What is CLIL?
Content and Language Integrated Learning
“It teaches aspects of subject
topics which pupils learn in their
other school classes, such as
Science, Maths, Geography and
Music, using English as the
medium of instruction.”
Has been around for a while…..
Why is CLIL so popular?
• Natural Language Acquisition
• Motivation
• Incorporating the ‘real world’
• Consolidating knowledge
• Fun facts!
CLIL ‘light’
‘real’ CLIL
Adaptation to the Primary Language Classroom
• Making input easier
Use of diagrams/ Charts/ Facts
• Supporting output
Task types/ Matching/ True or False/ Projects
Are there any similarities to EFL classes?
• Skills – all 4 skills are used
• Lexical approach – categorising vocabulary
What are the advantages?
• Motivation
• Cultural awareness
• Natural communication
• Immersion
CLIL in Action
How does CLIL work?
• Traditionally, language teaching
has been conceptualised through
one major learning route:
grammatical progression
• Children today “learn as you use,
use as you learn” rather than the
older experience of “learn now for
use later”.
• Response to “globalization”.
Typical ‘Kid – Parent/teacher conversation’:
Kid: Why do…?
Parent/teacher: Well, because…
Kid: Because why?
Parent/teacher: Just because!
4 ‘C’s curriculum
• Cognition

COMMUNICATION:

COGNITION:The process involved in thinking. We must help the learner to build up their own learning.
CONTENT:
Content matter is not only about acquiring new knowledge and skills, it is about the learner constructing their own knowledge and developing skills.
CULTURE:
Intercultural awareness Is fundamental to CLIL
Language in Action… Stages (P.P.P.)

Welcome to Maths and History!!!
4th Grade
Aim: to integrate other areas of the
curriculum
through English: Maths and History
Language: Numbers, Present Simple
EXAMPLES
AFFECTIVE TEACHING
• Write a number between 1 and 20(e.g. 5)
• Double the number (x2)
(e.g. 5x2=10)
• Add 6 (+6)
(e.g. 10+6=16)
• Divide by two (/2)
(e.g. 16/2=8)
• Subtract the original number
(e.g. 8-5=3)
The answer is 3!
3, 3 always 3!
