    Dear 4th Year students,

    Welcome to the 4th year English course!

    The teachers are Mr Danan, Ms Fadel, Ms Navel, Ms. Owens, Ms Warrach and Ms Weyrich.

    Teacher in charge of this teaching unit: Ms Weyrich (elodie.weyrich@universite-paris-saclay.fr)

    /!\ IMPORTANT:
    English classes are held in CentraleSupélec's Eiffel building (5-10min walk from BPC: please take this parameter into account to be on time!). Our classrooms are on the 3rd (sometimes 4th) floor of the building. Your classroom will be posted on this page.

    Classes are every Wednesday from 8.30 to 10 / 10.05 to 11.35 / 11.40 to 1.10pm, depending on your group. 

    You will be assigned a group based on your 3Y results. 

    Semester 1: 

    Groups A, B, C, D, E, F - 8.30 -10.00

    Groups G, H, I, J, K, L - 10.05-11.35 

    Groups M, N, O, P -  11.40-13.10

    •

    Semester 2 : 

    Groups G, H, I, J, K, L -  8.30 -10.00

    Groups B, F, M, N, O, P -  10.05-11.35 

    Groups A, C, D, E - 11.40-13.10


    You will soon find a PDF version of the course booklet on which we will work (it will be uploaded on this page in September). To do your work,  you MUST HAVE A COPY of the booklet with you (paper or digital).

    Mastering English is necessary for anyone who wants to work in pharmacy (and, more generally, in science), no matter if your ambition for the future is to work in a community pharmacy, in the pharmaceutical industry, or as a hospital pharmacist.

    Attendance to English classes is 100% compulsory (you MUST come or you will not be allowed to take the final exam) and any absences must be justified with a valid written document within 3 days & at the next class at the latest: see your English teacher about this.

    The aim of the 4th year English course is to help students acquire new skills in scientific English, particularly in oral communication.

    Objectives

    By the end of the year, all students should be able to:

    o present their research on a topic with ease and fluency  in a group, in front of an audience.

    o understand the main points of a video or a text (article) and write  a summary.

    o understand the health systems and the pharmaceutical industry in the UK, the USA and India

    o express their opinion about a number of ethical issues, using the
    appropriate vocabulary.

    o read a research paper, understand the main points and present it in front of an audience.

    Training material

    In the Course Information section, you will find documents, links and other things to further your knowledge of English on your own.

      CLASS 3 video - KEY:

      Most Americans depend on ther employer for health insurance

      Many lost their jobs.

      Therefore, they also lost their insurance.

      To help out, President Biden has changed the Affodable Care Act for more people to subscribe to government-subsidized insurance

      Nevertheless, many people are not eligible, because they are too wealthy

      The problem is even though they are not poor, they still can’t afford private healthcare

      ·         In 2021, due to COVID, there were more or less 35 million unemployed

      ·         The middle class are struggling (luttent) because they have no income

      ·         Moreover, they are too rich to qualify for Medicaid, and they cannot afford state-subsidized plans

      ·         Joe Biden tried to extend Medicaid to middle-class citizens but he didn’t really manage, because the insurance plans are too expensive.
