Through experimentation and research, he discovered that for any subject there was a list of essential words, that, when mastered, unlocked a student's ability to progress in the subject. Lewis called this set of vocabulary the "Insider's Words". When he applied these "Insider's Words" the results were incredible. His students began to learn with ease.

Book Medical Terminology Systems

Download or read book Medical Terminology Systems written by Barbara A. Gylys and published by F. A. Davis Company. This book was released on 2009 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The perfect length for any course, this exceptional full-color, highly illustrated text/workbook uses a body system organization to focus on word building. This beautifully designed visual text combined with the audio CD, TermPlus 3.0, and student and instructor online tools is a unique learning package that's a true blend of words, art, and technology. Word Building--the foundation for success begins with Barbara Gylys and the Body Systems Approach. The med term approaches and how they differ... Most med terms books teach by memorization--the whole word approach. Memorize vocabulary and then try to recognize word patterns. Gylys uses the word-building approach. First learn the patterns of medical words before you learn the vocabulary. Why does word-building work? It begins with the basics... Gylys takes a common sense approach, by introducing word elements first: Roots Combining forms Suffixes Prefixes She covers them one by one, breaking down each word part. Common English word elements are presented... This familiarity makes it easier for students to learn and break apart and build words. Students can use their understanding of word parts to decipher vocabulary. Mnemonic devices, interactive activities (in the book and on the CD) make word-building fun and this in turn increases retention...no more tedious memorization, students learn by breaking down and rebuilding words! "From my years of teaching, I found it was much easier for students to learn word parts directly associated with a body system (or specialty area), and this has been the key to my approach in all of my texts and software products." --Barbara A. Gylys

Book Medical Language Accelerated

Download or read book Medical Language Accelerated written by Andrew Cavanagh and published by McGraw-Hill Education. This book was released on 2020-01-21 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Medical Language Accelerated approaches medical terminology not as words to be memorized but as a language to be learned. If you treat medical terminology as a language and learn how to read terms like sentences, you will be able to communicate clearly as a health care professional and will be a full participant in the culture of medicine. Memorizing definitions is equal to a traveler memorizing a few phrases in another language to help during a brief vacation: It will help a traveler survive for a few days. But if one is going to live in another culture for an extended period of time, learning to speak and understand the language becomes essential.
