Professional Nurse

The main objective of the project is to develop four language courses (in English, German, Spanish and Italian) for nurses, available on CD-ROM. It is worth noticing that the didactic material will take into consideration the specific needs of the target group. It will enable learning the language on a basic level (A1, A2) by using the method of self-learning and it will cover important practical issues connected with the job of a nurse. The thematic-lexical material of individual modules will be introduced by short video scenes, photos and visual presentations which will make the learning process easier. Moreover, the vocabulary will be presented in specific situations, which will let the students directly associate an action with its name in a given language. Two companions will be attached to the educational package, in which the method of e-learning in learning/teaching will be presented: Student’s Companion and Teacher’s Companion.
An important element of the project is its website www.pronurse.eu. On the website there will be published descriptions of health care systems in partner countries, which will result in raising the awareness of similarities and differences between professional environments in individual countries, making it easier for nurses to adapt to the new work environment.
The project started on 1 November 2006 and its ending is scheduled for 31 October 2008.
