Auto-Mechanics Course. Bilingual Vocational Instructional Materials.
Lopez-Cox, Guadalupe
This auto-mechanics course, one of a series of bilingual English-Spanish vocational education courses, is designed to introduce the basic skills that an automotive mechanics student should know. It is geared to teach the student basic manipulative skills, safety judgments, proper work habits, desirable attitudes, and proper behavior for initial employment in the automobile mechanics field. The course covers the engine, the electrical system, brakes, steering and suspension, power train, engine-supporting systems, tune-ups, and air conditioning, providing handouts or transparencies for these topics. The course also contains a detailed sample lesson plan on vocabulary for auto mechanics as a model for teachers to develop lessons for the course and an extensive English/Spanish vocabulary list. Suggested books and films for teacher or classroom use complete the packet. (KC)
