Dear Student ,

We have designed this self-study part II (ESP 450B) for a technical and

scientific English, to develop your vocabulary, speaking and listening skills as well

technical writing with a holistic approach.

Listening skills such as bottom up and top down will exercise your ears and

brain to become a very effective listener. It is useful when you listen to a lecturer

from YouTube or attend an international congress abroad. Speaking is a

productive skill so communication activities such as info gap, retelling, dialogues,

simulations, dramas, interviews will be deeply developed throughout this course.

Information on the web: very technical and scientific documents, such as scientific

reviews, instructional manuals, technical handbooks, books, magazines, and other

high- tech information will be used to write technical summaries, take notes and

reports.

You will also study a functional grammar to be able to communicate ideas in a

professional context. This self-study guide for Physical Therapy brings today’s

professionals the fundamental language tools they need to stay competitive in a

fast-moving world.

We will follow your progress through performance assessment. It will keep your

learning tight to the real world tasks so your learning is customized.

There is a lot to learn in this ESP self-study guide.

Reading Selection 1
Occupational Therapy Using a Sensory Integration–Based
Approach with Adult Populations
Occupational performance difficulties due to sensory modulation challenges or
poor integration of sensation can result from difficulties in how the nervous system
receives, organizes, and uses sensory information from the body and the physical
environment for self-regulation, motor planning, and skill development. These
problems impact self-concept, emotional regulation, attention, problem solving,
behavior control, skill performance, and the capacity to develop and maintain
interpersonal relationships. In adults, they may negatively impact the ability to
parent, work, or engage in home management, social, and leisure activities.

What is the Role of Occupational Therapy with Adults with Sensory Processing
Issues? Occupational performance concerns due to poor integration and
processing of sensation may occur in isolation, contribute to, or be comorbid with
other conditions such as anxiety and panic disorders, depression, posttraumatic
stress disorder, or schizophrenia. Those with learning disabilities, attention deficit
disorder, developmental disabilities, or autism spectrum disorders may also have
these difficulties.
Occupational therapists have unique training and skills in neuroscience,
anatomy, and activity/environmental analysis to identify and treat occupational
performance issues resulting from sensory modulation, sensory integration, motor,
and psychosocial deficits in adults experiencing difficulties with sensory functions.
They work with caregivers and medical, educational, and mental health
professionals to increase awareness of the signs and symptoms of sensory-related
problems and types of interventions used with adults. Occupational therapy
services are offered through consultation, individual therapy sessions, and/or group
therapy in settings such as private, hospital, or community-based outpatient clinics;
residential and day programs; acute and longterm-care hospitals; state hospitals;
forensic facilities; skilled nursing facilities; rehabilitation centers; and military-based
programs, such as Veterans Administration hospitals and clinics. Occupational
therapy services provided for adults experiencing problems processing and
integrating sensations often use the principles of Ayres Sensory Integration®;
however, specific approaches vary greatly depending on the person’s needs and
may include the following (Sensory Integration Global Network, n.d.):
• Remedial Intervention involving the skilled use of sensory and motor
treatment activities and equipment, including engagement in activities that provide
increased tactile, proprioceptive, and movement opportunities, such as suspended
equipment (e.g., various swings); intensified physical activities, engagement in
mediated tactile experiences (e.g., cooking, massagers); and activities that
promote motor planning, organization of time and space, bilateral integration, and
postural-ocular skills.
• Accommodations and Adaptations such as wearing ear plugs or noise
cancelling headphones, or using a loofa sponge when showering, to manage hyper
sensitivities and improve attention, self-regulation, or organizational difficulties to
increase effectiveness in performing school, work, household management, or
parenting tasks.
• Sensory Diet Programs involving a daily routine/plan with a menu of
individualized, supportive sensory strategies (e.g., rocking chair, quiet space,
aromatherapy, weighted blanket), identified physical activities (e.g., yoga,
swimming) and materials (e.g., sensory kits containing music, stress balls, items
for distraction). These are used throughout the day, as needed to help manage
sensory modulation problems (e.g., touch, movement, visual or auditory sensitivity)
and related emotions and behaviors, such as anxiety or self-injury, to help change
sensory processing patterns, minimize crisis escalation, or promote calming for
overall health and wellness (Champagne, 2010)
. • Environmental Modifications and adaptations such as lighting, use of
white noise machines, wall murals, and other types of furnishings and equipment to

©Dalys Tamayo, M.A.ELT, MAppLing Página 12


increase or decrease the sensory stimulation a space provides. In some settings,
sensory rooms, sensory stations, or sensory carts may be used to achieve these
goals.
• Education of individuals, family members, caregivers, administrators, and
policymakers about the influence of sensory functions on occupational
performance and how to minimize their negative impact on function; proactively
help prevent and deescalate maladaptive behaviors; and, in some settings,
decrease the need for seclusion or restraint.
Conclusion Occupational therapy plays a vital role in identifying and treating
sensory integration problems in adults and supporting their ability to fully
participate in meaningful life roles, routines, and important daily activities.
Administrators and organizations benefit from working with occupational therapy
practitioners to enrich the services offered to adults.

MODULE 2

Listening to Lectures and Oral Communication

SOME LISTENING TIPS

 Do not upset if you don't understand something in speech.


 The main thing you have to pay attention to is key words (words are stressed).
 Take body language, gestures, and facial expressions into consideration when
listening.
 English words are often shortened by native speakers. So, do not try to understand
each sound.
 Listen to intonation of the speaker. This will help to understand what is more important.
 Listen to songs in English; it helps get the rhythm of the language.
 Use closed captioning when watching English-language TV and videotapes. First listen
and read the dialogue at the same time, then listen again without reading.
 Do not translate into your native language.
 Listen to something you enjoy.
 Listening requires a great amount of practice and patience.

SOME SPEAKING TIPS

 Enunciate clearly, use correct sentence structure and express your views
throughout a rich assortment of words and expressions.
 Be patient when pronouncing new words. If you make a regular mistake in
pronunciation, record the right pronunciation of that word and listen repeatedly to
make it familiar for you.
 You can read the short stories in the language you are learning.
 Speaking to yourself in a foreign language is extremely effective for your learning.

MODULE 3

Technical Written Communication

Effective note taking is a great way to improve your


grades. It is important to find a method of note taking
that works for you. Here are some things you should
consider before taking notes.

1. Do not write every single word the lecturer says. Write the key concepts
(nouns,verbs)

• 2. Avoid distractions, concentrate yourself when taking notes.

3. Outline the information as the lecturer talks.Mark in your notes when a new
topic starts. Identify the sub categories as it is addressed

4. Write down any terms or concepts which are new or unfamiliar to you. They
should be written down separately to avoid confusion. Look up these terms in
a dictionary after lecturing.

5. Use abbreviations or symbols to save time and be more effective. Some of


the symbols and abbreviations are shown here.

WRITING ABSTRACTS

An Abstract is a short document that is


intended to capture the interest of a potential
reader of your paper. Thus in a sense it is a
marketing document for your full paper. If the
Abstract is poorly written or if it is boring then it
will not encourage a potential reader to spend
the time reading your work.

THE STRUCTURE OF AN ABSTRACT

1. On the first line of the abstract page, center the word “Abstract” (no bold,
formatting, italics, underlining, or quotation marks).

2. Beginning with the next line, write a concise summary of the key points
(main ideas) :
 Introduction: In this study, we observed/noticed/ experienced
the… This research is aimed to, the purpose of this study is…
 important details: methods…The study uses…, The phases in
this study involve…
 Concluding sentence: Final results, findings, reflections…(will)
3. Font: Times New Roman- Size: 12, double space 150 words (numbered
words)

Key words(nouns) or phrases are used


by Internet search engines to locate the
paper. Somewhere between 5 and 10
Key Words are normally required and
they should be the words which most
closely reflect the content of the paper.
Key words are italicized
