Course description

Private One-to-One English lessons can be arranged at the school. Minimum booking is 2 hours per session.

Our English for Medical Purposes course is taught by experienced English teachers focused on preparing doctors, nurses and healthcare professionals for working and studying in English-speaking environments. Our goal is to provide the language our students will need to be successful in the unique world of medical professionals. Throughout the course, we emphasise real-life communication – from history-taking and examination to diagnosis and treatment – and provide the student with the self-learning skills, and self-awareness, to take away with them for the rest of their careers.

Topics covered include:
• Taking histories
• Examining patients
• Investigations
• Making and sharing diagnoses
• Treatment
• Report-writing and Presentations
• Research
• Ethics
• Admissions, Discharging for nurses
• Patient care for nurses
• Key vocabulary of the body, medicine and disease
• Patient communication skills
• Authentic Materials – a selection of articles, memoirs and videos designed to take your learning
beyond the coursebook.

Our English for Medical Purposes courses will develop all four skills – reading, listening, speaking and writing – and help students gain confidence in the use of specific medical terminology. Courses are flexible in order to meet the individual needs of our students.

Listening, Speaking, Pronunciation, Reading, Writing, Vocabulary, Grammar and Activities

"Besides issues, it was very good, I enjoyed very much."

Julia Chelesa Romero Canto, student from Brazil

Good evening,
I found very confusing at the first days, because I did the test required to enter the school in General English, but they said they were having issues with the teacher, she did not show up. Than they left me in the course for IELTS tests. I subscribed for a course that was supposed to be one week and I spent 2 of my 5 days in the IELTS course but besides that everything was fine, I took some training on my university to do the exam if I want one or two times, so I already knew it a little. On the third day I went to the right class and i did a test on the end of the week, so I was supposed to lern in three days. On the other hand I already knew the subjects from my university, so I believe it worked as a review to me. Fortunately I did pass the test.

Dispite of the little problems, it was very nice, I enjoyed the classes and the staff was very kind to me, I will recommend it for sure.

Thank you for your feedback on your experience at KKCL. We are glad you enjoyed your stay despite not being placed in the course of your choice for the first two days, and that you would recommend the school in the future.
On rare occasions, and due to unforeseen circumstances- such as staff illness - KKCL chooses to combine classes similar in level. It is done in a way that always takes into consideration the new class dynamics, ensuring materials are tailored to the needs of both exam and General English Students.
When these decisions are made, we ensure to inform all students as soon as possible, making sure that everyone is satisfied with the change.
We apologise that this caused confusion for you in your initial days of studying, but we are glad that you had a good a good experience overall.

"It was amazing and enriching"

Louise Foglia, student from Canada

The classes helped me to improve my English and be more confident when I speak. The housing was perfect because the house was clean, my room was big, the food was good and most of all, the host family was welcoming.

"It was amazing."

Petra Noskova

I am very happy that we had this opportunity to stay in KKCL. For our students it was a very important experience to help them find new motivation in learning English. Teachers in KKCL are very friendly and nice and also demanding. They are very creative, encourage students to work hard. The school's location is good, not far from the city center but in a quiet area. Experience with English families was very useful for our students especially because they communicated with them a lot.

We look forward to seeing you again soon this summer!

"An unforgettable trip"

tiziana panato

We liked everything about KKCL: Tuition, organization of social activities, meals, and barbecues. The only bad thing was the hotel. The teachers' rooms had no windows and the bathroom facilities were out of order.

Hi Tiziana! We're glad you were happy with the school! We have a new partner hotel right next to Wembley Stadium now so next time you come you will see improvements in the off-site facilities.

"A memorable experience"

MANI OLFA

It was a good opportunity for me to visit London. I enjoyed class with my teacher, who by the way was an amazing person. KKCL had an interesting location; the bus station and the underground tube were very close. I thank all the staff. It is a strange town but I felt really secure all my stay.

Dear Student,

We are glad that you enjoyed your stay at KKCL. We look forward to receiving more students from Tunisia. Thank you!

"It was nice. I wish I can come back."

Nada Ben jlaiel

I didn't like the location of the school, but I liked the teachers. I wish the classes were more fun though, and I wish the class was more crowded, because I studied with people I knew from my country and I didn't have the chance to know people from different backgrounds so that the experience got more interesting. As for the housing, I liked the family I stayed with. I felt very welcomed and they were really nice.
