This research looks at not only the problems that science teachers have with engaging students in science and bringing theory and practice together, but it also takes into account the linguistics. In school I was less than engaged in science classes but if teachers could make the language more accessible to students then they could possibly make science more accessible too.
The article discusses the implications of bilingual education. AS an EFL teacher and having studied other language, the idea of including second language learning within another class and subject is quite foreign to me. However, I think it is a really interesting idea as students can either learn a language or compliment their current language class by using language in a real life situation.
