Connecting Language to Other Subjects
Aligned to ACTFL Connections — ACTFL World-Readiness Standards.
What this lesson teaches
You can use the language to actually learn other subjects, such as reading a short science or history text, exploring geography, or solving math problems in the language. Learning content this way deepens both your knowledge and your language at the same time, the way immersion programs do.
Worked example
Studying ancient history, you might read a short Spanish text about 'los aztecas' and learn both new history facts and new vocabulary together.
Practice questions
- Name a subject you could study using another language.
- Why does learning content in a language help your language grow?
- What topic from your schoolwork would you read about in the language?
