Goals
1. Identify and properly name animals, plants, and parts of the human body in English.
2. Use the vocabulary learned in real-life situations and everyday contexts.
Contextualization
Getting to grips with vocabulary about animals, plants, and parts of the human body in English is super important, not just for travelling or studying but also for various careers. Picture a biologist needing to share their research in international scientific journals, or a healthcare professional attending global conferences. Being able to talk about these topics in English opens up doors and creates opportunities in our ever-connected world. For example, a tour guide at a wildlife reserve may need to convey information about different animal species to visitors from abroad, or a researcher in biotechnology might need to collaborate with peers from different nations to develop new treatments.
