Abstract

In fall 2016, the School of Pharmacy reached out to the Applied English Center to create an English class for pharmacy students who speak English as an additional language (EAL). The English for specific purposes (ESP) pilot course would target English for the community pharmacy setting. The idea behind the course was to help EAL students who have succeeded in the classroom but need to adjust their pronunciation and oral grammar to be more comprehensible to local Kansas patients.
