    Study Notes

    Introduction to CLIL Methodology

    • CLIL stands for Content and Language Integrated Learning
    • It's an evolving method where subjects are taught through a non-native language.
    • CLIL uses a foreign language as a tool for learning non-language subjects.
    • Both language and subject matter have a joint role in CLIL.

    Overview

    • CLIL aims to help learners develop both language skills and subject knowledge.
    • CLIL is action-oriented, task-based, and student-centered.
    • It combines language practice with subject content, boosting foreign language and intercultural competence.
    • Main aims include acquiring knowledge through the target language.
    • Developing necessary skills in both the target language and mother tongue.
    • Fostering understanding and appreciation of both cultures.
    • Enhancing cognitive and social skills.

    What is CLIL?

    • CLIL involves immersion in the target language during all subjects.
    • However, language development isn't the sole focus, but rather integrated with subject matter.
    • Learning is supported by providing linguistic, semantic, and pragmatic support related to both content and assessments.
    • "Submersion" means that linguistic minority students are taught in the majority language, aiming to develop the targeted language skills.

    Is it Immersion, Submersion or CLIL?

    • In CLIL, content and language are seamlessly integrated, simultaneously improving both.
    • For instance, a biology class in English allows students to master both biology content and English Language skills simultaneously.

    CLIL Principles

    • Content progression focuses on knowledge, skills, and understanding within defined curricula.
    • Communication (and collaboration) uses language to facilitate learning.
    • Cognition develops thinking skills that connect abstract and concrete concepts, alongside language.
    • Culture (community) exposes to perspectives and enhances awareness of different cultural contexts.
    • Competence focuses on developing learner competencies aligned with 21st-century skills and intercultural competence.

    Coyle's 4Cs of CLIL for lesson planning

    • Content: Focuses on the subject matter to be taught.
    • Communication: Identifies the specific language needed in the lesson.
    • Cognition: Determines the required thinking skills for learners.
    • Culture (and citizenship): Incorporates cultural elements relevant to the lesson.

    CLIL Principles in Action

    • Learning is whole and encompassing various areas of engagement.
    • Community development promotes collaboration, cooperation, and risk-taking.
    • Content should be naturally understandable, interesting, and engaging.
    • Communication promotes interaction and effective classroom practices.

    What is CLIL not?

    • CLIL is not about simplifying content for learners to understand.
    • It's about integrating content with language.

    History of CLIL

    • The term CLIL was coined in 1994 by David Marsh.
    • Several countries use CLIL, including the Netherlands, Slovakia, Germany, Finland, Hungary, the Czech Republic, and Poland.

    CLIL Founder

    • David Marsh is a prominent figure in CLIL.
    • His experience includes teacher development, research, and consultancy in numerous countries.

    Parameters in a CLIL Model

    • Relative importance of communication, language theories, content, culture, intercultural learning, and cognition are vital to any CLIL methodology.

    The Revised Taxonomy (2001)

    • Bloom's Taxonomy's revised version presents six levels of cognitive skills: remembering, understanding, applying, analyzing, evaluating, and creating.

    Theory of Learning

    • CLIL draws from various learning theories such as cognitive theories, sociocultural theory (Vygotsky), constructivism (Bruner), communicative language teaching (CLT), second language acquisition (SLA) theories, and content-based instruction (CBI).
    • Cognitive load theory focuses on balancing content and language demands.
    • Bloom's taxonomy promotes higher-order thinking skills.
    • Vygotsky's zone of proximal development (ZPD) prioritizes learners' capacity, scaffolding, and collaborative learning.
    • Bruner's constructivist model emphasizes scaffolding to support learning.
    • Krashen's input hypothesis underscores the importance of providing comprehensible input.

    Scaffolding

    • Language support (scaffolding) is necessary to make language accessible to learners.

    Competence (the 5th C)

    • Learning objectives across levels of thinking from remembering to creating are key.

    Critical Thinking in CLIL

    • Critical thinking (CT) is a valuable skill that learners should develop within the CLIL context.
    • The benefits of CLIL's approach align towards critical thinking abilities along with improved intercultural understanding, communication skills, and multilingual interests.

    Benefits of CLIL

    • CLIL builds intercultural knowledge and understanding.
    • It promotes communication skills.
    • CLIL offers diverse learning methods.
    • Learners develop confidence in language and subject matter.

    What is Hard (or Strong) CLIL

    • In hard CLIL, the subject is taught primarily through the target language, often by native speakers.
    • The focus is on content mastery within the subject.
    • Total immersion models are a primary example of hard CLIL.

    What is Soft (or Weak) CLIL

    • In soft CLIL, language is used in other subjects.
    • The primary focus is language-driven while also covering subject content.
    • This approach prioritizes language acquisition within the subject context.

    Subject Teachers' Needs

    • Subject teachers need confidence in managing the subject content, pronunciation, and language in their classroom.
    • Proficiency with language required for subject content needs are vital for good CLIL practice in the classroom.

    Language Teachers' Needs

    • Language teachers should feel capable in explaining subject concepts, providing support on unfamiliar scientific concepts, and improving science vocabulary and pronunciation.
