English for midwives

English for Midwives is a practical and communicative guide designed to help midwifery students and professionals develop the English skills needed in maternal and healthcare settings. The book focuses on real-life communication used by midwives when interacting with patients, families, and other healthcare workers. This book covers essential topics such as antenatal care, labor and delivery, postnatal care, family planning, and newborn health. Each unit introduces relevant vocabulary, common expressions, and functional language that midwives need in daily practice. Dialogues, role-plays, and case-based activities are included to support speaking, listening, reading, and writing skills. In addition, the book foregrounds the importance of intercultural competence and patient-centered communication, enabling learners to engage effectively with diverse patient populations. It also emphasizes pragmatic aspects of language use, such as politeness strategies, empathy, and clarity in healthcare communication. By adopting a communicative and learner-centered approach, English for Midwives aims to equip learners with the linguistic and professional competencies required for safe, effective, and ethical midwifery practice in both local and international contexts.
