主题学习 Topical Learning
每次学习一个特定的主题，例如： 地理特征，历史事件，法律案件，健康状况，名人名言。每一个主题都会涉及至少两门学科，例如：地理，历史，法律，医药。每当学生学习一个新的主题，任何一个特定的学科、或者是新的语言，都会成为理解这个主题的关键工具和载体，由此使学生能够有效的运用这个学科去理解一个多元的主题，并且加强了自己对它的理解。
Study a specific topic such as a geographical feature, historical event, legal case, medical condition, or notable person, each of which may cover more than one academic subject such as geography, history, law, or medicine. When students focus on learning a topic, the specific subject, such as a foreign language, becomes an important tool or medium to understand the topic, thus providing a meaningful way for learners to use and learn the subject (or language).
情景学习 Thematic Learning
情景学习涉及更加宏观的主题，例如：一个广义的概念，或者是一个大型的综合性系统（政治结构，生态环境，经济发展等）。它类似于主题学习（Topical Learning)，在特定情景的框架下，该课程结合、运用了不同领域的不同知识。通过综合、统一地学习各独立板块的知识，学生们可以为未来的学习生活和工作环境做准备。
Thematic learning is used to study a macro theme, such as a broad concept or large and integrated system (political system, ecosystem, growth, etc.). As with topical learning, it forges connections across content areas within the limits of the particular topic. By studying the broad concepts that connect what would otherwise be isolated subject areas, learners can develop skills and insights for future learning and the workplace.
