Course objectives
In this e-learning course, we aimed to address the challenges posed by communication with preschool-aged child patients. Students of Czech as a foreign language may encounter communication with child patients only sporadically in commonly used Czech textbooks. Therefore, we visited general practitioners' offices and we developed specialized exercised based on audio recordings or authentic linguistic material. We emphasized the differences between communication with adults and communication with children and highlighted typical features of children's speech in the preschool age group. Although a significant part of the communication occurs between healthcare personnel (doctor and nurse) and the crucial role is played by nonverbal communication and sociocultural factors, we believe this e-learning course will be useful for medical faculty students.
Learning outcomes
After completion of the course the student will be able to:
- identify important features of Czech language in preschool children;
