TEACHING ENGLISH TO PHARMACY STUDENTS: RESOURCES, IMPORTANCE AND APPLICATIONS

Summary/Abstract: The aim of this paper is to provide details on the importance of teaching language coursesto Pharmacy students, to present some published resources and coursebooks that languageinstructors in Pharmacy schools could use and, on the practical side, to present a useful applicationwhich helps students refresh and strengthen their knowledge of drug names’ orthography. Themethods of research that we have used are primary and secondary source analysis and thecomparative method. The primary sources that have been consulted are regulatory documents of theEuropean Union and of the National Health Service (NHS) of Great Britain, while the referredsecondary literature consists in seminal monographs and articles of theoreticians in this field, as wellas a selection of articles from the British and Romanian media. Given the scarcity of articles, booksand coursebooks that are dedicated to the teaching of foreign languages to Pharmacy students bycomparison to those available to General Medicine students, we consider that this is a welcomeaddition to a, hopefully, growing field within ESL/ESP.
