CLIL Wheel for subject and language teachers
By Aleksandra Zaparucha
The traditional approach to CLIL, proposed by Coyle, Hood and Marsh (2010), revolves around the 4Cs: Content, Communication, Cognition and Culture. However, a more recent proposal put forward by Ball, Clegg and Kelly (2015), refers to the 10 CLIL Parameters. In my talk, I would like to offer a merger of those two approaches in the form of the CLIL Wheel. It combines three of the four CLIL ‘Cs’ - Content, Communication and Cognition with the appropriate parameters, leaving the fourth ‘C’ for Culture as the outside ring of the CLIL Wheel. In this way, the CLIL Wheel offers practical guidance to all those who have already started experimenting with CLIL and those who are thinking about it, whether Primary or Secondary, whether a language or subject specialist, especially as I will be using examples from various content areas.
During this session you will learn the practicalities of using the CLIL Wheel as a support and checklist for CLIL lesson planning

CLIL: Hard to plan, easy to teach!

Are you driving a model T Ford?
By Linton Roe
Research tells us that the more often we practise something, the quicker and more effectively we learn it. Many schools have successfully implemented regular practice as part of their Maths, Music, Sport, Humanities and other programs, yet often their Languages programs still run on a much older model. This session seeks to look at past and current models of Languages education in light of our recent lock-down experiences and explore some options that are now available to help students practise more often. Do we really still need to be driving a Model T Ford? Come along to discuss some ideas which may work for your program.
During this session you will learn that fixed mindsets and practices around timetables and curriculum planning are not always best for learners. Flexible, differentiated, student-centred tasks can be chosen by students at their point of need, can enhance both content and language learning.

A CLIL lesson in three moves
By Phil Ball
CLIL teachers sometimes seem to be worried that they are not 'integrating', in the sense that they are unsure as to how to balance the content-language emphasis during a standard CLIL class. It's much easier to resolve this if you see the lesson (or sequence) as having three distinct phases, each of which contains different types (and levels) of language.
During this session you will learn that the appropriate language focus in a CLIL lesson is a result of being aware of three natural stages

Curriculum skills for Soft and Hard CLIL
By Keith Kelly
Curriculum skills offer a bridge between the language and content curriculum areas. Language teachers can develop language through activities which focus on the same skill sets the learners meet in non-linguistic subject classroom without the need to cover the same depth of content. Content subject teachers can develop communication with this focus and through curriculum skills, both groups can make tangible and visible the general academic language of the curriculum frequently taken for granted or overlooked.
During this session you will learn about translating curriculum descriptors into language and activity appropriate for all curriculum areas.

Preparing a CLIL lesson in 15 minutes
By Patrick de Boer
Lots of teachers spend (almost) the same amount on planning their CLIL lessons compared to actually teaching it. This does not have to be the case. With a step-by-step aproach to planning a CLIL lesson this can be done in a short amount of time. Especially with the activities and resources mentioned in this training.
During this session you will learn how preparing a CLIL lesson does not have to take longer than actually teaching it.
