreting classes to strengthen medical English proficiency. The book also examines learner motivation and academic competencies within ESP settings. Practical, workshop-informed chapters offer classroom-tested techniques — from card-based interaction tasks to retrieval practice strategies — demonstrating effective methods for making medical English more accessible and engaging.
