PRINCIPLES OF CLIL• All teachers are teachers of language• Dual-focused educational approach• Language is used to learn as well as to
communicate• The subject determines the language
needed• Teaching in a different way• Prediction of problems
jsp 2010-2011
BENEFITS OF CLIL• Buids intercultural knowledge and understanding• Develops intercultural communication skills• Improves language competence and oral
communication skills• Develops multilingual interests and attitudes• Provides opportunities to study content through
different perspectives• Allows learners more contact with the target language• Does not require extra teaching hours• Complements other subjects• Diversifies methodsand forms of classroom practice• Increases learner’s motivation and confidence
jsp 2010-2011
A CLIL LESSON• Content: knowledge,skills and
undestanding• Communication: using language to learn
whilst learning to use language• Cognition: thinking skills• Culture: alternative perspectives and
shared understandings.• Productive and receptive skills
jsp 2010-2011
LESSON PLANNING• Language and content• Language difficulties• Supportive strategies
– Talking in groups– Write sentences– Reading the textbook– Graphs– Visuals– Frames

TEACHING GRAMMAR• What is grammar?
– A system of rules– The engine of language
jsp 2010-2011
Explicit learning of grammar
• Rule-based• Deliberate• Declarative learning• More fluent and automatized• Facilitates learning of L2• Speeds up the process• Improves the final outcome• The more difficult the rule is the more
important explicit teaching is.
jsp 2010-2011
Explicit learning of grammar
• Two approaches:– Deductive:
• Rules and introduced and practiced• Full transfer of the rule• Abstract thinking skills
– Inductive:• Problem solving and discovery• Scaffolding
jsp 2010-2011
Implicit learning of grammar
• Automatical• Subconscious• Natural• Slow• Massive inputs of language• Incidental acquisition of rules• Meaning-oriented context• Immediate practice and use
jsp 2010-2011
Implicit learning of grammar
• FORM-FOCUSED INSTRUCTION: Focuses on the language form in the context of meaningful communication.
• Provides:– opportunities to “notice” the form of the
input– Perception of the difference– Learning of the target-like use of the form
jsp 2010-2011
TEACHING GRAMMAR(summary)
• Meaning-based• Form-focused• Knowledge of language as a system• Practical principles:
– Select typical subject-specific texts– Clear meaning– Highlight the structure– Let the students:
• Find the regularities• Infer the rule• Practice the rule• Create examples
– Generalize the use of the structure to other contexts
jsp 2010-2011
STRATEGIES• Metacognitive strategies: direct the
process• Cognitive strategies: manipulate the
material to be learned or apply a specific technique
• Socio-affective strategies: techniques to collaborate with others, to verify understanding or lower anxiety
jsp 2010-2011
STRATEGIES• Skilled learners: more metacognitive
strategies, use appropriate strategies.• Less-skilled learners: have few
strategies or choose inappropriate strategies.
• Consistent, long-term strategy instruction is able to improve learner’s strategic activity and lead to better learning outcomes.
jsp 2010-2011
STRATEGY INSTRUCTION IN CLASS
• Texts and tasks used normally• Anticipate difficulties• Over-emphasize the use of context
or common sense to work out the meaning
• Remind learners to try the strategy in other tasks
jsp 2010-2011
SUPPORT STRATEGIES FOR LISTENING / SPEAKING
• Listening is a top-down and bottom-up interactive process.
• Top-down: – Prior knowledge– Hypothesis
• Bottom-up:– From lower level upwards
jsp 2010-2011
SUPPORT STRATEGIES FOR LISTENING / SPEAKING
• Teacher talk• Authentic content-related listening materials:
– Up-to-date information– Different speaking styles– Linguistic features typical of the register– Models of the academic register
• Adapted materials, pre-, during and post-listening activities
• Pre-teaching of core vocabulary• Visuals, enumeration, examples, summaries…
jsp 2010-2011
VOCABULARY LEARNING STRATEGIES
• What is vocabulary?– Single words– Polywords– Collocations or word partnerships– Institutionalized utterances
• Kinds of vocabulary– Receptive vocabulary: meaning in context– Productive vocabulary: encoded in memory
jsp 2010-2011
VOCABULARY LEARNING STRATEGIES
• Importance:– Lexis is more important than grammar– Relates with reading comprehension and
intelligence– Deficiences in vocabulary are cause of
academic failure– Teaching of content vocabulary improves
academic success– L2 learners need about 5000 words
jsp 2010-2011
VOCABULARY LEARNING STRATEGIES
• Input: authentic content texts• Noticing: deliberate attention to vocabulary• Dictionaries and other tools• Practicing• Production• Word inferencing• Word grouping• Concept maps (www.wordsift.com)• Word cards and word logs• Elaboration
