EVERYONE'S DOING THEM!
If you search the internet you will discover that workshops are a teaching opportunity that isn't focused on marketing, whereas webinars are built to teach and sell at the same time. It's a lot more about training and learning than it is about selling, but there will always be a pitch at the end of a webinar.

Then there are seminars...
An in-person seminar is more or less dependent on attendees' ability to physically attend the event, so there haven't been many of them during the Covid-19 pandemic, which has been problematic for some businesses but it has gone some way towards reducing carbon footprints.

Wikipedia has defined these 2 event types individually:

A seminar is ‘a meeting held for the exchange of useful information by members of a common business community.’

A webinar is 'an interactive seminar conducted via the World Wide Web. Usually a live presentation, lecture, or workshop that happens in real-time, as users participate through chatting, video-chatting, file-sharing, or asking questions with a microphone.’

Time for a masterclass!
Workshops progress from theory to practice, with a focus on grasping key tools or skills. Masterclasses are specialized classes in which students attain their learning objectives via in-depth practice and thorough guidance.

Welcome back to OET Roleplay Practice with Kevin, The English Native – your go-to podcast for OET Speaking test preparation and practical English for healthcare professionals.

In this episode, we dive into a realistic OET Medicine roleplay:
👉 A doctor–parent consultation after a child’s recent asthma diagnosis.

You’ll learn how to:

Build rapport and empathy with the parent.

Ask clear, structured clinical history questions.

Explain asthma triggers, inhaler use, and lifestyle adjustments.

Give practical management advice in simple, patient-friendly English.

🩺 Why This Roleplay Matters

In the OET Speaking sub-test, you’ll often face scenarios where you must explain conditions, reassure patients, and give health advice. This asthma management consultation is a common exam theme – so practising it can boost your confidence and fluency.

This roleplay focuses on:

Exploring concerns (“How are you feeling about the diagnosis?”)

Explaining clearly (“Asthma is a long-term condition where…”)

Checking understanding (“Does that make sense so far?”)

Collaborating on a plan (“Would you like me to go over some tips for reducing triggers?”)

🧑‍⚕️ Practise Along

Here’s how to get the most from this episode:

Listen once without the transcript – test your comprehension.
