8 weeks to CLIL perfection

What topics will be discussed?

  1. The biggest CLIL challenge: subject vs. language
    You have a subject to teach in a second language. How do you balance the subject content and language goals? How to you deal with students with a low language level?
  2. Scaffolding, the holy grail of CLIL
    Everybody always talks about scaffolding, but how does it work and how can you make it work in your lesson? How can you differentiate your materials with scaffolding?
  3. Setting goals and reflecting upon them
    What are realistic goals and how do you train your students to reflect upon their own language (and work)? How can you integrate thinking skills with your goals?
  4. Classroom English: what phrases make sense and which don’t?
    Students have to practice their level of English. But so do you, right? Also, how do you motivate students to speak English in your lesson?
  5. Providing feedback without losing time
    Lesson time is precious. You want to be able to move on quickly! Learn how to provide feedback on both language and content and the six different ways of providing feedback.
  6. Check for understanding
    Do the students actually understand your English translation? You’d better be sure!
  7. Fun activities!
    I know, your lesson is great as it is. Yet, you might be able to use some of these quick CLIL activities to make your lesson more vivid. Creating your own CLIL activities will also be discussed.
  8. Do the students live up to your expectations? Assessment in CLIL
    At some point we all have to test the students. We discuss the role of language in assessment.
    We will also reflect upon your own progress in this week.
