Dementia in a non-Dementia World: Communication and Cognition

من 242.56 SAR /س

Dementia is a disease of the brain that is both progressive and debilitating. It is caused by diverse illnesses of the brain and, depending on what part of the brain is effected, the disease in turn determines which emotional, psychological and physical difficulties people living with dementia (PLWD) may present. This course offers insight in the how dementia affects a person's cognition and communication. It offers knowledge of various types of dementia and their related cognitive challenges from a neuroscience perspective: affecting a person's senses, speech, communication and learning processes.

It has been widely documented that PLWD have specific communication needs, dependent on their individual diagnoses, and further that carers’ and health professional's awareness and understanding of the brain and its functions often falls outside the remit of their generic training. However, an understanding of the dementia brain is important to supporting the PLWD because the disease resides in the brain and can affect the entire body.

Communication is an integral core human need: the everyday activity of talk bonds people together. The ability to express one's emotions coherently and to others, make decisions, and generate and share ideas is essential to feeling part of both the local community and wider society. Whilst communication is free, there are however cost implications for communication work undertaken in dementia and indeed all health and social care settings, by virtue of the allocation of time necessary to facilitate communicating with those living with dementia on a daily, hour to hour basis. Increasing concerns have identified the inefficacy and impracticality of applying a universal, ‘one size fits all’ pathway to the care and support needs of those with dementia. This course provides knowledge, skills and strategies to communicate effectively with PLWD.

Language, pragmatics and semantic difficulties are unobserved until later in the dementia disease, as opposed to early onset signs and symptoms presented in a range of different types of dementia: for example, confusion and memory difficulties. Examples can be seen in the case of Alzheimer’s disease, where the instance of PLWD trying to find the right words is common, frequently impacting on their ability to find the right words to enable them to enunciate and communicate simple everyday needs. These words are generally high frequency words such as ‘comb’, ‘brush’ and' ‘bread’, which can be replaced by words such as ‘thingy’ and ‘stuff’; once again this is often associated with the normal ageing process but it is the ever-deceasing ability to communicate as the dementia disease progresses. This course will helps students understand language, pragmatic and semantic difficulties presented in PLWD.

University English Instructor| Started teaching English 9 years ago| Specializing in Conversational English.

My teaching approach is designed to develop communication skills above all. We watch or read materials, such as videos, articles, stories, poems, caricatures, then discuss them; we act out situations from everyday life; we take positions and practice debates. However, this doesn’t mean that we just practice speaking. I also make sure the learner is not running in circles. I’m here to ensure that they do not keep repeating the same mistakes or keep using the same expressions over and over in conversation.
In order to keep making progress, I take my student on a journey that involves:
• Improving their grammar.
• Fixing their pronunciation.
• Enriching their vocabulary by learning to use new words and common idioms.
By the end of this course, you should be able to speak English fluently and confidently.

PS: Because of my academic specialty, I also help with academic writing and creative writing.

Want to understand and speak real Moroccan Arabic (Darija)?

This course is designed specifically for English speakers who want to communicate confidently in Morocco — whether for travel, relocation, business, relationships, or cultural interest.

Darija is very different from Classical Arabic, and most textbooks don’t teach how Moroccans actually speak. In this class, you will learn authentic, practical Darija used in daily life.

You will learn how to:

• Introduce yourself naturally
• Order food, take taxis, shop and negotiate
• Handle everyday conversations
• Understand common expressions and slang
• Improve pronunciation step by step
• Build sentences correctly without feeling overwhelmed
• Understand Moroccan culture and communication style

My method is structured but practical. We focus on real conversations from the first lesson. You won’t just memorize — you will speak.

Lessons are personalized to your goals and level. Complete beginners are welcome.

By the end of your first sessions, you’ll already be able to hold simple real-life conversations.

Let’s make Darija simple, practical and enjoyable.

This course provides a comprehensive understanding of human physiology through an integrated, systems-based approach that connects cellular mechanisms to whole-body function. It focuses on how organ systems maintain homeostasis, adapt to physiological stress, and interact dynamically to support normal health.

Core topics include membrane transport, electrophysiology, and cellular signaling, followed by detailed exploration of the cardiovascular, respiratory, renal, gastrointestinal, endocrine, and nervous systems. Emphasis is placed on regulatory mechanisms such as neural control, hormonal modulation, feedback loops, and fluid–electrolyte balance. Students will analyze physiological responses to exercise, disease states, and environmental challenges, developing the ability to interpret functional changes rather than memorize isolated facts.

The course highlights mechanistic reasoning, enabling learners to understand how physiological principles explain clinical findings such as blood pressure regulation, acid–base balance, oxygen transport, and neurohumoral coordination. By integrating foundational science with applied examples, students gain a durable framework for advanced study in medicine, biomedical sciences, and allied health disciplines, while strengthening analytical thinking and problem-solving skills essential for clinical reasoning.
