The author believes that lessons should not be or be seen to be isolated from the outside world. Instead students should be able to instantly use their newfound knowledge to interact with others outside of the classroom. In any subject be it science maths or history there has to be a connection between what students are learning and the reasoning behind it. Although this idea of Content and language Integrated Learning (CLIL) has been around since Confucius'' times many educators assume the connection between the lesson taught and society at large is implicit.
