BOOKS FOR CLIL TEACHERS

-

 HOWDY! 😍

It's been a while since my last post. As teachers, you know that the end of the school year is overwhelming: meetings, grading, festivals... and these are some of  the reasons why I've been absent.

I have had this post in my mind for weeks and today I have finally some time to share it with you. I love reading books for teachers to keep updated, to learn more and to help me reflect on my practice.

I want to share with you these two books which can be really useful for CLIL teachers:

1) "CLIL: Content and Language Integrated Learning" by Do Coyle, Philip Hood and David Marsh. For me this book is the "bible" of CLIL and it is a "MUST HAVE". Not it only deals with theoretical concepts, but also how you can adapt CLIL to your context, assessment in CLIL, evaluating the impact of CLIL, programmes and future directions.

CLIL, clil methodology, CLIL books for teachers

2) "101 Scaffolding techniques" by Donna Lee Fields. If you are looking for ideas for Scaffolding, here you have 101 techniques that you can adapt for your CLIL lessons. This book is divided into 5 parts: 

👉 Scaffolding techniques for reading
👉 Scaffolding techniques for videos
👉 Identifying academic language
👉 Scaffolding techniques for ELT, ESL, EMI, EFL classes
👉 Expressions of politeness.

Have you read any of these two books?
Could you recommend me more books about CLIL?

I will very happy if you leave me a comment with your recommendations and/or your opinion about these two books.

Have a wonderful Saturday,
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 ...
