TOPICALIZING LANGUAGE LEARNING IN ESL CLASSES

Abstract

The study outlines the strategy for effective topicalizing of teaching material, and motivating graduate students in the language learning process, with a specific focus on the pivotal role of instructional materials in ESL classes. It is posited that the integration of intricate texts from narrow-specialized fields can serve a dual purpose: facilitating the teaching of linguistic fundamentals, at the same time stimulating meaningful discussions on professional topics. Based on extracts from W. Heisenberg’s seminal work “Physics and Philosophy. The Revolution in Modern Science” it is demonstrated that by weaving these elements together educators can cultivate a learning environment that not only imparts language skills but also ignites students’ enthusiasm and interest in their chosen filed.
