Inglese medico

Spesso si sottovaluta la necessità di "imparare a scrivere" in inglese, confidando nel fatto che lo si comprende chiaramente e lo si parla bene. L'inglese scientifico, infatti, è facilmente comprensibile da parte di persone con una padronanza della materia. Tuttavia, produrre un testo in forma scritta in un buon inglese scientifico, se non si considerano le peculiarità di questa varietà linguistica, è cosa ben diversa, anche per i parlanti nativi. L'inglese della scienza e della medicina, non è solamente una serie di vocaboli tecnici e specialistici da inserire al momento opportuno ma, nella sua forma scritta, ha regole precise che lo rendono differente sia dalla lingua colloquiale che da quella letteraria.

English for Medicine: A toolkit for discourse and genre-based approaches to ESP language (2021) is the revised edition of the earlier textbook English for Medicine: A discourse- and genre-based approach to specialised communication (2020). It is a far-from-ordinary, descriptive resource book for student’s use that brings together a toolkit of theory- and research-informed issues in the vast area of discourse and genre analysis relevant to English for Medical Purposes and guides readers in gradually putting theory into practice. This new edition explains how key topics of medicine and healthcare operate in clear, concise language and visual format and is complemented by Worksheets in which students find a variety of language and task-based exercises in a traditional form and genre-based approach to Medical English. As a perfect companion for students with intermediate (B) and above-level (C) English competency and skills, this source reference aims to non-native under/postgraduate students of Medicine and Nursing as well as medical and healthcare professionals who wish to study topic areas through the medium of English.
