Ex.1 p.77
Aim: to introduce the topic of STEM
• Direct Ss’ attention to the title. Elicit which academic subjects/fields STEM includes.
• Elicit what else Ss know about STEM.
|
Suggested Answer Key
STEM includes the fields of science, technology, engineering and mathematics because that is what the letters stand for. Jobs related to STEM are growing in popularity.

Suggested Answer Key
STEM is a group of subjects in the fields of science, technology, engineering and mathematics. STEM helps us to develop ideas about the world around us and create something new. It also helps us to understand and analyse various phenomena.
Employment in STEM fields has grown in recent years with the USA showing an increase of 79% since 1990. There are lots of jobs in STEM fields, from laboratory-based jobs such as biochemists and forensic science technicians to financial advisors and accountants.
The most common area is computer occupations with 45% of STEM employment falling into this area. However, other areas such as engineering and architecture come in second place, with 29% of STEM employment. The lowest areas of employment in STEM fields, according to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, are college and university teachers and mathematical occupations.
However, looking into the future, it is estimated that around 75% of careers will require STEM skills, which means that studying a STEM subject is more important than ever before!
