The reasons why Science in English is not focused

ITT – Science is interesting, especially when it is learned in English which can encourage curiosity and expand visions. However, as Science in English is quite difficult to learn, the subject is not focused. What are the other reasons?

The advancement of sciences and technology is the criteria to evaluate the development of a country. In the period when world integration is a trend, scientific cooperation is the crucial factor which promotes country’s development. Sciences in English is also included in international programs to bring huge benefits.

Nowadays, at international schools, Science international programs have been being taught and brought to a level approaching closer to the real world which leads to the needs of parents wanting to send enroll children for these programs. However, in our country, Sciences is still not being focused to develop, and the first obstacle is the communicative English skills of students to learn it in English. In addition, there are other obstacles which make focusing on the subject hardly possible and make students learning it efficiently.

The perception in which Math, Physics, Chemistry are the main subjects has been in the mind of the majority of students. Many who have interest in Science in English still not focus on learning the subject as they think that it is not important. Moreover, even though the subject is being taught early since elementary level, a few international schools do not have the teaching and training methods that can trigger the interest and passion of students for the subject.

The English skills of students are not stable, strong and have various holes have made absorbing the knowledge of the subject in English difficult. The foreign language skills of most students in general are not enough to approach Science. The quality and level of most teachers in many schools sometimes are not high. In order to teach subjects in English, especially natural sciences subjects, teachers are required to have advanced academic English skills and lots of teaching experience, not to mention the programs being followed are designed for international students who have learning and working plans abroad.
