Introduction to CLIL

What does CLIL mean for you? Use this Padlet to write your ideas. There are no right or wrong answers.

CLIL involves using an additional language for both learning content and language. This means that the teaching and learning process focuses on both content and language, rather than just one or the other (Coyle et al., 2010)

CLIL is not a specific method, but rather a broad term (Umbrella term) that encompasses various practices and techniques from different methodologies. It's an approach to acquiring a second language.

Active Learning

CLIL encourages active learning strategies, such as group discussions, debates, experiments, and problem-solving activities, to engage students in the subject matter and language practice. Examples: implementation of active methodologies like Project Based Learning, Problem-Based Learning, Design for change, and cooperative learning, among others.

The 4Cs Framework of CLIL (Coyle et al., 2010) These principles can be seen as starting points in CLIL lesson planning. (Mehisto et al., 2008)

Content

In CLIL classrooms content is at the heart of the learning process. Teachers ensure that students acquire knowledge and skills in subject areas such as science, mathematics, social studies, or arts while using a second language as a medium of instruction. This integration enables students to engage with the subject matter in a meaningful and holistic way.

Cognition

CLIL encourages the development of critical thinking, problem-solving, and analytical skills. Students are challenged to make connections, analyze information, and explore new concepts within the context of the content subject. In this sense, Bloom's Taxonomy is a way of categorizing educational goals according to the complexity of cognitive skills involved: LOTS (Low order thinking skills), basic cognitive skills and HOTS (High order thinking skills), complex cognitive skills.

Bloom's Taxonomy

Communication

CLIL not only aims to teach content but also promotes language development. Students acquire vocabulary, grammar, and language skills while actively engaging in meaningful tasks related to the content being taught. Language becomes a tool for understanding and expressing ideas in subject-specific contexts.

Coyle et al., 2010, propose The language triptych to make connections between content and language objectives. In this way, we can integrate cognitively demanding content with language learning and use, making meaningful the relationship between using the language for knowledge construction.

Language OF learning

Language FOR learning

Language THROUGH learning

Culture

Essential to CLIL is the idea that we are all connected to one another in a variety of ways and have responsibilities as well as rights in every setting. We can imagine our learners and ourselves at the center of a series of ever-expanding circles. Starting with the individual learner at the center, we can expand to family and community. Guiding questions for planning: -What are the cultural implications of the topic? -How does the CLIL context allow for ‘value added’? - What about otherness and self? -How does this connect with the other Cs?

Scaffolding

Teachers provide support and scaffolding to help students understand and engage with complex content. They gradually release responsibility to students as their language and subject knowledge improve.

Scaffolding categories according to Walqui (2006)

Scaffoldingcategories

BRIDGING: connecting old with new information.

CONTEXTUALIZING: presenting some aspects using a different medium or aid to support language. For example, images, videos (audiovisual support), timelines.

MODELLING: Provide students with examples of completed tasks so they can see what it entails.

Scaffoldingcategories

DEVELOPING METACOGNITION: reflect upon the learning process. For example, self-evaluation activities. Scaffolding strategies help students move from BICS (Basic interpersonal communication skills) to CALP (Cognitive Academic Language Proficiency), which refer to the different levels of language proficiency and are especially relevant in understanding how students develop language skills while learning content in a second or foreign language.

SCHEMA BUILDING: set of interrelated knowledge to organize and understand information.

In a CLIL class students should be able to greet and communicate in everyday simple language (BICS), but also communicate by using a more academic vocabulary (CALP) in the classroom.

BICS & CALP Explained by Jim Cummins http://www.iteachilearn.com/cummins/bicscalp.html

MATERIALS

Authentic materials, such as real-world texts, videos, and resources related to the subject matter, are used to expose students to genuine language use and subject-specific vocabulary. Bringing these authentic materials to class enriches the students' experience, however, the teacher, as the one who knows the class, has to decide on what type of materials are needed and modify them if necessary.

Multimodality refers to the combination of multiple sensory and communicative modes, such as sight, sound, print, images, video, music, and so on, that produce meaning in any given message, to present content in different ways. These resources can support students' comprehension and language development.

When deciding which materials to choose, include reinforcement and extension activities. The former are addressed to special needs students. The latter, to students who are exceptionally gifted or fast-finishers.

Designing CLIL lessons

As an elementary teacher implementing Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) in your classroom, it is essential to design effective CLIL lessons that successfully integrate both content and language goals. In SJV school most of the language teachers are also the content area teacher, so it is important to be well-documented, and have close communication with specific content teachers who can guide and provide more relevant information about the topics you will implement.

How to integrate CLIL and an active methodology as Design for change?

Remember that CLIL is an approach that allows the use of other educational methodologies. Active learning, cooperative learning, and cultural awareness are present elements in CLIL and Design for Change, so, do not be afraid to join them, but keep in mind every aspect demanded so none of them lose relevance. When planning, have the following steps in mind:

It is the language to get by in a foreign language context. If we give our learners strategies to help them, they will be able to use the foreign language effectively. Here we have the magic word SCAFFOLDING because it is the kind of language they need in order to complete the tasks they are given. Students need to be supported in developing skills such as those needed for pairwork, cooperative group work, asking questions, debating, enquiring, thinking, etc. Language for learning is subject-compatible. Examples of this could be: · Presenting evidence · Writing a simple research report · Language for project work · Language for arguments/disagreements

Select one of your lessons and adapt it to incorporate CLIL principles. Identify opportunities to integrate language learning with subject content and suggest modifications or additions to the materials.Remember you can use the provided template.

• The sharing of learning intentions (meaning that teachers tell students at the beginning of the lessons what they will learn). • The use of success criteria (meaning that students will be told what the task will involve and what the outcome will contain). • The involvement of learners in self and peer assessment. • The importance of feedback, which should be sensitive to learners' self-esteem and which should thereby positively impact on motivation.

Summative assessment makes a judgment on the capability of the learner at that point in time and, apart from offering that judgment back to the learner, it often leads to some form of information-giving to another party, for example the school management or the learner's parents. It is therefore associated with testing in a more formal setting or an end-of-unit, `final' result, even if this is not obtained through an examination

Language of learning It is the language needed for learners to access the basic concepts and skills of the topic. Thanks to this, students use the appropriate language in meaningful contexts.Examples of this could be: · Key vocabulary phrases · Language of describing/defining/ explaining · Modal verbs for prediction · Future/conditional tenses · Cause-effect language

After watching the video, identify the observable elements , such as content objectives, language objectives, and integration of subject-specific vocabulary. Think of the effectiveness of these CLIL elements.

Choose a topic from the elementary curriculum and create a concept map that demonstrates how you can integrate both language and content objectives seamlessly in a CLIL lesson. Use appropriate connectors and keywords to illustrate the relationships between concepts.

Authentic materials: Utilize authentic materials, such as news articles, videos, or interviews, to assess students' ability to comprehend and analyze content while using language skills. This approach exposes students to real-world contexts and helps bridge the gap between classroom learning and real-life situations.

Real-life simulations: Provide opportunities for students to engage in simulations that reflect authentic situations. For instance, students can role-play scenarios in which they utilize language and content knowledge, such as acting as historical figures or solving real-life problems using scientific concepts.

Formative assessment "is more complex, as its intention is to be directly diagnostic with a view to immediately impacting on the learner's next steps. It is also formative for the teacher, because it can alter planning and practice mid-unit (or even mid-lesson) and not just after all the work is complete, as a summative test might do." (Coyle et al., 2010)

Language through learning It is linked to the student getting actively engaged in using the language and thinking. Effective learning cannot take place without the active involvement of language and thinking. New settings will require new language and for this reason, this language cannot be predicted in advance. This emergent language needs to be captured by the teacher, but it is difficult to predict beforehand what will emerge. Examples of this could be: · Dictionary skills · Recycling discussion skills · Extending presentation skills · Using feedback · Questioning/ Answering

Collaborative assessments: Encourage collaborative assessments that promote teamwork, communication, and intercultural understanding. Group projects, debates, or problem-solving activities enable students to collaborate, negotiate ideas, and effectively communicate their understanding.

Project-based assessments: Engage students in project-based assessments that integrate content and language objectives. For example, students can conduct research on a scientific topic, create a presentation, and deliver it to their peers using the target language.
