English for Dietetics - ebook

English for Dietetics to pierwszy podręcznik do nauki specjalistycznego języka angielskiego na poziomie B1/B2 wg Europejskiego Systemu Opisu Kształcenia Językowego przeznaczony dla studentów dietetyki. Powstał dzięki współpracy nauczycieli akademickich zajmujących się nauczaniem języka angielskiego z ekspertami z zakresu dietetyki.
Publikacja pomoże poznać język angielski z dziedziny dietetyki oraz ułatwi komunikowanie się z obcokrajowcami – zarówno ze specjalistami, jak i pacjentami.
Zawiera słownictwo i struktury gramatyczne, które pozwolą: przeprowadzić wywiad żywieniowy i ogólnomedyczny, dokonać oceny żywienia i odżywienia pacjenta, omawiać diety i wyrażać poglądy na tematy zawodowe związane z leczeniem dietetycznym.
Poszczególne rozdziały wprowadzają podstawowe pojęcia z zakresu:
* budowy ludzkiego ciała, układów i ich funkcji, ze szczególnym uwzględnieniem układu pokarmowego,
* procesów trawienia,
* chemii i biochemii medycznej.
Ponadto w książce znalazły się narzędzia językowe potrzebne m.in. do analizowania i budowania piramid żywieniowych, układania diet oraz ich weryfikacji, tzw. patient-centred approach.
Nagrania audio zamieszczone na portalu medycyna.pzwl.pl pomogą opanować prawidłową wymowę.
Podręcznik może być wykorzystywany w pracy z nauczycielem, jak i do samodzielnego uczenia się.

Reading

Academic vocabulary

As a student you have to read a lot of academic and scientific texts in a limited time. The useful reading techniques are skimming and scanning. When you skim the text you look for the general or main ideas. You read only what is important to your purpose. When you scan you look only for a specific fact or a piece of information. You must pay attention to the structure of the text because you are supposed to locate the specific items you need.

The original texts (A–E) come from the official web pages of King’s College, Department of Nutrition and Dietetics in London.

| Undergraduate study |
| |
| For undergraduates, King’s offers both the broad-based three-year Nutrition BSc and the four-year Nutrition and Dietetics BSc programme which includes registration in dietetics*. Generally students on programmes leading to registration in dietetics do not pay tuition fees and can apply for National Health Service bursaries. |
| |
| * graduates are eligible to apply for registration as a dietician with the Health and Care Professions Council |
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Postgraduate study |
| |
| Postgraduates at King’s are members of an intellectually stimulating environment that offers world-class research support facilities and a broad and innovative skills development programme. |
| |
| Research in Nutritional Sciences may lead to an MPhil (two years full time) or PhD (three years full time). |
| |
| Find out more about our postgraduate programmes. |

| Nutrition BSc (3 year programme) |
| |
| The Nutrition BSc programme at King’s qualifies students for a wide variety of careers. The programme is normally studied full-time over three years, though provision exists for part-time study during one of the years. It is a broad degree, allowing nutrition to be studied in the context of other biological sciences. Specialist modules in nutrition make up approximately half the programme, spread over all three years to allow progression in the depth of study and the breadth of subject knowledge. In years two and three, students are allowed sufficient choice to develop a coherent programme of study in a variety of related disciplines. This enables the graduate to work in a number of nutrition-related fields, and recognises the fact that nutritional science develops by the subject’s interface with other biological sciences. |
| |
| Students may apply for an extramural placement between second and final year, taking up paid employment in food industry or research establishment in the UK or elsewhere in Europe. |
| |
| The programme is accredited by the Nutrition Society. Graduates are therefore eligible to apply for direct entry to the UK Voluntary Register of Accredited Nutritionists. |

| Teaching and learning style |
| |
| Teaching is based on lectures, seminars, tutorials, practical classes, directed reading and supervised research. There is ample scope for students to pursue their own lines of interest in course work, research protocol design and project choice. The Franklin Wilkins Building library facilitates literature based and electronic work. The Metabolic Research Unit in the Department facilitates the running of small human clinical trials. The Dietetic Kitchen in the Department facilitates the preparation of food-based nutrition interventions. The laboratories in the Department and the Franklin Wilkins Building Genomics Centre facilitate state-of-the-art molecular nutrition research. You will also be assigned a Personal Tutor who can advise on academic or personal issues you may be experiencing. |
