Lion Den -> Anatomy & Physiology -> Study Tips & Tools -> ESL

If English is not your first language, you may have some added difficulties learning anatomy and physiology in English.

Everybody has their own challenges in anatomy and physiology
--so don't be discouraged.

Here are some tips and links that you may find helpful in grappling with A&P in English:

   Try to TAKE IT SLOW.  Give yourself enough time to think about what you are hearing and reading.

Ask for help in the course.  As your professor, I am very happy to help you understand the concepts of this course . . . even when that means helping you with language comprehension.

Take extra care on test and exam questions.  The language used in test items is very precise and a small misinterpretation could mean a big difference in meaning.

If you need extra time on in-class exams because of your language issues, then talk to me early in the semester to discuss whether alternate arrangements for you may help.

Get help from your ESL teacher or counselor, if you have one.

If your first language is Spanish, or you are fluent in Spanish, there is a Spanish language edition of the A&P book that may help you understand the details of the course more clearly:

  Anatomía & Fisiología

There is also a Spanish version of a smaller, simpler textbook of A & P available:

  Estructura Y Función De Cuerpo Humano

You may find this helpful, too:

  English to Spanish and Spanish to English (Mosby) Medical Dictionary /
Diccionario Ingles Espanol y Espanol Ingles (Mosby) de Medicina

If your first language is Japanese, Chinese (Mandarin), or Italian, there are versions of one or both of these works available in those languages as well.

In addition, there are other similar works available in other languages, too.  Search amazon.com to find them:
