Note: This worksheet has been developed especially for subject teaching in English and for language-sensitive subject teaching. It uses the reading strategy methodology tool developed by Josef Leisen and Heinz Klippert. A reading strategy is a sequence or a timetable of mental events with which a particular reading objective is to be achieved (source: Bimmel, 2002). Reading strategies help the students to better understand technical texts and work independently with them.
Students whose native language is not English and who do not have strong English skills receive support and training in understanding the technical vocabulary. They work with the specialized vocabulary and in this way acquire the ability to communicate about specific subjects.
