| description | This article describes the process followed to design an English syllabus with emphasis on chemistry. It was focused on 10th grade students as they started a connection with a program named “Chemical Samples Analysis”. In that attempt, esp (English for Specific Purposes) and creative thinking theories were taken into account. A students’ questionnaire, teacher’s audio-taped interviews and a teacher researcher journal comprised data for the research. It was found that the English class needs to be reorganized by taking into account students’ needs and interest and by integrating the four language skills. This way the English language process can become more meaningful. |
