What is the CLIL pyramid?

Is a tool base in the 4C Framework for lesson planning and material construction/adaptation. The CLIL Pyramid suggests the following steps as its sequence for meaningful lesson planning.

Selection of content

Selection of content is the process of answering the question: What am I going to teach? What are the goals for the lesson? What I want my students to achieve after the lesson?

Selection of content

How to do it?

Intentionally placing the lesson in the calendar when it is more relevant for students (e.g., teach it in winter when there are more chances of seeing snow or ice).​ Planning an array of different activities that are multi-modal and attend all intelligences.​ Proactively thinking which language skills could tie with the content lesson.​ Thinking of different levels of the same lesson that would be relevant for all the cognitive levels in the classroom.

SELECTION OF CONTENT EXAMPLE

We will use a 2nd grade Science unit on States of Matter to show how a CLIL teacher should properly integrate the four C's and the CLIL pyramid in the unit.

Multimodal input

It means providing multiple venues for learning that accommodate different type of intelligences, learning styles, and different cognitive abilities. ​Providing an array of different materials is also a facilitator for new literacy and, in the bilingual classroom, more opportunities to blend with language input.

Multimodal input: Examples

Students watch the video about states of matter.

Teacher reads a fiction book about a dr op of water.

Multimodal input: Examples

Students listen to the song about states of matter

Experiment 2

Experiment 1

Teacher shows a fist-sized rock and a large bucket filled with pillow filling. Since the bucket is considerably larger than the rock, the teacher poses the question: "which one do you think is heavier?" Teacher asks volunteers to hold both objects in each hand and tell the class which one they feel it's heavier​

Teacher shows to students one square-sized bucket and one round-shaped bucket. Teacher puts first a solid shape (e.g., a notebook) and transfers it into the other bucket. Then, the teacher does the same but with water. Students observe how the liquid has changed its shape in the process while the solid has stayed the same.

Input scaffolding

Is one of the main pillars when we talk about CLIL learning. In terms of building a strong and solid learning process to enable students to achieve their goals, not only the subject but also the language acquisition. As teachers, we need to prepare meaningful and challenging lessons. ​The materials must be well selected to connect the lesson topic with their daily life and cultural environment.​

Cognition

Cognition is the mental process by which a person acquires knowledge and understanding. Generally speaking, it is when a student is taught to think and analyse, not just learn by heart.
CONTENT LANGUAGE THINKING

COGNITION

Experiment (Dancing raisins): The teacher will explain to the students that they will conduct an experiment and take notes on the different states of matter. The materials required for the experiment are raisins, an empty glass, and a bottle of soda. The teacher demonstrates the experiment (pour the soda into the glass and then add the raisins and observe what happen) with the students and require them to take notes during the demonstration. The students are provided with an exercise sheet with questions about the experiment.​

Question chart​

  • Is the soda a liquid, a gas, or a solid?​
  • What happens when we added the raisins to the glass of soda?​
  • Did the soda change according to the shape of the container?​
  • Do the raisins change shape when we add them in the glass of soda?​
  • Could you name three states of the matter that you can see on your daily basic?

communication

It is well known that the learning process is linked to language; as a student acquires new vocabulary and ways of expressing themselves, they will be able to communicate better and develop cognitively. For this reason, it is important to create an environment in which students can interact as much as possible. For example: teamwork, debates, reciting a poem, etc.​It is important to introduce new vocabulary to speak clearly and to let the children participate equally in the classroom.

Communication Activities to encourage the communication in the classroom

Group activity

Play "I spy with my little eye" states of the matter.​

Students are divided in three groups; solid, liquid and gas.​Every group need to gather information about the topic group and make a presentation for the class. ​In the presentation needs to be include the new vocabulary learned during this lesson.

For example:"I spy with my little eye something that is solid, is hard, colour grey and if we put it into the water it sinks. What is it? Is a rock."

Trivia "States of matter"

Students are divided in groups. The teacher will ask questions related to the subject learnt each group have a turn but if they fail the other group can answer the question.​The team that answer more questions correctly wins.​

Output scaffolding

The assistance required for the students to reach the level of competence required to carry out a task. This includes supporting student's production​of language in a certain content. See some examples in the following slides.

Activity: Classify​​ Students will create a chart where they will classify different objects according to their state of matter. After doing the classification, the teacher will give feedback. The student will do corrections to the chart if needed.

Click to find the Clasification chart.

Output scafolding: Presentation

Students will choose three objects from the classification chart and exemplify them with concrete objects. One of the objects chosen must be able to change its state by bowling, melting, cooling, mixing or blending ​ They will fill the worksheet to match the object chosen with the characteristic of its state. Also, they must make a drawing showing how one of the objects changes of matter. ​ In advance they will prepare the concrete objects, and orally present them explaining in which state they are classify and describe their characteristic. Then they will demostrate how one of the objects can change of state.​ Modeling sentences they must use: This __________ (object) is in ______________ state. We can see it _______________ (characteristics).

OUTPUT SCAFFOLDING: EXPERIMENT

  • Students will make a corn starch experiment and analyze the results. ​
  • Materials: water, a bol, cornstalk.​
  • Instructions: put the corn starch in the bol and little by little pour water on it. Mix the corn starch with water. With your fist, punch the mixture.​
  • Do a comparative chart to compare and contrast the differences between the inicial state of the water and the corn starch with the change of state when they got mixed. ​
  • Answer the following question: ​
  • What happens to the water when you punch the mixture? ​
  • Why do you think this happened?​
  • Which is the final state of the mixture? Explain your answer.

cLIL wORKOUT

Review of Key content and language elements (language of and for learning). ​Language of learning is the language the student need to acquire concepts and basic abilities related to the subject. Meaning the vocabulary used in the subject. ​Language for learning is the language necessary for working in a CLIL environment. Is related to the classroom language.

CLIL WORKOUT

Content to review: ​

  • Identify the basic concept of matter.​
  • Differentiate the various states of matter through their general characteristics. ​
  • Recognized examples of matter in different states. ​

Vocabulary: solid, liquid, gas or gaseous, state, melting, boiling.
