Selena's anatomy

Research shows that learning is most effective in context. That's why we've chosen to use the narrative of a Spanish nurse, Selena, and her co-workers at “Sentrum sykehus”, together with real-life cases, authentic dialogues and articles, to provide our students insight into Norwegian language, work culture, and communication techniques.

The story follows our main character Selena, who has moved from Spain to Norway to work as a nurse at Sentrum Hospital. She lives in a shared apartment with a Norwegian nurse, Hilde, and an Italian pharmacist, Mario. How is working life at the hospital? How will Selena handle the challenges she faces in both her professional and personal life? The students follows Selena and her colleagues through their busy and sometimes dramatic daily lives at Sentrum Hospital.

Learning a second language through narratives can be a great way to improve language skills. It provides contextual learning, engaging and memorable content, and exposure to authentic language use. By following an interesting story with realistic dialogues and characters, learners can improve their ability to communicate effectively in real-life situations.
