ESLA Issue 2: The Importance of Education


This issue focuses on how education is important for everything from dentistry, the economy and engineering. We also examined effective educational approaches, like online instruction and focusing more on hand's on learning over lecture and study based classrooms.

We hope you enjoy this latest issue of ESLA. The links to student blogs are below. And, as always, if you have questions or comments, ask them below or contact me at vincent.adams.esl@gmail.com

The second issue of ESLA Magazine focuses on education. Fitting, given that we are a school and this is a school project. But this topic is relevant for us because 1) everyone receives some sort of education, and 2) it is vital to the growth of all societies and all of man/womankind.

Like the previous issue, our goal was to analyze the causes and effects and then, after this analysis, offer a solution to the problem. Each student blog offers 1) an introductory video, 2) a cause and effect analysis article, 3) an annotated bibliography and 4) essential vocabulary for their topic.

ESLA Special Report: Bioethics

For the Fall I term at the ESL Academy, students studied the Bioethics, which examines how advances in biology and medicine affect us as individuals and as a society. 

Below the jump are student essays that cover a myriad of topics -- everything from cloning, fertility drugs and how to handle the AIDS and Ebola crises in Africa. 

We hope you enjoy this SPECIAL REPORT, and, as always, let us know what you think.

Cordially,
