CLIL Principles and Strategies

Hi 😊

In the next post we will talk about the CLIL Principles and Strategies

The following two images show some of the CLIL principles, the first one is about 'the 4- Cs Framework' term CLIL was coined by David Marsh in Finland (1994):CLIL stands for Content and Language Integrated Learning, CLIL refers to situations where subjects, or parts of subjects, are taught through a foreign language with dual-focused aims, namely the learning of content and the simultaneous learning of a foreign language.”The 4 Cs are a crucial element of CLIL.

Content: Content matter is not only about acquiring knowledge and skills, it is about the learners creating their own knowledge and understanding and developing skills (personalized learning).

Cognition: Content is related to learning and thinking (cognition). To enable the learners to create their own interpretation of content, it must be analyzed for its linguistic demands; thinking processes (cognition) need to be analyzed in terms of their linguistic demands.

Communication: Language needs to be learned which is related to the learning context, learning through that language, reconstructing the content and its related cognitive processes. This language needs to be transparent and accessible; interaction in the learning context is

fundamental to learning. This has implications when the learning context operates through the medium of a foreign language;

Culture: The relationship between cultures and languages is complex. Intercultural awareness is fundamental to CLIL. Its rightful place is at the core of CLIL.

And the second illustrates Bloom's Taxonomy of LOTs

That's all folks!

After several weeks I would like to summarize everything I have done and also tell you our point of view. At first I was a little scared by the projects that had to be done, the exams, the blog, etc. Now that I have finished all the tasks I can say that I am happy with the final result since I have put a lot of desire on it and I have tried to create different things. Perhaps the task that has taken the most work and time has been the interactive poster, but the result was very good. All the work in general has helped me to get closer to ICT, to learn resources for the future, and also to learn things that I did not know, such as all the information about the educational systems that other countries have, as we saw in the first project. These weeks have passed very quickly. I have learned a lot in the theory classes, since the explanations were clear and simple and everything was very well explained. In addition, having practiced through kahoots has helped me to better settle my knowle...

Starting Project 3

Hi 😊 In the next post we are going to start designing an interactive poster. 1. We will choose the class and the theme of the poster. 2. We decide the number of activities and the type of skills we want to teach. 3. We select a program or app to create a poster, and finally we show and explain our work through a video. Then I leave you links where we can create our interactive posters. Glogster Mural Padlet Lino That's it for today, see you in the next post.

Relatives Clauses: Types and pronouns

HI😊 I n today's class we talked about: Relatives Clauses: Types and pronouns Relative clauses are used to give additional information about a noun, such as a person, place or thing. Relative pronouns introduce a relative clause. They include who for people, that and which for things, when for time, and whose to show possession. Relative clauses belong to one of two categories: defining relative clauses and non-defining relative clauses. 1 . Defining relative clauses add essential information to a sentence. These clauses give essential information about the subject of the sentence. They define the person , time or thing that we are talking about. If we remove the clause, the sentence does not make sense. 2. Non-defining relative clauses add extra information to a nou...
