COURSE TITLE : Scientific English

Course unit content: "I am confident that children absorb information much better than adults. Thus, trilingual education is the necessity for our children. They are children of the modern world, they need to speak the state language, the Russian language which is the language of our communication and the English language that is the world language now, the language of science, innovations and the Internet," N. Nazarbayev said.

According to him, introduction of the trilingual education system within the framework of the secondary school education is a form of preparation of children for the future. Clearly the students need to develop their language proficiency sufficiently to enable them to undertake studies at university level and to be able to function adequately in the language. The major purpose of this course is to develop the learners' knowledge of nature of science in English learning process during the unit. This entails an evaluation by the Teachers of the language skills and study skills necessary and assigning priorities to them. To take one example: students following the one-month course attend an average of 1 hours of lectures a week, 3-4 hours of seminars and tutorials and are required to write1 essay a term (average length 50- 75words). At the end of course they take a written examination.

This would suggest that the students need to practice listening to lectures, taking notes, writing continuously and taking part in discussions. Further evidence for selecting the lecture situation as a useful area for practice is provided by several pieces of research that have been conducted for post- graduate degrees at the universities. In particular, informal lectures containing colloquial language are cited as situations of great difficulty for understanding. For example, we include a 'survival English' component which largely consists of course opportunities for seminar discussions and giving short talks. Undesirable though it may be, it is possible for a student to pursue his course of studies uttering hardly a word; it is not possible to ignore the use of listening and writing.

Keywords: Content and language integrated learning (CLIL), English language learning, nature of science, foreign language learning, language learning. Task Based Language Learning (TBLL), Content Based Language Instruction (CBI)

1. Introduction

CLIL stands for Content and Language Integrated Learning; it refers to teaching subjects (such as science, history and geography) to students through a foreign language. An English teacher uses cross-curricular content (or the subject teacher uses English as the language of instruction) in CLIL. Both methods result in the simultaneous learning of content and English. The term CLIL was used in 1994 by David Marsh, University of Jyväskylä, "CLIL refers to situations where subjects, or parts of subjects, are taught through a foreign language with dualfocused aims, namely the learning of content and the simultaneous learning of a foreign language". And, there was a heap of data pile which was derived from classroom interaction at the University of Jyväskylä, which contains video recordings of EFL and CLIL classrooms as well as subject lessons taught in Finnish. Indeed, foreign language teachers already have been using CLIL methodology for many years in foreign language teaching. For example, when we teach the vocabulary of the animals, fruits, countries, capital and cities, we use CLIL. We combine other fields of the course when we teach English as foreign language teachers.

In addition, "How much foreign language exposure do students get?" is very important in CLIL. The intensity of foreign language circulation may vary in the use of the target language. Learning is not a passive process where learner creates; thus a learner is active and he/she is major player in the learning process. CLIL is very compatibl with this process and student can combine their nature of science knowledge (i.e. different fields of knowledge) in CLIL. Also, learner is effective and has a positive attitude on language learning process when CLIL is used.

CLIL programs may be short-term or long-term, ranging from a sequence of lessons spanning a few weeks to entire school years and to entire school-careers. The main importance and significance of the study were to find out if CLIL helps language learners during language learning process. This research aims to know whether the learners' knowledge of nature of science in English learning process

during the unit: Success Stories: A Living Scientist according to CLIL or not. The major purpose of this research was to examine the learners' knowledge of nature of science in English learning process during the unit: A Living Scientist according to content and language integrated learning (CLIL). The following question has been sought to answer in this frame:

1) Are there any differences in the learners' use of knowledge of nature of science in English learning process during unit 9: A Living Scientist according to content and language integrated learning (CLIL), Content Based Language Instruction (CBI), Task Based Language Learning (TBLL).

2. Theoretical Approaches to CLIL and Second & Foreign Language Learning

Snow (1998) pointed out the conceptual background of CLIL and CBI (Content Based Instruction). CLIL was grouped into input-output theories and participation-based theories in language learning environment. Krashen (1981, 1982, and 1985) stated the most widely known reception-based theory of language acquisition is Krashen's Monitor Model in which the concept of Comprehensible Input plays a key role. The basic idea of the model is that if the language learner is exposed to input, which is comprehensible either because of the context, in which it occurs or through intentional simplification (child-directed speech, foreigner talk), acquisition will occur, especially if the learning situation is characterized by positive emotions (Affective Filter). Krashen stresses that optimal comprehensible input is not grammatically sequenced but first and foremost focused on meaning (Dalton-Puffer, 2007). Krashen's theory is firmly linked with approaches of Chomsky to second or foreign language acquisition with emphasis on seeing the language learner essentially as self-contained language processor and grammar builder. According to Krashen & Terrel (1983) in this sense, the idea of CLIL with its emphasis on the meanings provided by the content subject seemed to finally answer the description of a truly Natural Approach

where language acquisition could run its course 'naturally' under meaningful and affectively positive conditions (Dalton-Puffer, 2007).

3. Content Based Language Instruction (CBI)

CBI is designed to provide second-language learners instruction in content and language. The CBI approach can be comparable to English for Specific Purposes (ESP), English for Professional Purposes (EPP) or English for Academic Purposes (EAP). The main objective of CBI is acquiring the language within the specific context of any academic subject matter.

There are many advantages of CBI: being involved in studying interesting and stimulating content, students learn language automatically without much effort; making connections between the language and their prior knowledge, students learn useful vocabulary within relevant context thus getting a fuller picture of the subject. Additionally, CBI approach suggests great flexibility and adaptability of the courses to satisfy particular students needs. And finally, delivering complex information in real life situations increases students' motivation as they feel close links between their studies and future professional activity.

4. Task Based Language Learning (TBLL)

Task-based language learning (TBLL), also known as task-based language teaching (TBLT) or task-based instruction (TBI) focuses on the use of authentic language and on asking students to do meaningful tasks using the target language.

In the book 'A Framework for Task-Based Learning' J. Willis (1996) defines a task as an activity when the target language is used by the learner with a communicative objective to achieve the desired outcome. As a result assessment of the task is primarily based on task outcome rather than on accuracy of the language. This makes TBLL especially popular for developing foreign language fluency and student confidence thus destroying psychologicalbarriers and eliminating a fear of making a mistake. TBLL has world-wide support in the teaching community as it offers a great deal of flexibility, wide range of open-ended stimulating tasks (case studies, problem-solving tasks, role-plays, listening and reading exercises for further discussion, presentations, negotiations, etc.) and invariably promotes students' autonomy.

5. The course objective.

Nature of Science vision is based that "All citizens should be science literate" in the formal curriculum on science course (lessons). This vision was started in 2004; students use scientific knowledge for their personal and social basic element of understanding -STS (Science-Technology-Society) that is one of the dimensions (Lederman,2004). The nature of science brings various science areas such as history, sociology, psychology and philosophy and, it consists of answers to questions such as " What is science?", "How does it work?", " How does scientists study?", "What is the impact of social and cultural ties on science?" (Mc Comas & Olson, 2000). Giddings (1982), Lederman (1983), Cleminson (1990), Ryon & Aikenhead (1992) had access to some common basic views about the nature of science. These are classified in 5 main categories: scientific knowledge, scientific methods, in Nature of Science vision. This course is aimed to have a notion about the object and scope of activities of specialist in scientific affairs, to explore nature and definition, approaches and basic categories, to understand and be able to use the theoretical knowledge and practical abilities for the analysis of the text and situations.

Step 1: Determine Your Areas of Interest. What is a specialization?

A specialization is also known as a major. By the end of first term, every student must choose a specific area of study. They'll complete courses within that area of study. As a first-year student planning your timetable, consider areas of interest (potential specializations) and build your timetable based on pre-requisites needed for your intended specialization. Be sure to read the related and important information.

What are the common features of all of these seemingly disparate courses? First of all, all the courses focus on developing reading skills. In fact, Robinson (1991) concedes that reading is probably the most needed skill in EAP and Fishman (1977) also states that reading is vital when studying in a university where the medium of instruction is English. Although other skills, particularly speaking and writing, could also be developed but usually only nominal emphasis is paid to them. Grammar could also be taught but it is usually in relation to certain features that arise from the exploitation of the reading passages. Second, the students spend 4 hours (divided to two 1-hour session) each week for a duration of 34-weeks which means that the students have a minimum of 34 hours of class instruction. Third, to assess students' performance in the course, on-going assessments and summative assessment (final exam) are used. One of the on-going assessment components is a project that requires students to use some of the skills learnt

Background: To expose our students to new challenges and facilitate students' self-study and self-directed learning when the role of the EPP teacher is more shifted to that of a motivator we suggest: giving first priority to such training activities that develop critical thinking, most of which being centered around task-based learning to enhance competence-based approach; making obligatory for the students to choose themes for their interactive presentations in EPP classroom connected with their exit research paper and include information from it;

The primary aims of these courses are

(1) to equip them with academic study skills so that they can access reference materials and resources in English

(2) to introduce them to the terminologies, sentence and organizational structures and discourse types that are commonly used in their discipline

(3) to upgrade their general English proficiency

(4) to train them in specific English skills that are relevant for the workplace.

Depending on the perceived importance of specific skills to a particular faculty, the emphasis given to each of the aims differs. The skill that is considered the most important for most faculties is academic reading skills. This is because it is the skills that students need immediately so that they could access the readings in their reference list which are mainly in English.

Learner's outcomes: At the end of the course, students will: 1. have a notion about the nature and it's development; 2. master skills in searching and interpreting information in three languages; 3. to master skills of analysis of the information; 4. to develop abilities to determine interaction between science and natural events.
