VIDEOS AND SONGS FOR YOUR CLIL LESSONS

-

Happy Monday! 💖 

Videos and songs are always a wonderful resource for foreign language teaching. Why not using them in your CLIL classes?

During all of my years of CLIL teaching I have been using songs and videos to support the contents I was teaching. Both videos and songs have helped clarify Science concepts.

During all these years I have been saving them in USB external memories, but I must confess that from time to time I have been struggling to find songs or videos I knew I had, but I didn't know where to find them. 

Then I came up with the idea of compiling them in a Google Sites. So, I created one Google Sites: "VIDEOS FOR YOUR CLIL SCIENCE LESSONS" and "SONGS FOR YOUR CLIL SCIENCE LESSONS". In both Sites I have classified them by the learning units I am teaching. Click on the photos below to have access to both compilations.







If you have liked these two Sites, save the links because I will be uploading new videos and new songs which may be useful for your CLIL Science lessons.

Have a wonderful day,
Eva💖

  GOOD AFTERNOON! 💕 Well... or good evening or good morning, depending on when you are reading this post 😊 In this blog, I have already dealt with the following principles of CLIL: ☑ The 4 Cs ☑ Scaffolding ☑ Bloom's Taxonomy Today's post is about " The 3 As tool in CLIL ". Are you ready? 😉 The 3 As tool is used for planning CLIL lessons. Whereas the 4 Cs helps us in the overall planning of the unit, the 3 As tool is of great help when we plan the language our students will need in the activities we have planned. The 3 As stands for A nalyse,  A dd and A pply. Let's have a look at the three stages: 👉 Stage 1 : ANALYSE content for the language OF learning. This means the key phrases and the vocabulary needed. 👉 Stage 2 : ADD to content language FOR learning. This refers to metacognitive or learner's strategies, language for group/pairwork, understanding instructions, how to deal with not understanding... To me, this stage is highly important. If we wa...

TEACHING VOCABULARY AND GRAMMAR IN CLIL

  Hi teachers, Today I would like to talk to you about teaching VOCABULARY and GRAMMAR in CLIL . Should we teach vocabulary and structures before starting a Science or Arts unit?  After years of teaching with a CLIL approach, I confess there isn't a specific way to do so. I am going to tell you about my experience as a CLIL Science teacher. From my point of view, it depends on the age you are teaching and your students' level of English. When I teach 6-9 year-olds , I usually spend the first two sessions to teach and revise the new vocabulary that they are going to need in the new unit. And you may wonder how I do it. At these ages, I like using flashcards or realia and to play games with them. You can find some ideas about how to use flashcards in the post my dear friend and colleague Núria and I prepared: Let's see it with an example. The CLIL unit " A Healthy Mind into a Healthy Body " was divided into differents parts: 1) Introduction to Food 2) Where does it ...
