Description
Language and Literacy in Science Education by Jerry Wellington and Jonathan Osborne explores the challenges of teaching scientific language to secondary school students. Every science lesson is a language lesson, yet many students struggle with understanding and using scientific vocabulary. This accessible book examines practical ways to improve students' retention, reading, speaking, and writing skills in scientific language. By addressing the main difficulties in the language of science, educators can enhance their teaching methods and help students achieve better outcomes in science education.
