A Handout on Medical English for Health Professionals
By Goretti Faya Ornia and Héctor Hernández Lázaro
Published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing
This book offers a guide to medical English, and is addressed to healthcare professionals and students with an upper-intermediate level of English. It will also be useful as a handout for specialized English courses offered in medicine, nursing, and physiotherapy degrees, and can be used as a self-study book.
The book is made up of four chapters, structured into three sections: namely, grammar, science, and phonetics. Each chapter reviews the main points of English grammar, and works with the vocabulary of the medical field. The book also provides students with basic knowledge of phonetics, which will help them to improve their listening and speaking skills.

Applied Linguistics Research and Methodology: Proceedings from the 2015 CALS conference
Edited by Kristina Cergol Kovacevic and Sanda Lucija Udier
Published by Peter Lang
This book offers a selection of sixteen papers presented at the 29th international annual conference of the Croatian Applied Linguistics Society held in 2015. The papers in this book tackle an array of applied linguistics research concerns and provide methodological solutions to many a related problem. The authors’ contributions fall into three main strands of research focus: 1) methodological issues in second language teaching and learning research, 2) experimental research in applied linguistics and 3) spoken and written corpus studies. Almost each individual paper focuses on a different methodological issue in applied linguistics research, treading the path to new related studies.

Optimizing the Process of Teaching English for Medical Purposes with the Use of Mobile Applications: A Memrise-based Case Study
By Maria Chojnacka
Published by Peter Lang
The ubiquity of mobile devices has opened the way to extending learning environments far beyond the constraints of the traditional foreign language classroom. This book seeks to advance the knowledge about effective learning and teaching of English for Medical Purposes supported by mobile environments. The author investigates the effectiveness of the use of a mobile version of a flashcard spaced-repetition learning platform. In conclusion, she presents core principles of an educational solution that supports the ongoing and situated learning of English for Medical Purposes by designing a mobile spaced-repetition medical vocabulary tutor.
