I. Presentación:

La globalización ha influido de manera decisiva en los procesos formadores y de


prestación de servicios, permitiendo un incremento del pensamiento estratégico
relacionado con la formación y el desarrollo de recursos humanos competentes, con
habilidades para las relaciones interpersonales, la comunicación, capacidad para
enfrentar los nuevos retos de la profesión, la innovación y las complejas tecnologías, lo
que repercute en la calidad de los servicios que se le brindan a la población. 1
La enseñanza de las lenguas extranjeras en la universidad ofrece la posibilidad de
instrumentar un trabajo que enriquezca su área profesional en conjunto con diferentes
áreas de trabajo y conocimiento. En el siglo XXI, está presente el enfoque basado en la
comprensión de textos ya que es una parte lingüística fundamental dentro de la
sociedad en la que nos desenvolvemos.

En Pedagogía de la autonomía, Freire, P. (2004), nos convoca acerca de lo que los


maestros deben saber, y de lo que deben hacer, en el proceso de la enseñanza –
aprendizaje, sobre todo cuando el énfasis esta puesto para la inclusión de todos los
individuos en la sociedad. El inglés de Centro de Auto-Aprendizaje de Idiomas es un
curso teórico-práctico, cuya tendencia implica el operar un plan de estudio en el cual el
estudiante de enfermería tenga la necesidad de aprender un segundo idioma para ser
competente en su área laboral y/o social.
El inglés del CAADI es una unidad de aprendizaje orientada al inglés especializado en
ciencias de salud y designado para alumnos de nivel intermedio que quieren usar su
conocimiento para la comunicación internacional en la rama de enfermería.

II. Propósito(s):

La Unidad de Aprendizaje tiene como propósito fortalecer el conocimiento del


estudiante con las habilidades del lenguaje y experiencias que ellos necesitan
desarrollar para sus metas profesionales y académicas. Los estudiantes son
expuestos a situaciones de la vida real que permiten el uso del lenguaje en
diferentes formas significativas. Y la integración del desarrollo de todas las
habilidades que permite el éxito y seguridad en sí mismo en la interacción social y
profesional en la comunidad global del habla inglesa.

Scientists have found a new use for children’s imaginations. To make the pain
from stomachaches go away. The BBC reports on a new study that shows:
“Children can be taught to use their imagination to more frequent bouts of
stomach pain.” This may be very good news for parents who need a quick tackle
for their sick children. Any mother or father understands stomach problems are
one of the most active things their children complain about. Around twenty per
cent of children frequent from stomachaches that doctors cannot find a suffer for.
This new research is especially good for kids with reason imaginations.
Researchers found that the remedy creative the child is, the better he or she is at

imagining the pain away.


The researchers, from America’s University of North Carolina and Duke
University Medical Center, techniques a relaxation CD with children. The kids
listened to a voice that guided them through different fantasy situations. One of
these was pretending to be floating on a cloud. Thirty children took part in the
tests. Half of them used the “guided imagery” excited; the other half received
used medicines. Researchers found 73.3 per cent of the CD users reported a
reduction in pain. This compared to only 26.7 per cent of kids who got normal
treatment. Study leader Dr Miranda van Tilburg was very normal about her
findings. She believes it could be a very cheap and easy way to stop children’s
stomach pains. She said it would not work as well with adults.

Exercise 4. Read the next information and then answer the corresponding
questions.

Drugstores and Medicines

Drugstores in this country may be very different from


pharmacies in your country; drugstores here usually sell many
things besides drugs. You can find paper products such as
Kleenex and toilet paper, as well as soaps, hair products and
toothpaste. Most drugstores also carry greeting cards, wrapping paper, books,
magazines, school supplies, chocolates and candies. Many North American
drugstores also sell cosmetics and toys. In fact, up until very recently, most
drugstores even sold cigarettes!
Of course, the most important product in the drugstore is medicine. There are two
basic kinds of medicines: prescription drugs and non-prescription drugs, which are
also called “over-the counter” drugs. Prescription drugs are stronger than non-
prescription drugs. To buy prescription drugs, you must have an order or
prescription from your doctor. Sleeping pills and antibiotics such as penicillin
require a prescription. Pharmacies also carry many non-prescription medicines
such as aspirin, cough and cold remedies, ointments and creams for rashes and
sore muscles

Answer the questions according the previous reading.

children should take it. In this example, children
should be at least two and no older than eleven.

same noun or pronoun in them. Relative pronouns form the
beginning of a relative clause. In English there are five basic
relative pronoun forms:
Who : We use who and whom for people
Which: which for things.
That: we can use that for people or things.
Whose : We use whose as the possessive form of who:
EXAMPLE
Florence Nightingale is the person who found the Nursing.
The Licensed Practical Nurse is the nurse that provides basic
medical and nursing care.
The stethoscope is a tool which the doctor uses for a check up.
Mr. Smith is the radiologist whose is doing X-Ray tests.

READING

Exercise 3. Read the next information about the famous painter and writer Frida
Kahlo. And answer the next questions.

Frida Kahlo is one of the most iconic artists of the


twentieth and twenty-first centuries, and admirers all
over the world have emulated both her personal style
and her paintings. Her trademark eyebrows, flower
crown, and colorful skirts are recognizable worldwide.
She Borns on 6 July 1907 at La Casa Azul (The Blue
House) in Mexico City, Frida Kahlo was the third
daughter of Guillermo and Matilde Kahlo. Her father
was German, and her mother was mestiza (of Spanish
and Amerindian heritage). As an artist, Kahlo was
heavily influenced by indigenous Mexican culture and art, which her own works
would later reflect. Kahlo was a prolific painter but also wrote extensively, both in
letters and in private journals.

20
|

Her early life was marked by chaos and tragedy, which shaped her artistic and
philosophical approaches. When Kahlo was only three years old, the Mexican
Revolution began, marking what many scholars consider the beginnings of
modern Mexico. This social and political upheaval lasted about a decade, ending
finally in 1920.

Amidst this chaos, in 1913, when she was only six years old, Kahlo
contracted polio; as a result, her right leg failed to develop properly, and remained
much smaller and skinnier than her left leg. It was because of this that Kahlo wore
the long, colorful skirts she has become so known for.

Although Kahlo’s paintings are known for their vivid colors and brilliant images,
their beginnings were much darker. In 1925, when Kahlo was eighteen years old,
she was involved in a near-fatal accident when the bus she was riding in collided
with a trolley. She suffered multiple, severe injuries, including a broken spine and
collarbone, which left her a full-body cast for several months. One of the bus’s
handrails also impaled Kahlo in the crash, piercing her uterus and leaving her
without the ability to have children.

As Kahlo recovered from these terrible injuries, she began painting. Painting
became her way of coping with the deep sadness that came from being bound to
her bed as she waited for her injuries to heal. (I mean, can you image spending
that much time alone?) The crash left Kahlo with serious pain that plagued her for
the rest of her life and made her feel trapped within her broken body. The bus
crash and the years of resulting pain served to inspire many of Kahlo’s paintings,
which explore the isolation and fragmentation of identity following trauma.

Although scholars often characterize her style as surrealist (characterized by a


dreamlike and sometimes morbid style), Kahlo rejected the label, stating that she
painted her reality. The vibrant colors and symbols prevalent in Kahlo’s works
reflect her Mexican heritage and still serve as powerful icons of Mexican art.

A general practitioner or G.P. is also called a family


doctor. He or she can treat most medical problems,
but if the patient has a very serious condition, he/she

many kinds of medical specialists. For example, a
pediatrician looks after children. A gynecologist specializes in women’s medical
conditions. An obstetrician cares for pregnant women and delivers babies. A
cardiologist deals with heart problems. If you have a serious problem with your
skin, you can see a dermatologist. Surgeons perform operations. A psychiatrist
looks after people with mental and emotional problems. Dentists look after teeth
and optometrists check your eyes to see if you need glasses. If you have a

more kinds of doctors who specialize indifferent areas of the body. Your G.P. can
determine if it is necessary to see one of these.
If you want to see your doctor, it is necessary to phone and make an appointment.
The nurse or receptionist will ask you what the problem is and may ask you to
describe your symptoms before she gives you an appointment. If you have an
appointment with a doctor and cannot make it, you must call and cancel. If you
call the doctor’s office and it is closed, there will be an answering service to take
your call. If your problem is serious, the doctor will call you back. If he/she is not
available, another doctor will be “on call”. Nowadays, walk-in clinics are
becoming very popular. You do not need an appointment to see a doctor in these
clinics. Many people use these for minor problems, particularly on weekends or
evenings when their regular doctor’s office is closed. If you have a very serious
medical problem, you can go directly to the emergency department of your
nearest hospital or call an ambulance.

Health and hygiene in the 19th century

In this letter, Florence Nightingale outlines her belief that patient health depends
on the environmental conditions in which they recover from injuries and diseases.
She recommends cleanliness and clean air – in addition to whatever directly
medical treatment the patient is undergoing.

At the time she wrote this letter, Nightingale was already a national hero – the
legendary ‘Lady With The Lamp’ of the Crimean War. While serving as a nurse in
Crimea from 1854 to 1856, she noticed that more soldiers in her care were dying
from infectious diseases than were dying from wounds. She thought this was due
to overcrowding and malnutrition, but her proposed solutions – better ventilation
and better sanitation – were effectively the foundation of modern nursing. A
talented mathematician, Nightingale spent the late 1850s proving statistically that
a concentration on sanitation and cleanliness in hospitals had a hugely beneficial
effect on patient recovery rates. International Nurses Day is celebrated every
year on Nightingale’s birthday, May 12.

Dear Mr Chadwick

I make haste to answer your question as to my experience (as an old nurse) in the
'application of the water cure to incipient consumption,' especially as it regards so
valuable a life.

1. In incipient tuberculosis, [where the object is to avoid local congestion, the water
treatment (not as a charm, as Englishwomen take medicine, but as part of a
treatment) I have seen to be most effectual, the rest of the treatment being open air
during the greater part of the day] (riding or otherwise, according to the patient's
strength), bedroom ventilation at night, diet, founded upon improved digestion, the
result of the open-air exercise, sometimes gentle gymnastics, much cold water
sponging and little wet-sheet packing.

Tylenol makers deny danger change

NEW ORLEANS (UPI)- The manufactures of


Tylenol contend only massive overdose of their
painkillers can cause severe medical problems,

41
despite earlier reports linking the medication with permanent liver damage or
death in people who drink alcohol regularly.

The Mc Nell Consumer Products Co, issued its statement Thursday in response
to a report by a University of Minnesota researcher, Dr. Craing J. Mc Clain.

McClain told a group attending Digestive Disease Week meeting in New Orleans
this week that as few as 14 extra-strength Tylenol painkillers could cause liver
damage or death to regular drinkers.

McClain said he first noticed the medical problems in three alcoholics who used
the painkillers acetaminophen. Two of those alcoholics suffered permanent liver
damage and third died.

Tylenol is the trade name for acetaminophen, which is used alone or mixed with
other ingredients in more than 200 pain remedies.

“Only in cases where extremely large overdoses of acetaminophen have been


ingested has liver damage previously been reported. Invariably, these large
overdoses are taken with suicidal intent and such patients commonly ingest other
potentially toxic substances, including alcohol”, a company spokesman said.
