Hope there's someone out there who could help!   Cheers Pam pamn65350 Joined on Mon, May 11 2009 New Member 02 Medical English, Vocabulary, Countries, United Kingdom, Great Britain, Languages, Teaching

	pamn65350  +  734726 Sun, 17 May 09 09:11 PM Hi Lino, I am not a qualified medical professional,  just a qualified English Teacher! Most of my lessons I have found on the internet and I am quite happy to share these resources with you!   My lesson on orthopedics was very practical in the end. I revised bones and muscles vocabulary and then asked my students to demonstrate with real braces and splints how they would  fit and advise these products. I dealt with the ankle, wrist, knee and lumbar area. They liked using real products and enjoyed the lesson! Next lesson I will be teaching phytotherapy ( herbal medecine) and will include lots of lexis and also describing symptoms and different illnesses.   Hope to hear from you soon   Regards   Pam pamn65350 Medical English, Regards, Vocabulary, Countries, United Kingdom, Great Britain, Languages, Online, Students, Teaching
