Blanchard, B.; Masserot, V.; Holbrook, J. – Science Education International, 2014
School subjects can provide a good context for learning a second language. This is especially true for science as it can involve a range of student centred activities, which involve students in collaborative communication related to a range of different competences. This paper reflects on one approach to learning in a second language, using the…
