Learning objectives
The present course aims at providing students of medicine and surgery with the necessary specific linguistic competences and structures to comprehend and produce written and spoken medical-scientific texts. For this reason, special attention will be paid to the lexical, syntactic and pragmatic aspects of the English language in the medical and academic fields.
Prerequisites and basic notions
Before starting this course students should have acquired a fairly good competence in English level B1 (Common European Framework of Reference for Languages). We strongly suggest further practice of basic skills for those who do not have this prerequisite.
Program
The course plans to develop the students' competences on reading, analysis and comprehension of medical and academic texts as well as on conversational situations that take place in English between patients and physicians.
Specifically, the focus is on the following topics:
Medical language throughout history (Historical overview, Greek-Latin terminological core, National medical languages, English influence on Italian medical language, Medical English today)
Linguistic features of English for medical purposes (Lexical features, Metaphors, Syntactic features)
Patient and the language of medicine (Doctor-patient interactions, Health literacy, health communication and intercultural communication in healthcare)
Focus on the body systems (from anatomical, physiological and pathological perspectives)
The language of research (Understanding qualitative and quantitative Research)
Patient information leaflets (Diachronic overview of PILs, Normative aspects, the language of PILs today)
Focus group work and discussion -> This is a group activity + presentation which will allow students to gain up to 3 points to add to the final exam grade.
The lessons will consist in explanations concerning the main topic and in practical exercises and detailed analyses to consolidate the content of the lesson. Each lesson will be integrated by online activities (video lessons, videos for listening comprehension, forums, material to be commented) in English on the course’s moodle platform in order to apply and reflect on acquired knowledge. Such activities are part of the course and programme and must be completed in order to access all the material on the platform and prepare for the exam.
Bibliography
Didactic methods
Lectures and e-learning lessons, instructional videos to support the study of the monographic material and the student’s study of academic vocabulary. Lectures provide students with the necessary tools to analyse and discuss oral and written texts concerning the main areas of English for medical purposes and academic English, as well as ones that are fundamentals for the mastery of linguistic-communicative and pragmatic-linguistic skills that are required to understand and produce texts in English at a B2 level.
Learning assessment procedures
The final exam will consist in a written exam containing both theoretical, comprehension questions and practical exercises based on the content of the lessons and video lessons presented during the course and on the exercises completed in class and on the online platform. The final grade will be expressed in thirtieths.
Evaluation criteria
The exam consists of the following sections:
Listening Comprehension 8 points
Reading comprehension 7 points
Use of Medical English 10 points
Medical writing 6 points.
The Listening and Use of Medical English sections include completions or multiple choice questions. The medical writing part verifies the skills of critical writing regarding the topics covered during the monographic part of the course.
Criteria for the composition of the final grade
For each correct answer 1 point is awarded. For each question not answered, or answered incorrectly, no points will be awarded. Students who reach 31 points will be awarded honors.

Coloro i quali hanno concluso/concluderanno il tirocinio pratico-valutativo pre-lauream con giudizio di idoneità (ai sensi del DM 58/2018), conseguita la laurea, sono abilitati all’esercizio della professione di medico-chirurgo e possono procedere all’iscrizione presso l’Ordine dei Medici.
Rilascio del titolo di abilitazione
Ai fini del rilascio dell’abilitazione professionale è richiesto il pagamento delle seguenti tasse:
- tassa erariale pari a € 49,90 da versarsi prima che inizi la frequenza del tirocinio pratico valutativo
- tassa regionale di abilitazione da versarsi all’atto della consegna del titolo di abilitazione.
Studenti iscritti alla classe 46/S (Classe delle lauree specialistiche in medicina e chirurgia) e ordinamenti previgenti (attualmente fuori corso) oppure studenti iscritti alla classe LM/41 con coorti antecedenti alla coorte 2014 (attualmente fuori corso).
Il MUR, con nota prot. n. 8610 del 25/3/2020 avente oggetto: “Abilitazione all’esercizio della professione di Medico-Chirurgo - art. 102 - Decreto legge 17 marzo 2020 n. 18” dispone che, gli iscritti agli ordinamenti previgenti, con tirocinio pratico previsto post – laurea (ai sensi del DM 445/2001), ferme restando le norme sulla decadenza dagli studi, possono concludere il percorso di studio senza dovere necessariamente acquisire, ai fini dell’ammissione all’esame finale di laurea, il giudizio di idoneità del suddetto tirocinio pratico valutativo.
