The content of all those texts was related to the
Nursing students' subjects of some disciplines that they were
taking that semester. This fact was confirmed by some students
of that group when they were asked about their knowledge
of the
subject dealt with in those texts; students taking their first
university semester at the Medical School study the systems of
the human body. However, we are not sure whether students
were
studying the pathology related to those systems simultaneously
with the presentation of the texts in class. We can only infer
that by the end of that semester most problems concerning the
topics of the texts should have already been studied by those
students.
The general impression was that the subjects dealt
in the English texts had not been discussed in their classes of
pathology before or by the time of the presentation of those
texts in EL I classes yet. ß
The Physics Group translated twelve specific texts
in
the first semester of 1979. They were
presented in class
according to the sequence below:
1. ELECTRIC MOTORS
2. MATERIALS ~
3. CORROSION
