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:

Dictionary /
Diccionario Ingles Espanol y Espanol Ingles (Mosby) de Medicina If your first language is Japanese,

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