Comparing CLIL methodologies with other teaching strategies

Thanks to …

• Inverness Royal Academy and his Headmaster

• to all the Inverness staff and colleagues

• to Scotland (?)• to Comenius and European Funding• to all of us

… and to

Mr.John

A short refresh

In this meeting our aim is to define, but probably not to complete, the final formal version of a grid, or of a set of indicators, or of a set of tools to measure some parameters useful to analyse a lesson (module or whole course too).

And after• In the second one, in Spain, we’ll

introduce CLIL methodologies, describing them and adding new indicators in our grid/tools.

• In the third, in Romania, we’ll report our (first?) experiences with these methodologies, comparing results and observations using (if possible) the grid/tools; and we’ll start to involve some students.

Homework?

The seven presentations we’ll see soon, probably will be seven different approaches to our topic. Don’t worry. The correct solution don’t exist. And I hope the differences will be our strength in the development of the project.

Works organisation

• one day for the presentations of the material produced in each school, sequentially one by one, to all the partners;

• one day to analyze and summarize all the contributes working in mixed groups, and final common synthesis at the end;

• one day to decide the homework and plan the next meeting.

My personal free brainstorm

• What will be the use of our grid/tool? Evaluate a lesson

• But the evaluation depends on the aims of each teacher/school type/national school system.

• It’s very difficult to imagine a grid/tool useful for all.• So our common proposal would be general and

each teacher will use a subset of it, the subset he valuates coherent with the activity he is observing.

• Our main aim is to compare methodologies, the grid is only the tool we decided to use.
