Hi, I am an international nurse and I would like to have more information about the books that you sell on your website. Do you still sell #4 Dialogged and Readings© ISBN 0-9734582-0-8 ? If you don\'t sell this book anymore, where can I buy this book? I am also interested in books #2 and #3. I am currently living in the U.S. and I wonder how I can buy these books. I am looking forward to hearing from you soon. Thank you.

Hello We run an English language centre in Thailand and I am interested in language courses for nurses and other hospital personnel. Could you send us some more information about the level and contents of your courses? Warm regards, Erwin Herten Easy Talking Lc info@easytalkinglc.com

Subject: language levels for materials
Posted by Melodie /Canada/ on 2008-03-14

Hi, Erwin: Thanks for your inquiry. All of the materials at Clayton International Consulting are written at the level of intermediate or advanced English competency. That is because English for Nurses and Medical Personnel is career specific and falls into the ESL field of English for Specific Purposes. Bye for now, Melodie Hull

The following is an excerpt from an inquiry received February 2, 2006. ..."I am writing from Singapore. I got your contact from Dave’s ESL website. I am really interested in the ESL for Nursing programme that you have developed and would like to purchase one Teacher’s guide and a Student workbook for my reference. I have been impressed with your website too! I am an ESL teacher myself and have taught English to nurses in a hospital here. I’m also a part-time church worker, and am about to start an ‘English for Nursing’ course in my church. We have a lot of nurses from China coming to Singapore to work in the various hospitals here. We also do have Singaporean nurses in my church who are able to help me in teaching this programme." BP

I would like to thank you for your lit review (Whose Needs Are We Serving: How Is The Design Of Curriculum For English For Medical Purposes Decided?). It has been invaluable. I have agreed with the "bottom up" approach to curriculum planning for a long time. However, it is difficult to implement in counties where the "top down" method is so ingrained. After reading this article i tweaked my weekly "feed back" questionnaires and my initial "Learning Goals/Preferred Learning Style" questionnaire quite a bit. I am sure that they will be more effective now. Thank-you once again

Subject: Medical ESL listserv
Posted by marjorie whittaker /United States/ on 2008-09-12

Dear Melodie, Hello! I found your website when reading e-mails on the Medical ESL listserv. I am writing for 2 reasons: 1. I am a licensed and certifed speech-language patholgogist working with nonnative English speaking medical professionals, primarily on pronunciation/accent. I wanted to let you know that my colleague and I have published materials that might be of interest to you. You may go to: www.eslrules.com and successfully-speaking.com for information. 2. I also teach courses for medical professionals in the Boston area, and I am always looking for high-quality and user-friendly texts to supplement my own, I was very impressed with your site and was wondering if you might be able to make suggestions for additional course materials. Please e-mail me at your convenience,. Thanks so much for your time. Kind regards, Marjorie Whittaker
