	Mister Micawber  +  48777 Sun, 03 Oct 04 02:46 PM Medical English has a large vocabulary seldom used in general English, and not all of which is available in a general dictionary. I will move your post over to that forum, where you may ask further questions.

	Mister Micawber  +  76252 Thu, 24 Feb 05 10:18 AM Teach them as you would teach any other adult ESL/EFL students, Sunjee. They will be able to supply the specialized vocabulary themselves, I think, from their medical textbooks. Mister Micawber Vocabulary

	aeon  +  76690 Sat, 26 Feb 05 03:59 AM The grammar is the same, although the passive voice is more frequently (perhaps too much so) in technical writing. Find some copies of medical journals and read the articles to get a feel for the tone, even if you don't understand the specialist vocabulary employed. As Mister Micawber said, your students should be able to supply the vocabulary and understand the meanings. You may, however, have a better feel for the correct intonation and stress of the words than your students. aeon Joined on Sat, Feb 26 2005 Beijing, PR China New Member 06 Native English speaker.

	etchasketch  +  76716 Sat, 26 Feb 05 06:50 AM As a student of Biology I can't give any advice regarding teaching of english, medical or otherwise. However, what aeon suggested seems like a good idea to me. Whenever I need to familiarise myself with a topic I havn't yet covered, the 'Review' articles in journals have helped me. In that they tend to introduce the most prevalent technical terms of a topic in context, whilst also giving a robust definition at the point the term is first used. The problem is; journals are great if you have access to them, but unless you're a member of a university library you usually have to pay for subscription. etchasketch Joined on Sat, Feb 26 2005 New Member 06 Articles, Universities
