Introduction
and load line
equation
(20m)
Igor Petrovčič
Using an example circuit
and mathematical
concepts, derive the
equation for load line. Help
students translate their
understanding of the
Physics laws involved.
Amresh Torul
Help students label the
circuit using standards and
conventions used by native
speakers of English. Guide
students to explaining
Ohm's law and Kirchhoff's
laws in English. Review
mathematical key words in
English and ask students to
complete the table for task

Students
Interact with teachers and write
down key words. Read laws and
translate.
Comments
Students think in Slovene and
respond in English, and viceversa. They communicate in
English, about their technical
subject (Electronics), using the
appropriate vocabulary. They
learn new key words in English.
