Abstract

For the last year and a half I have attempted to teach science students how to read English. These students are of varied linguistic and educational backgrounds with varying degrees of reading abilities. I have sometimes experienced a certain amount of frustration or uncertainty when trying to present material which could be of future use to my students in their fields. It seems to me that if they are not exposed to certain types of readings containing the vocabulary, the structures, and the concepts they will need to know, then the reading curriculum has not met their needs. I have then decided that the best way to be of more help to my students would be to do some research in the field. Perhaps, if I were more acquainted with this specialized field I would be able to furnish my students with reading material that would be a great deal more related to their interests and reading ability.
