Topic outline

  • General

    In unit 1, discovering cleaner energy sources to power the world, we will look at alternative energy sources. 

    Our language goals are summarizing main ideas in a text, and using modals for suggestions.

    Our content goals are learning about the science behind renewable energy sources, such as wind, solar, and hydroelectric power.

    Finally, in unit 2, what might the future hold? We look at both nanotechnology and the scientific community.

    Our language goals are using modal verbs to discuss future probability, and how to cite sources in research. 

    Our content goals are understanding the role of nanotechnology in reducing climate change,

    Highlighted

    Welcome to Unit 1 of the English course! More and more governments and corporations are funding engineers to create and build new energy systems that can limit the effects of climate change. Many of these energy systems come from renewable energy sources, such as, wind, solar (sun), and hydroelectric (water) power. In this unit, you will explore the science behind these systems. You will also learn how to summarize the main ideas of readings and how to use modal verbs to make a suggestion.

  • UNIT 01/PART I: Going Green : The Rise of Renewable Energy

    renewable_energy_industries-66e3ac.webp

    • In this video, we're going to talk about some new technologies. We'll start by looking at the different types of renewable energy. Then we'll look at some of their advantages and challenges of each. Finally, we'll introduce some advances in technology that may help increase the use of renewable energy in the future.

    • Hello, in the previous video, you looked at the rise of renewable energy.

      In this video, we're going to take a closer look at some of the most common renewable energy sources, sun, wind and water.

      We'll look at the technologies, how they produce energy, and look at the advantages and disadvantages of each one.

    • Hello. In part one of this language focus video, we're going to learn how to summarize a text. To understand how to summarize a text we first must learn what kind of information to include in a summary.

    • Hello, in the previous video, part one of this language focus, we learned how to identify the main idea of a text. And find key points or important details to support that main idea.

      In this video, we will learn how to write a summary paragraph. We will learn about the main elements of a good summary paragraph which includes a topic sentence, key supporting details, and a conclusion.

  • Overview of the Unit 02: what might the future hold?

    Welcome to Unit 02 of the English courses! In this unit, you will investigate practical advances in Nanotechnology that help slow down climate change. An example of this is turning light into heat. You will also learn how the scientific community works together to create new discoveries through expert interviews and readings. Lastly, you will develop your own research skills by learning how to choose good sources and cite them in your research.
