    Description
    This AESL course prepares intermediate English language learners to communicate about health within the American medical system. Emphasis is on the language and cultural knowledge patients need for basic communication with doctors and medical/pharmacy staff. Students will improve their English speaking, listening, reading, and writing skills while role-playing health-related conversations, filling out medical documents, and interpreting labels on foods and medications. This is a noncredit open-entry/open-exit course.
