Study Notes
CLIL Methodology
- CLIL methodology combines content and language learning.
- Guiding principles and lesson planning are crucial aspects of CLIL.
- Three types of bilingual education exist: Immersion, CLIL, and Submersion.
Guiding Principles
- Immersion education focuses on teaching a country's other language (e.g., in Canada, Belgium, Ireland, Luxembourg, Malta, Finland, Switzerland, Slovenia, and the UK), where a language which is not the larger society's language is used for instruction.
- Submersion education aims for linguistic and cultural integration of migrants (linguistic minority). The majority language is used here.
- CLIL lessons integrate content and language seamlessly. Focus is on subject knowledge and language proficiency improvement.
Lesson Planning
- Ensure that the focus of the lesson integrates content and language.
- Lessons should have components for content progression, communication (which is needed for the content learning and for general communication), and cognition.
- Culture should also be considered as a component in planning the lesson.
- CLIL lessons use Coyle's 4Cs framework for planning, which includes Content, Communication, Cognition, and Culture (Community/Citizenship). Specific questions to consider for each component are given in the slides.
CLIL 4Cs
- Content: Identify the central subject matter/topic.
- Communication: Determine which language will be used, analyze the language for communication in that lesson.
- Cognition: What higher-order thinking skills are needed for that specific topic?
- Culture (Community/Citizenship): Is there a cultural focus in the lesson?
Classroom Principles
- Language is used for learning and communication.
- The subject matter determines the language needed.
CLIL Strategies
- Holistic educational experience is critical for sustainable learning
- Clear, meaningful, and authentic goals should be set.
- Scaffolding and building support structure are vital.
- Involve students through rich interaction and collaborative tasks.
- Adapt to varying cognitive levels (use higher order thinking skills).
- Acknowledge the classroom culture and inter-cultural dimension.
- Support students' learning.
- Evaluate and reflect upon the lesson and learning.
CLIL Core Components
- Input: Authentic, meaningful, and challenging material.
- Tasks: Higher order thinking, student interaction, authentic communication, subject-specific study skills.
- Output: Cross-cultural communication, fluency, accuracy, and complexity. BICS (Basic Interpersonal Communication Skills) and CALP (Cognitive Academic Language Proficiency) interplay is vital for successful CLIL.
CLIL Lesson Framework
- Content and language are equally important in CLIL lessons.
- The lesson usually follows a four-stage framework. A suggested CLIL framework is described, including tasks, media choice, and topic selection.
CLIL Advantages
- Multi-focal lesson planning where content, communication, cognition, and culture are connected.
- Higher-order thinking skills are part of the CLIL lessons.
- Scaffolding, learning strategies, and study skills are vital parts of planning and teaching.
- Multi-modal input in CLIL lessons accounts for individual learning styles.
- Flexible interaction/cooperation models are common (individual, paired, group).
- Intercultural communication is a consideration.
Teacher Needs for CLIL
Both subject teachers and language teachers need preparation and confidence to successfully use CLIL.
Additional Characteristics for teachers with ELT backgrounds
- Integrate language and skills (receptive and productive)
- Use reading and listening texts as foundational.
- Focus on functional language (determined by context), not just structural elements.
- Focus on lexical (vocabulary) approaches rather than grammar rules.
- Account for different learner styles when creating tasks.
