Workshop for Doctors and Pharmacists

Excellent, good quality, interesting, comprehensive, instructive, with a lot of useful and

usable vocabulary, phrases and abbreviations... In a word, excellent, many, many professional

expressions which are otherwise hard to find in one place... these are only some of the

impressions expressed by the participants in the workshop for doctors and pharmacists held

last week.

The presentation by the professional and enthusiastic Prof. T. Horvat was assessed as very

interesting and dynamic, with plenty of useful material, presented skilfully and professionally

in a very short time. All in all, an excellent workshop!

If you're having a party, make it a tea party!

Christmas is a time for giving, full of tradition and a special magic. It is an opportunity for us

to tell our own Christmas story in our own way, and in so doing say "Thank you" to our

students, co-workers and partners, for our successful work. The Tea Party organized by the

English department for all students was a real hit. We served the best Earl Grey tea,

cucumber sandwiches, cookies and, of course, what sort of Christmas party would it be

without punch and traditional Christmas songs!

Another workshop in the series was held for students at Vodnikova. The intention of Prof.

Blažić was to make it easier for students to remember and retain new content by using

metaphors and associations, powerful tools which help us recognize and remember certain

concepts, words or structures in learning the English language. At the beginning of the

workshop she talked about intelligence, the triune brain theory, synaptic connections, and

linking ideas.

This dynamic and educational workshop was truly interesting, and students were also given a

list of ideas to help them learn English more easily and in a fun way.

Job Interview

All the participants were delighted with the workshop entitledJob Interview. The aim was

to instruct participants in how to prepare as well as possible for the final and most important

step in their search for a job, and how to avoid typical mistakes,. They had the opportunity to

listen to a native speaker and with his help work out the meaning of the abbreviations that

frequently appear in advertisements for jobs, and put into practice his advice on how to

behave at a job interview.

Of course, the time passed very quickly, and you can hear the rest of the story from the

comments:

"I like the interaction with other participants. The subject is very useful".

"Very informative. I learned a great deal through practising and simulated interviews."
