The educational challenge:
How can we take the learners of today …
… and help form the citizens, business people and happy, well-balanced individuals of tomorrow
… using the teaching methods of yesterday?
![Page 10: CLIL_by_Jon_Wright](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062704/555bd02fd8b42adf478b4d43/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
CLIL realities
• Few if any teachers have personal experience of learning using CLIL methods
• Few if any teachers have qualified to teach as CLIL practitioners
• CLIL is as new to teachers as to learners• CLIL materials are different – and not plentiful• CLIL is still experimental • CLIL does represent an additional workload
![Page 11: CLIL_by_Jon_Wright](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062704/555bd02fd8b42adf478b4d43/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
What do teachers need to know about CLIL? 1
• It’s not a method with one ‘correct’ way of doing things
• It’s not only about English• It won’t make learners fluent• Teachers don’t have to be fluent• It’s a team effort• It’s not impossible• It shows you have high expectations• CLIL deliberately aims to go beyond school limits
![Page 12: CLIL_by_Jon_Wright](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062704/555bd02fd8b42adf478b4d43/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
What do teachers need to know about CLIL? 2
CLIL is not translated Catalan/Spanish.
Why not?• Content and language goals are present• Language goals need specific targeting• Content and language goals depend on
communication• The reason for combining content and language
goals relates to development goals that differ from previous pedagogical goals
![Page 13: CLIL_by_Jon_Wright](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062704/555bd02fd8b42adf478b4d43/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
What do teachers need to know about CLIL? 3
CLIL is not EFL
Why not?• EFL has a grammar syllabus and functional with grammatical
progression• EFL is marked for accuracy and fluency, not content• Content topics involve technical language EFL avoids• EFL links primarily to the cultures of English-speaking
countries• EFL rarely has a specific focus on cognitive development
![Page 14: CLIL_by_Jon_Wright](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062704/555bd02fd8b42adf478b4d43/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Learner benefits of CLIL
• Global citizens in a time of accelerating change• Multiple perspectives and intercultural
communication skills• Enhanced range of skills for working life • Armed for life-long learning with effective strategies• Problem-solving expertise• Teamworkers confident of working alone
![Page 15: CLIL_by_Jon_Wright](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062704/555bd02fd8b42adf478b4d43/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Values in the classroom
“The values we take with us into the classroom have a significant impact upon how we teach, upon our expectations of students and, in turn, upon how students respond.”
Ollerton, M. (2004). Creating Positive Classrooms. London: Continuum
![Page 16: CLIL_by_Jon_Wright](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062704/555bd02fd8b42adf478b4d43/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Example: Copying the class rules
• No discussion• No focus on understanding• No emphasis on agreement• No credit to sensible students• No evidence of trust• No promotion of ownership• No pairwork or team effort
![Page 17: CLIL_by_Jon_Wright](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062704/555bd02fd8b42adf478b4d43/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
CLIL Values
• Confidence• Thinking skills• Decision making• Learner autonomy• Open to new ideas/otherness• Committed to lifelong learning• Cooperative • Flexible and adaptable• Good communicators• Intercultural competence
![Page 18: CLIL_by_Jon_Wright](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062704/555bd02fd8b42adf478b4d43/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Classroom routines
Each lesson, viewed as a learning event, is a collection of predictable teacher actions:
• Greet the class• Take the register• Introduce aims
… how many others can you think of?
![Page 19: CLIL_by_Jon_Wright](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062704/555bd02fd8b42adf478b4d43/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Some classroom routines
Arranging seatingIntroducing topicExplaining tasksExplaining proceduresCorrecting errorsCalming the classEnthusing the classSetting time limitsAsking for examplesAsking questions
Checking comprehensionForming pairs and groupsReturning workHanding out equipmentGiving examplesGiving feedbackAssessing performanceManaging noise levelsReview previous learningMonitoring activities
![Page 20: CLIL_by_Jon_Wright](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062704/555bd02fd8b42adf478b4d43/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
CLIL: suggested action plan 1
1. Get a working group of teachers to create an agreed set of typical expressions in English for the most common classroom routines.
2. Share the expressions with all teachers.3. Train/support shy or less confident teachers.4. All teachers use the typical expressions in
class.
![Page 21: CLIL_by_Jon_Wright](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062704/555bd02fd8b42adf478b4d43/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Learner language in classAsking for help Please, could you help me?
...Cooperating with others Let’s work together.
...Responding to questions I know what the answer is.
...Commenting on understanding Sorry, I don’t understand.
...Greeting and leave-taking Good morning, Miss.
...Asking to leave the room Can I go to the toilet, please?
...Giving opinions Well, in my opinion
...

CLIL: suggested action plan 2
Work with the learners to make an ongoing record of useful expressions for classes.
Display as one or more postersCreate a booklet for each learnerInclude in their vocabulary books
