Welcome to the Important American Careers and Character Traits Course,
This course is designed for American English Learners to become more familiar with some of the most important careers as well as 30 different character traits.
This course includes 2 Modules with 31 Units each. Module 1 Units are focused on 30 popular careers in the USA and include informative videos on specific careers, video summaries with multiple-choice video comprehension questions, as well as answer keys. Module 2 Units are focused on 30 different character traits and include character trait introductions, videos, video comprehension questions with answer keys, as well as informative and motivational videos called "Life Lessons." It is important to note that employers want to know the character of potential job candidates just as much as their training and job experience. English Learners who are able to understand and discuss character traits are thus better prepared for job interviews in the United States of America.
Directions for Students:
- Please read each introduction, watch each video carefully, and complete each multiple-choice test to the best of your ability.
- On your own notebook, please write down the test answers and check the Answer Keys to identify the results.
- You are highly encouraged to do additional online research for each of these careers and character traits.
- Once you finish each unit, please make sure you: 1. Click on the button: "Mark as Completed" and 2. Click on the button: "Next Unit" to get credit for your work and move on to the following unit.
