Criteria for Producing CLIL Learning Materials | Introduction | Peeter Mehisto

by Peeter Mehisto (2010) In educational contexts, learning materials can be defined as information and knowledge that are represented in a variety of media and formats, and that support the achievement of intended learning outcomes. They are in adherence with the objectives and requirements of a regional or national curriculum. This Internet tool lists criteria for creating CLIL-specific learning materials, provides examples of how to apply each proposed criterion while also providing a corresponding rationale with references. This is an excerpt from an article that is under publication and that includes other criteria that can be applied to the development of CLIL and non-CLIL learning materials.

Bloom's Digital Taxonomy Pyramid

This page gathers all of the Bloomin' Apps projects in one place ! Each of the images has clickable hotspots and includes suggestions for iPad, Google, Android, and Web 2.0 applications to support each of the levels of Bloom's Revised Taxonomy. The use of the triangle shape for Bloomin' apps projects was not used to help clear up the misunderstanding that the levels are hierarchical and the top levels only make up a tiny portion of the cognitive processes.

Core CLIL Activators

Action Teachers articulate on a daily basis content, language and learning skills outcomes in cooperation with students. Teachers guide students in analysing achievement of learning outcomes independently, with other students and with teachers, and work to set new outcomes. Teachers organise formative assessment of content, language and learning skills, aimed at improving learning and learner autonomy. Teachers prepare students for summative assessment, including in high-stakes situations. Examples Prior to the end of a class teachers and students analyse the extent to which they have achieved previously stated learning outcomes. Students select three pieces of work per month that represent their best effort and analyse progress being made from month to month.
