SCOPE OF WORK
Title: English course on Epidemiology and Public Health terms for Field Epidemiology Training (FET) course.
Contractual Arrangements: 12 months (1 June 2019 to 30 May 2020) contract with National Center for Laboratory
and Epidemiology (NCLE), Ministry of Health (MoH).
Scope: To develop the FET students ’ grammar, vocabulary, speaking, listening, reading and writing to equip them to
communicate in English in their epidemiology work, research, and report presentations. The contractor will provide the
following: 1) Cclassroom instruction which is included the terminology in English of their FET Modules and field work,
like for Public Health and Epidemiology. Most of the lessons will be face-to-face classroom sessions with individual,
paired and group practice for the course texts. However, the workbook exercises, online practice resource and the self-
assessment pages provide for better motivation for supplementary learning at the trainees’ own time. Exercise answers
can be checked online while assignments can be submitted via email. In the final project presentation phase, one-on-
one assistance as well as editorial assistance over email will be given for the translations of presentations. This and
future cohorts may also see greater involvement of the English teacher(s) through intensive English practice, and closer
coordination with course organizers and face-to-face updates on the trainees’ progress; and 2) Course Assessment
which is to help motivate the trainees in their English learning, the English grade could count towards their FET course
assessment. For the English component of the course, the trainees could be assessed in their attendance, assignments,
reading, speaking, listening, writing and class participation. The requirement for attendance could be 85% while the
requirement for the other scores in an aggregate figure could be 75%. Trainees who do not meet these requirements
may have to retake tests. Updates on the trainees’ progress can be submitted every quarter, after three units of the
course book. This will include the technical report to be submitted at the end of each contract period before payment is
effected. This report may also be made face-to-face at course review meetings with the coordinators, supervisors and
trainees.
Location of Work:
Managed by National Center for Laboratory and Epidemiology (NCLE), MoH.
