| | Content-based Education
for ALL English Language Learners
First of all...
What in
the world is 'content-based
education' ?!
ANSWER: The idea of 'content-based education' is that
students
can learn a language by studying (or
learning) subjects (or topics) of interest in the target language,
such as the ones below.
[And this is perhaps the BEST way to learn a language,
because the student doesn't know he/she is learning!]
Students and Parents:
Choose a topic that interests you and go have
fun learning!
