2. 1.Introduction
• How the internet changed the World forever

3. 1.Introduction
• Social media platforms have changed global human interactions

4. 1.Introduction

on the lives of young users. Creating unhealthy social behaviours
that can interfere with the emotional well-being and psychosocial
development

5. 1.Introduction
• The SEL a proactive and comprehensive approach to supporting the
development of students' social and emotional abilities.

7. 2.Justification of Academic and
Personal Interest

8. 2.Justification of Academic and
Personal Interest
It is our responsibility as members of
society to step in and educate and
encourage our children and teens to think
critically, act securely, and actively engage
in our digital environment.
Using the CLIL and
SEL techniques,
ESL students can
learn, practise, and
use L2 skills in
meaningful and
natural ways. In
addition, it enables
students to develop
empathy, resilience,
and interpersonal
connections.

9. 3.Objectives
3.1 Main Aim of The Project
To design an B1+-level EFL CLIL material integrating Social
Emotional Learning (SEL) in a unit addressing the responsible use
of social media platforms for high schools’ students at the English
Academy private Yes School in the Basque Country.

10. 3.Objectives
3.1.1 Specific aims
1.- To design an B1+-level EFL CLIL material integrating Social Emotional Learning
(SEL) strategies to promote communicative skills, and development of emotional
intelligence for high school students who attend classes in an English private
academy in the Basque Country, “Yes School”.
2.- To design an B1+-level EFL CLIL material addressing the responsible use of social
media platforms among high school students, by using real life scenarios, through
tasks-based activities based on the CLIL approach(…)
3.-To integrate the 4 Cs (Coyle 1999) and 5 core SEL competencies through the
design of a CLIL unit(…)
4.-To design an B1+-level EFL CLIL material promoting students’ personal growth and
foreign language learning.”

11. 3.Objectives
3.1.2 Personal aims
1. To provide students with information on the effects of cyberbullying(..)
2. To prompt students to engage in introspection regarding their online conduct
(..),
3. To provide opportunities for students to improve their English language skills (..)
4. To empower students to be catalysts for positive change (..)
5. To create inclusive and equitable learning environments that embrace and
celebrate diversity, ensuring that all students feel valued, respected, and
supported.
6. To keep exploring the CLIL scopes(..)
7. To improve teaching skills, it is important to keep up to date with current
educational trends (…)

12. 4.Theoretical Background
4.1 EFL Materials Design
• It is a chance to create materials that not only aid language acquisition but also
spark students' curiosity and imagination.
• In the words of Garton and Graves (2014, p. 11), "Materials are crucial to
language learning and teaching."
• Once the objectives have been identified, the next step is to choose appropriate
content for the materials.
• After deciding on the content, the teacher must decide on the format and
structure of the materials.
• EFL materials design is a complex and challenging process that requires careful
planning, creativity, and attention to detail

13. 4.Theoretical Background
4.2 The Communicative Method

14. 4.Theoretical Background
4.2 The Communicative Method
• CLT prioritises all four linguistic abilities, but with an emphasis on the
speaking.
• By integrating the communicative method with CLIL methodology,
teachers can create language learning experiences that are both
engaging and relevant to students’ content learning.
• Allows students to not only learn a language but also improve their
communication competence and critical thinking abilities in the context of
an authentic issue

15. 4.Theoretical Background
4.3 CLIL Methodology
According to Do Coyle
(2006) CLIL, a term coined
by the European Network of
Administrators,
Researchers and
Practitioners (EUROCLIC)
in the 1990s, is a concept
that transcends the
boundaries of traditional
language education. It
involves utilising a foreign
language as a tool for the
acquisition of knowledge in
non-language subjects,
where both the subject and
the language have equal
weight.

16. 4.Theoretical Background
4.3.1 Stage 1: a shared vision for CLIL
• A shared vision for CLIL involves defining the objectives of the program,
the content and language goals, and the roles and responsibilities of all
involved parties.
4.3.2 Stage 2: analysing and personalizing the CLIL context
• CLIL should be adapted to the reality of the classroom’s context.
4.3.3 Stage 3: planning a unit
• The component of the lesson preparation and planning.
4.3.4 Stage 4: preparing the unit
• The place where, the mental concepts to elaborate the CLIL unit are
translated into tangible things like materials, resources, activities, and
tasks.

17. 4.Theoretical Background
4.3.5 Stage 5: monitoring and evaluating CLIL in action
• Coyle, Marsh, and Hood (2010) state that it is crucial at this point to
assess the processes and outcomes of a unit and monitor its
development
4.3.6 Stage 6: next steps – towards inquiry-based professional
learning communities
• In this last stage Coyle, Marsh, and Hood (2010), reflect that
teachers should join or create a professional learning community
where everyone sees themselves as learners as well as teachers.

4.4 The 4 Cs

19. 4.Theoretical Background
4.5 Active and Meaningful Learning
This idea asserts that students learn best when they actively
participate in the learning process, as opposed to passively absorbing
knowledge
4.5.1 Meaningful learning in CLIL materials: CLIL may result in
considerable language improvements in both learners' L1 and L2, as
well as higher order thinking skills, including problem-solving skills.
4.5.2 Meaningful learning in the communicative environment
classroom: exposed to new ideas and encouraged to communicate
more effectively.

20. 4.Theoretical Background
4.5.3 Meaningful learning in the social emotional learning
approach
4.5.3.1 Intentionality
4.5.3.2 The importance of the content
4.5.3.3 Authentic Work
4.5.3.4 Active inquiry (student-centred learning)
4.5.3.5 Constructing mental models
4.5.3.6 Work in groups (collaborative learning)

21. 4.Theoretical Background
4.6 Cooperative Learning
Cooperative means working together with the objective of achieving a
common purpose or benefit. For a cooperative goal, every member of the
group has clearly defined tasks

23. 4.Theoretical Background
4.7 SEL Educational Method
Social and emotional learning (SEL) is an essential aspect of education that focuses
on teaching students’ skills such as self-awareness, self-management, social
awareness, relationship skills, and responsible decision-making (Coombe et al.,
2020).

32. 6. Results And Discussion
6.1 Synopsis of the CLIL Material Design
Throughout each session, students are provided with a diverse range of
activities centred around specific emotional goals. These activities are
carefully designed to foster critical thinking and proactive engagement
with subjects related to the five core components of emotional intelligence
(EI).

33. 6. Results And Discussion
6.2 Sessions
Session 1: self-awareness
Session 2: self-regulation and motivation
Session 3: empathy
Session 4: competence in social interaction

34. 6. Results And Discussion
6.3 Justification of The Design Choices
learners are tasked with articulating scenarios that illustrate how their use of social
media can have negative impacts on their productivity, sleep, or social interactions.
6.4 Characteristics of The Level
learners at an intermediate level of B1+ are capable of comprehending standard
discourse on familiar and unfamiliar topics.
6.5 Description of the context
Promoting CLIL as a crucial component of the movement for multilingualism and
diversity permeates the other Cs, according to Coyle, P. Hood, and D. Marsh (2010)
