Basic English Skills: Health & Wellness

This UC Davis course uses familiar health topics as material for language practice. Reading and listening lead into speaking and writing, with grammar introduced in context. It is an English-skills course rather than training in healthcare or a source of individual medical advice.

What you will learn

• Read simple health-related English texts.
• Practice listening and speaking about familiar topics.
• Write short statements using the taught grammar.

Who this suits

Beginners who want English practice through a consistent everyday topic.

Before you enroll

The teaching language is English, so preview the explanations as well as the exercises. Course completion does not establish a particular proficiency score. Leave time for speaking and writing practice with feedback beyond watching the videos.

Coursera offers paid enrollment or subscription access. Check the enrollment screen for assessment and certificate terms, trials and any financial-aid options. Provider access terms can change; review them before paying.

Put it into practice

Write a fictional conversation about a routine appointment and check whether the wording communicates the intended question clearly.
