Here's an example of a health literacy program from El Paso
Community College. The URL is
http://www.worlded.org/us/health/docs/elpaso/fivestep.htm
This program incorporates speaking, reading, and writing skills.
I'm sure there's many more similar programs. Everyday for
me here is a learning experience. Sharing ideas with other listserv
members has given me a wide view of a topic and a project that I've been
thinking about persuing. I'm considering an online ready reference to
textbooks like "Spanish for health care workers" by Case and Chase or
"Medical Spanish" by Jarvis and Lebredo. Also, I've been planning an
online content driven set of Spanish lessons using "Medlineplus in
Spanish" as the content. Several months ago a representative of
Medlineplus gave me permission to use screenshots from the topics
section.
These projects could be used in hospitals and Spanish
classes.
I'd like your input. Maybe these projects have already
been done and used in the health literacy. I'm like the fellow who
jumped out of the window of a skyscraper. On his way down some asked
him how things were going. He answered "So far so good." When he hit
the ground a policeman ran up to him and asked "What's going on here?"
And, the fellow answered "I don't know. I just got here myself."
Well, that's me. I just got here. I really don't know what been
discussed or what exists in the 'health literacy' field.
I'd like to hear from you. Thank you very much in
advance. Muchas gracias de antemano.
