Details

The main objective of the course is to offer nursing staff the communication competences necessary in a foreign language (CEFR B) to carry out dedicated communicative tasks in a clinical setting by means of scenarios: patient-centred care (e.g. handing-out drugs, wound-care, change of position in bed, assistance with activities of daily living), diagnostic procedures (e.g. measuring blood pressure, taking body temperature), distribution of food, change of shift (introducing patients and their cases to colleagues, interacting informally with colleagues). The contents and materials are developed in 6 languages (EN, DE, ES, IT, NL, SV) and cover the following areas: admission and discharge, observation, history taking, consultation (doctor's round), care and instructing, patient queries and emotions, patient/treatment management, administering medication, administration and logistics, shift handover. • Nurses employed in hospitals, day care centres, medical health centres, GP’s practices or home care will have the opportunity to improve the foreign language used in their work both at home and abroad. • Educators and trainers will gain the necessary skills to implement this training path and the support materials in their institutions.

International nursing students developed video cases (flexible storyboards with voice-over) in an authentic task-based approach based on gamification principles. Scenarios can be studied in class or used in-service as support tools according to preference and relevance to alleviate immediate needs. Before the study programme participants will already engage with the materials online/mobile. During the five-day study programme participants will undergo blended, autonomous and teaching experiences. They will reflect about their own experiences, experiment with different learning routes and routines, discuss the visual input and interactive structure of the scenario story boards, the role of the social network sites as community support and the accreditation potential for nursing, languages and learning.
