Hi, my name is Terri Massin and I'm the instructor of City College's ESL 20, 23 and 26 courses which are also taught as noncredit ESLV 3842, 3843 and 3844. These classes are also called English for Health Communication and Careers. They are taught at the Downtown Campus on Tuesdays and Thursdays 12:00-2:30.

Please enjoy this blog. It's a place where I post articles, videos, websites for assignments, information about volunteering, help with pronunciation and vocabulary. Most of the information is for people who want to work in the health care field, but some of it is just helpful for anyone interested in health.

It would be FABULOUS if you wrote comments when you look at the blog. Then I know that people are reading and using the blog. You can sign in as Anonymous, but then at the end of your comment, please write your name (the one I call you in class) and which class (if any) you're in. THANKS A LOT!
Terri
