LINGUA INGLESE

Il Corso di Lingua inglese è finalizzato a fornire agli studenti le competenze linguistiche necessarie di cui hanno bisogno per far fronte ai requisiti linguistici della loro specializzazione e di utilizzare l'inglese correttamente e in modo fluente nell’ambiente professionale. In maniera specifica, questo corso mira a sviluppare le quattro abilità, tenendo conto della struttura morfo-sintattica e linguistico- espressive, con particolare attenzione all'acquisizione del lessico (terminologia specifica relativa ad apparecchiature e strumenti di lavoro) e alle abilità comunicative (approccio col paziente).
