In most ESL classrooms, science is not taught. There are many reasons for this. Time is usually spent on grammar, life skills and the fours language skills. Many think that science is too difficult to teach in a limited English classroom, however, I believe that simple experiements using the five senses can improve students' speaking and writing. I hope to accomplish many different things using this curriculum.
All people learn differently.
Some hear or say something and know it, others read or write something and know it. Many people use a combination of these. The students who learn through kinesthetic means are often left behind in the adult ESL classroom because many lessons do not include any physical movement or action. This type of teaching is often used with children, but not adults. We don't want to insult our students, therefore we try to use an adult approach in our teaching.
