AB  - Working memory utilization improvement strategies in a flipped class environment, where the lowest cognitive level equals memorization in the Bloom’s taxonomy, have been implemented for helping the learning of physics in engineering and technology ESL students.  The transitions to the various upper levels in the Bloom’s taxonomy pyramid, shown in the Vanderbilt flipped class webpage (cft.vanderbilt.edu/guides-sub-pages/flipping-the-classroom/), have been emphasized with graphical reasoning together with Google Translate technology assisted thinking.  The keywords in the Bloom’s taxonomy verb chart in University of Arkansan Innovation and Pedagogy Support webpage (tips.uark.edu/) have been found to be useful for lecture learning and lab report writing as well.  The recent discovery that a studied group consisting of physics learning engineering Hispanic students in an urban university would use episodic memory, in addition to the expected use of the semantic memory, has been applied to the teaching of Chinese heritage ESL engineering and technology students in an urban community college in New York City. The assessment results showed an improved working memory utilization when the students were encouraged to use their mother-tongues in recalling the episodic memory.  The strategic use of mother-tongue in terms of cognitive offloading and working memory utilization in the learning of physics by engineering and technology ESL students is discussed.
