  4. A definition • CLIL refers to any dual-focused educational context in which an additional language is used as a medium in the teaching and learning of non-language content. It is an umbrella term covering aspects of: • Language Across the Curriculum • Bilingual Education • Content-based instruction/learning Steve Darn

  5. Another definition CLIL is the meeting point of content and language in space (the classroom) and time (the lesson). Steve Darn

  6. Why CLIL? • Economic(al) reason • Political reason • Pedagogical reason • Intercultural reason Steve Darn

  7. Messages • Every teacher is by definition a language teacher. • Every school should have a language policy. • Language is the principal means of making sense of knowledge. Steve Darn

  8. Languages in Europe The EU has 23 official languages The cost of translation in all EU institutions is estimated at €800 millionp.a. Steve Darn

  11. CLIL and ELT • Communicative approach • Process rather than product • Message rather than medium • Integration rather than isolation • Learner potential rather than teacher input • Language across the curriculum Steve Darn

  12. How does CLIL work? • Knowledge of the language becomes the means of learning content • Language is integrated into the broad curriculum. • CLIL is based on language acquisition rather than learning. • Learning is improved through increased motivation. • Language is seen in real-life situations in which students can acquire the language. This is natural language development. • CLIL is long-term learning. Students become academically proficient in English after 5-7 years in a good bilingual program. • Fluency is more important than accuracy. Learners develop fluency by using English to communicate for a variety of purposes. • Reading is the essential skill. Steve Darn

  13. Learning by…. CLIL is material driven Steve Darn

  14. Research Foundations • It takes 5-7 years for students in a quality bilingual program to become academically proficient in English. • Language acquisition is cyclical, not a linear process. • Learners acquire best when they create, discover and construct their own meanings. • Language is a means, not an end, and when learners are interested in a topic, they will be motivated to acquire language to communicate. • Fluency precedes accuracy and errors are a natural part of language learning. • Learners develop fluency in English by using English to communicate for a variety of purposes. • Reading is essential for developing academic English skills. Steve Darn

  15. The benefits of CLIL • Introduce the wider cultural context • Prepare for internationalisation • Enhance the school profile (bilingual education) • Improve overall and specific language competence • Prepare for future studies and / or working life • Develop multilingual interests and attitudes • Diversify methods of teaching and learning • Increase learner motivation Steve Darn

  16. CLIL in the classroom • CLIL curriculum • CLIL teachers • CLIL lessons Steve Darn

  17. The CLIL curriculum • All or some subjects are taught through a foreign or second language • The curriculum is based on the 4 Cs - CONTENT, COMMUNICATION, COGNITION and CULTURE • More content is taught as language competence increases • There is no language syllabus • CLIL starts in elementary school Steve Darn

  18. CLIL lessons • Contain the 4 Cs • Are not language lessons or subject lessons delivered in a foreign language • The subject matter determines the language needed to learn. Language is not graded. • Are often based on reading or listening texts • Are similar to ‘integrated skills’ lessons, incorprtae aspects of the lexical approach and are humanistic and communicative. Steve Darn

  19. A CLIL lesson framework There is no such thing as a ‘CLIL lesson’, but lessons often follow a pattern: • Processing the text • Organisation of knowledge • Language identification • Tasks for learners Steve Darn

  20. An interactive text Jeans are trousers traditionally made from denim, but may also be made from a variety of fabrics including cotton and corduroy. Originally work clothes, they became popular among teenagers starting in the 1950s. Historic brands include Levi's and Wrangler. Today Jeans are a very popular form of casual dress around the world and come in many styles and colors. The earliest known pre-cursor for jeans is the Indian export of a thick cotton cloth, in the 16th century, known as dungaree. Dyed in indigo, it was sold near the Dongarii Fort near Mumbai. Jeans were first created in Genoa. The first denim came from Nîmes,France. Steve Darn

  23. A student generated text Levi's® is a brand of riveted denimjeans manufactured by Levi Strauss & Co. It is thought that Levi Strauss sold his first jeans to goldminers during the California Gold Rush. Modern jeans began to appear in the 1920s.By the 1990s, the brand was facing competition from other brands and cheaper products from places like China, Hong Kong, and Vietnam. In 2000, the "Launderette" advertisement for Levi's 501s was named the 6th best television commercial ever. The advertisement featured the song I Heard It Through the Grapevine by Marvin Gaye. The new RedWire DLX Jeans will have iPod remote control fitted in its pockets, and comes complete with attached headphones. A pair will cost $200. Steve Darn
