English for Physiotherapy: a Coursebook for Spanish Students (ebook)

Argumento de English for Physiotherapy: a Coursebook for Spanish Students (ebook)

Gran parte de la formación del futuro profesional de la Fisioterapia reside en la actualización de conocimientos especializados mediante la lectura de los últimos trabajos publicados sobre la materia. Generalmente, muchos de estos trabajos están publicados en inglés, de ahí la necesidad de tener un dominio de la lengua adaptado tanto en sus contenidos léxicos como en su gramática a esta especialidad. Este cuaderno tiene como objetivo fundamental familiarizar a los futuros profesionales de la Fisioterapia con textos escritos en inglés relacionados con las diferentes especialidades que se incluyen en su ámbito profesional, así como dar unas pautas sencillas para que, a su vez, estos puedan difundir sus opiniones y sus propios trabajos de investigación en lengua inglesa. Cada unidad consta de dos partes: en la primera, se trabaja la comprensión lectora y el vocabulario a través de un artículo relacionado con una especialidad concreta; en la segunda parte, de la forma más sencilla posible, se le ofrecen al estudiante algunas de las herramientas gramaticales y discursivas más convenientes para escribir un texto científico. Finalmente, se incluye un glosario de términos relacionados con las diferentes especialidades de la Fisioterapia y una bibliografía donde se especifican las fuentes utilizadas, así como diversas gramáticas y diccionarios de utilidad para el alumno.0CONTENTS PRESENTACIÓN CUADERNOS PARA LA DOCENCIA INTRODUCTION UNIT 1.
