Description for Japanese for Healthcare Professionals
Hardcover. The only book in English for teaching Japanese to healthcare professionals Num Pages: 480 pages, 30 line drawings. BIC Classification: 2GJ; CJB; M. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 236 x 156 x 45. Weight in Grams: 1130.
The only book of its kind in English, Japanese for Healthcare Professionals is a proficiency-based conversation textbook offering a complete Japanese language course that teaches Japanese grammar along with the vocabulary of medical care.
With nearly three million Japanese tourists visiting the United States last year, and another five hundred thousand expatriates residing in the US and other English-speaking countries, it is inevitable that many Japanese speakers find themselves in need of healthcare but unable to communicate. Important highlights of this book are:
The accompanying audio recordings tie in core parts of each chapter, allowing learners to practice their spoken language skills outside of a classroom setting. The book also includes thirty illustrations to help with vocabulary acquisition, a pronunciation guide, an English-Japanese dictionary of medical terms, a glossary of Japanese expressions for common complaints, a sample bilingual medical questionnaire, and answers to the quizzes.
Emphasizing the learner's practical use of the Japanese language for healthcare settings and the importance of culture in understanding, Japanese for Healthcare Professionals reflects the national standards in foreign-language education set by the American Council on the Teaching of Foreign languages (ACTFL).
