ESP - Adapting a US High School Science Textbook for the Classroom

Saturday, July 22nd, 2006, 2:00 PM - 4:00 PM

Speaker: Stephen Shucart

This is a talk on how Shucart adapted a high school science textbook for the language classroom based on Neal Anderson's Active Reading series. This talk is a follow-up on his original presentation, which was given before the classes had actually begun. This talk presents the students' reactions to the classes, plus improvements that have been added, including listening to science essays on an iPod nano.
