Mince, ce site n'est plus à jour ! Mais Dialogue McGill à un nouveau site Web!
Le Self -Study Workbook for Health & Social Services Professionals : Module 1 Receptionists a été conçu à des fins de formation linguistique en anglais langue professionnelle. La nature même de l'ouvrage fait en sorte que l'information s'y trouvant n'est disponible qu'en anglais.
Ce cahier et les documents vidéo et audio qui l’accompagnent vous proposent une variété de scénarios reproduisant des situations types que vivent quotidiennement des infirmiers et infirmières de triage avec leurs clients. Les apprenants qui visionnent les vidéos, écoutent les documents audio et effectuent les exercices du Cahier apprendront à utiliser les termes anglais appropriés qui leur permettront :
- de mieux comprendre ce que disent les clients;
- de développer des stratégies de communication afin d’éviter les malentendus;
- de composer avec les interruptions;
- de rassurer les clients émotifs;
- d’être sensibilisés davantage aux différences culturelles et aux réalités de leur milieu de travail;
- d’enrichir leur vocabulaire afin de poser des questions de base, de donner des instructions, de donner des rendez-vous au téléphone ou en personne;
- d’aider les clients à remplir des formulaires;
- de diriger les clients vers les services appropriés.
