The 4 C’s model – Do Coyle | CLILingmesoftly The lighter version CLIL is complex and context-sensitive.There are general parameters for CLIL.These are: Cognition, Culture, Content, Communication.Any particular CLIL model or methodology needs to consider the relative value/importance of the parameters above.Language as a learning tool operates in three ways: OF – FOR – THROUGH The 4Cs Framework Coyle, D. (2008). CLIL – a pedagogical approach. In N. Working towards a cohesive conceptual tool, and influenced by the early work of Mohan and his Knowledge Framework (1986), Coyle (1999) developed the 4Cs Framework (Figure 1). 1.

C is for C-Wheel | Carol Read's ABC of Teaching Children I originally developed the C-Wheel to use on teacher education courses in order to help develop awareness and understanding of ways to create optimal conditions for children’s learning, whatever the age. My aim was two-fold: firstly, to provide a flexible tool which could be applied to many different teaching and learning contexts, and secondly, to suggest that by adopting an approach in which we take account of the whole child, we are likely to be more effective and successful in our work as language teachers. I have written about the C-Wheel in detail elsewhere* so what follows here is a brief description. Context: the context for learning needs to be natural, real and make sense to the child. Connections: we need to build in connections to other areas of learning, e.g. science, as well as to the child’s own real life experience and language, and how these compare and contrast with English. Materials: whether you’re using e.g. a language course book or subject-based materials.
Content and Language Integrated Learning In ELT, forms of CLIL have previously been known as 'Content-based instruction', 'English across the curriculum' and 'Bilingual education'. Why is CLIL important?How does CLIL work? Why is CLIL important? Even with English as the main language, other languages are unlikely to disappear. How does CLIL work? Knowledge of the language becomes the means of learning contentLanguage is integrated into the broad curriculumLearning is improved through increased motivation and the study of natural language seen in context. The advantages of CLIL CLIL helps to: Introduce the wider cultural contextPrepare for internationalisationAccess International Certification and enhance the school profileImprove overall and specific language competencePrepare for future studies and / or working lifeDevelop multilingual interests and attitudesDiversify methods & forms of classroom teaching and learningIncrease learner motivation. The treatment of this lexis has the following features: Where is CLIL happening?
Article: Planning CLIL lessons By John Clegg To overcome the language barrier, CLIL teachers need to plan their lessons to include language support as well as content teaching. John Clegg explores the strategies that can be applied. Teaching in L1 If you teach a subject in the first language (L1) of your learners – or in a language in which they are fluent – there are some things which you normally feel you can count on. a) Basic language ability Most teachers feel they can count on their learners being able to use the language of learning; in other words that they can talk without struggling with vocabulary and syntax; that they can listen with reasonable understanding to people talking at some length about a topic; and that can read and write at least at a minimally skilled level. If you teach your subject in a second language (L2), you know that you normally can’t count on these things. b) Academic language proficiency The truth is that schools don’t often teach these skills explicitly. Teaching in L2

It’s been very rewarding for me to teach it and hopefully for the students too!! The last session was on assessment in PE using CLIL. A very big topic and only had a 3 hour class but I managed to get the main points across. Here is the handout that the students received. Half of the session’s material came from this excellent document which I highly recommend: As examples in my handout, I used tables from this document so please refer to it to understand my notes!!

CLIL: A lesson framework Underlying principlesClassroom principlesLesson frameworkConclusion Underlying principlesThe principles behind Content and Language Integrated Learning include global statements such as 'all teachers are teachers of language' (The Bullock Report - A Language for Life, 1975) to the wide-ranging advantages of cross-curricular bilingual teaching in statements from the Content and Language Integrated Project (CLIP). The benefits of CLIL may be seen in terms of cultural awareness, internationalisation, language competence, preparation for both study and working life, and increased motivation. While CLIL may be the best-fit methodology for language teaching and learning in a multilingual Europe, the literature suggests that there remains a dearth of CLIL-type materials, and a lack of teacher training programmes to prepare both language and subject teachers for CLIL teaching. Classroom principlesSome of the basic principles of CLIL are that in the CLIL classroom:
Zona CLIL | Metodología y Recursos CLIL/AICLE EMILE The Next Generation of LifelongLearningTeachers: CLIL lesson - History This is a CLIL activity I made up on my own for one of my classes. It's simple, funny, and easy to customize for different subjects (I will post a Geography version later on). It turned out to be motivating and successful, so I would rank it second in my CLIL experience, just after Dante's CLIL. Note: this lesson-plan fits any situation when you want to revise a range of topics you've already studied with your pupils. In my opinion, it won't work for introducing a new subject. As for us, we had been studying the fall of the Roman Empire, dealing with different populations: the Romans, the Huns, the Byzantines and the Lombards (Langobards). about 20 students - 12/13 years old subjects: History/Languages Pupils working in teams (4 teams, since we had studied 4 different populations) About 2 hours needed Instructions given in English - pupils can answer and discuss, when needed, both in English and in mother tongue.
