Subject: W-8BEN Form
Posted by Velva Roberson /Canada/ on 2007-12-06
Cy-Fair College is interested in ordering books by Melodie Hull. In order to do so, we need to have a W-8 Form completed in order to set you up in our accounts payable system.
Who should receive this form and where should I fax it to? Also, what is the approximate delivery time once a P.O. is issued?
I may be reached at xxxxxxxxx
Thank you for your attention.

Posted by Melodie /Canada/ on 2007-12-12
Hi, Velva:
I know we've now spoken directly through our e-mail, but I thought I'd post a reply to your message to help other readers understand your question. W8-BEN is an American tax form (sorry, I don't know all the details) that a lot of College bookstores require an author or publisher to fill out before a payment can be made. It's odd that schools want this filled out even though I am in another country and it is irrelevant, but a number of big colleges in the USA have insisted on it and I have faxed it back. Oh well, such is bureaucracy! Happy to comply.
Bye, everyone!
PS: I took your direct phone number off the Message Board to protect your privacy.

Subject: Are e-books possible?
Posted by Peter /China/ on 2009-02-18
Hi Melody,
I saw a post on Dave's ESL cafe, and thought I'd ask you if it's possible to get your books electronically (and if so, what price?). I need to get the book as fast as possible, as I have a teacher who will begin teaching a course to some doctors in China next week.
If it could be made avaliable as an E-book, could you let me know the price.
Thanks,
Peter.

Hi, Peter:
Thanks for your question. The answer is 'no', e-books are not available. The reason for that is to protect my copyright.
Sorry I can't be of more help to you.

Subject: TESOL certification course
Posted by Annete /United States/ on 2009-05-02
Ms. Hull-
Can you recommend any reputable TESOL training courses or schools of training for medical/nursing english? Do you think that online TESOL training is equitable to classroom based courses?
Thanks much
Replies Posted:Subject: Looking for a TESOL certificate?
Posted by Melodie /Canada/ on 2009-05-03
Hello. When looking for a TESOL certificate course, please try your local community college or university first before applying to a private school I only say this because the credits you earn for that certificate may very well be transferable to a degree in ESL, Education or a similar program should you choose to return to advance your education at a later date. However, there are many reputable private schools out there offering TESOL certificates. Check with your local adult education licensing board and/or the Better Business Bureau to ensure your chosen school is in good standing. Personally, I would like to recommend the TESOL Certificate Program at Thompson Rivers University, Kamloops, BC, Canada (www.tru.ca). Although I do not teach in this program, I am employed by TRU as a distance educator in one of their nursing programs. You might also consider the University of Wollongong, Australia. I am not sure if they have a TESOL certificate, but I took a Masters Degree with them by Distance Education that was excellent. There is nothing wrong with a TESOL Certificate program on-line AS LONG AS THERE IS A PRACTICUM EXPERIENCE as part of the required studies. This means that if you do not reside in the city where the TESOL Certificate is being given, you may (with permission of the school) complete a teaching practicum in your home town (or abroad) with a Preceptor Instructor from the school. This must be prearranged before you begin your studies. I would suggest you prearrange this and get it in writing, prior to paying your tuition. I hope you have found this information helpful. All the best to you and your studies. Melodie Hull

Subject: Korean Nurses Adjustment in the USA
Posted by Melodie /Canada/ on 2008-01-01
Hi, everyone:
You might find this article interesting. 'Korean Nurses Adjustment to Hospitals in the USA' by Yi and Jezewski in the Journal of Advanced Nursing, Volume 32, Issue 3, September 2000. Take a look at the Korean nurses' subjective reports on overcoming language barriers and accepting USA nursing practices. I believe this information supports the work I am doing with English for Nurses/English for Medical Purposes. Your thoughts?

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

Subject: English for Nurses Online Course
Posted by Ben /Thailand/ on 2007-10-20

Posted by Melodie /Canada/ on 2007-10-21
Hi, Ben:
Thanks for your inquiry. Clayton International Consulting does NOT offer an on-line course. Have you checked our 'Books' page? You might find some interesting material there that you can use in your studies or teaching.
Subject: Asking for Permission
Posted by Pauline Rondé /Canada/ on 2007-05-24
Hi Melodie, I bought your workbooks a few years ago. I find your exercises on medication very good. Therefore, I would like to ask for your permission to make photocopies for use in class.
Replies Posted:Subject: Copying my Work?
Posted by Melodie /Canada/ on 2007-05-26
Hi, Pauline: Nice to hear from you. I appreciate your honesty and integrity in asking if you can copy some of my exercises. I am afraid the answer is 'no'. The students should buy their own workbooks so they can not only write in them, but keep them for future reference. That is what they were designed for. PLEASE DO NOT COPY THEM. THAT IS A COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT. However, you do have some academic freedom/permission to put the occasional exercise up on the blackboard or overhead and work from there. Once again, I applaud your integrity. Yours very truly, Melodie Hull, Nurse-Educator & Consultant, Canada

Subject: Books are 'great'
Posted by David M /Canada/ on 2009-02-22
Hi Melodie,
R. sent the books on from Cranbrook and they have arrived. Thanks for making them available for him to do that.
I've had a chance to quickly review them and they are great - just what I was looking for. It is true they have a Canadian orientation but they will still be very useful in the E.U.
We leave for Estonia later in the month and I am anxious to test the market for teaching Medical English to Doctors, Nurses, Pharmacists etc. - thank you again for making the these preliminary materials available.
Kindest regards
David M, Pharmacist, TESL
