Class Description:
THIS COURSE IS EQUIVALENT TO SPAN 1004*******Course designed to help health care professionals and/or students pursuing health care field communicate with patients who speak Spanish. Basic Medical vocabulary, questions and answers in common medical situations, vocabulary and phrases to conduct patient interviews and medical history, vocabulary and conversation to conduct physical exams; understanding the Latin American view of health and health care. In terms of the grammatical aspects, the course covers same areas as Spanish 1004; therefore, students planning on taking Spanish 3015 will be prepared to do so. Besides in class activities, and for a better understanding of cultural aspects, students will perform individual work on WebCT and CD-ROM which concentrate on watching and listening, reading and writing about interviews of health care providers who work with Spanish speaking community, and interactions in the target language between doctors and patients. * Evaluation standards: Students will be evaluated on class participation, discussion of course content, exploration of cultural component, therefore class attendance is critical. Evaluation of communicative speaking, writing, listening and reading is done through exams, composition writing and presentation. Application of Learning Technologies: each week online discussion of questions based on readings. The discussion requires thought about how a theme is related to aspects of interaction with the Chicano/Latino population.
