apply in or apply to

I don't know what is the best option in the following sentence:

I would like to give some examples of how to apply this topic in / to the English class. For instance, it may be done through films or short clips on websites such as youtube or bbc.co.uk.

apply this topic in the English class
apply this topic to the English class

Do these make sense?

 

[Raymott]

apply this topic in the English class
apply this topic to the English class

Do these make sense?

Yes, but that's her question - which is better?

 

[Daruma]

Is the second better?

I think 'present this topic' is better than 'apply this topic', I wouldn't use apply in this situation.

- present this topic to the English class
- present this topic in the English class

Which do you think is better?

 

[bhaisahab]

- present this topic to the English class
- present this topic in the English class

Which do you think is better?

They are both fine.

I'd say that "present this topic in an English class" is better and that "apply this topic to an English class" is better.
I agree that they are both OK, but the choice depends on the intended meaning.

My question was not about "present" or "apply". In the context I'm using this sentence is better "apply", because I'm using a content of another subject and I don't present it, I just apply it in my class.
My question was about in or to.

Then you should use "apply to", in my opinion, as I've suggested in my previous post.
If you can apply the material to your English class, then it's alright to apply it in your English class. I would not apply it in a class unless it applied to the class.
