NRSG-1003Pronunciation in Nursing
In this foundational course, students will prepare to communicate with clients, patients, and colleagues in the Canadian healthcare context by focusing on pronunciation. Students will achieve greater fluency and intelligibility in English pronunciation through structured practice and feedback. Students will examine and practice the production of common sounds, stress, intonation, pitch, and rhythm. Students will also examine accent bias to consider how this impacts interactions, relationships, and patient health. Throughout the course, students will reflect on personal skills as part of ongoing improvement towards communicating with patients and colleagues in the healthcare context.
