EMPOWERING LANGUAGE FLUACY: INTEGRATING ENGLISH LEARNING WITHIN STEAM EDUCATION
Main Article Content
Abstract
This article explores the integration of English language learning into Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics (STEAM) education. It argues that fluency in English, as a lingua franca of the global community, can significantly enhance students' ability to engage with the STEAM subjects at a higher level, fostering more innovative and inclusive educational outcomes. By interweaving language learning with STEAM subjects, educators can equip students with the linguistic tools necessary to thrive in a globalized scientific and technological landscape.
