| In practice, I'm not so sure there's a particularly significant difference between a class of high schoolers and a class of eighteen year-old college freshmen. Certainly, there is sufficient overlap to make the secondary focus fairly relevant to what you have ended up doing in the Middle East. |
My degree coursework essentially covered k-12 but with more of a focus on middle school and up. However, I taught some very sharp 18-20 year-old Saudi females---science track students who were taking calculus, statistics, physics, and chemistry freshman courses in English in addition to my EFL class. And in other countries in the Mid East, I taught working professionals as well as older students who had been accepted into master's and doctoral programs in universities in the West.
