Proposed scenario:

C. Two parents are planning to live abroad with their two children in one years, and they are
looking for an English Tutor who can help their son and daughter of 12 years old to have a
smoother transition to a science class. These two children have gone to a bilingual school for 2
years, but for some reason the science teacher talked more in Spanish than in English during his
class, and for this reason the children were not familiarized with enough English vocabulary on
science topics. Their parents want their children to learn and master the science vocabulary used for
6th and 7th grade. The children are pretty good at learning English, but do not understand the
specific vocabulary quite well.

Course description

It is about the learning of the two children who are new in a new country, where they have
presented somewhat low skills for a certain way, in the present work there will be courses that can
improve their skills, so that they can be in a calmer environment.

Course objective

It is to generate a means for these two children to improve their skills in class time, as in this case it
is science time, which can range from writing to Reading.

Specific objectives

 Writing classes
 Listening classes to explore that side of science
 Meetings with parents to see progress
 Dynamic and somewhat fun activities

 To start with short courses, it is very
helpful to watch a video of "Aquimia,
Magic, or Science.

what they have understood
 Draw conclusions and expose them.
 Reading the book National Geographic
Little Kids First Big Book of the
World (National Geographic)
 Write the words that are not
understood
 The private tutor, or young people in
their spare time, can use applications
such as educaplay, where they can find
all kinds of activities
 Read a book related to science as
mentioned in the previous chapter
 Make a 5 minute presentation where
your progress is demonstrated
 Alphabet soup, cloud of ideas.
 Summer classes to reinforce practice
