Slides from a workshop at the Primary Languages Conference hosted by Network for Languages London, 16 November 2013. The workshop was led by Kathy Wicksteed and Pippa Jacobs on behalf of the Institut Français.
This document discusses changing perspectives on literacy in primary education from "the old" to "the new". It describes how literacy was traditionally taught as isolated skills but now emphasizes diverse communicative practices. It outlines several projects a teacher implemented that incorporated popular culture, virtual connections, and critical analysis to make literacy more meaningful to students. The implications are that literacy learning works best when embedded in real-world contexts and allows students to develop skills for success in today's world.
This document discusses ways to localize global English language coursebooks to make them more relevant for students. It suggests that teachers can localize content by [1] rooting explanations in local culture through examples, [2] personalizing speaking tasks and questions to relate to students' lives, and [3] translating vocabulary and phrases to validate students' local languages. The document also emphasizes the importance of teachers modeling language use and tailoring texts with local-based discussion questions. Localizing coursebooks in these ways can help students see how English relates to their own realities and cultures.
This document summarizes a school project called "Take One Picture 2010" where students at Milbourne Lodge Prep School created various art and technology projects based on the painting "Tobias and the Angel". Over 150 students from ages 4-13 participated in creating tactile books, paintings, animations, games and other projects focused on visual impairment to gain understanding. They learned from organizations supporting the blind and took a field trip to the National Gallery to study the original painting. The projects were designed to be cross-curricular and help students research independently.
This document summarizes an educational linguistic project at a school with 1200 students aged 3 to 12. It teaches in Catalan, English, and Spanish using various methods. In infant school (ages 3-6), students have Catalan and English classes. In primary school (ages 6-12), students learn those languages plus Spanish. English is taught through play, stories, games, and drama to develop communication skills. Class times and activities are tailored based on age level, including snack/lunch periods and playground games in English starting in infant school.

Presentation at the Texas Foreign Language Association 2013 Fall Conference
Abstract: Spanish teachers demonstrate their uses of the Spin TX Video Archive—a free and open collection of video interviews with bilingual Spanish speakers in Texas. Teachers discuss how they use the Spin TX videos to create standards-based lessons that focus on authentic, conversational Spanish. In particular, the teachers will show that the SpinTX videos capture language in context and demonstrate the linguistic and cultural diversity of the Spanish-speaking world. Lesson plans based on the SpinTX videos include elements that lead to deeper language learning: thinking critically about language/culture problems, working collaboratively, and learning how to learn.
In this webinar, participants will learn about discovery and language enrichment-based writing activities designed to increase student interaction, support differentiation of instruction, multiple learning styles, and both a content-based and language-based focus.
This webinar for English language teachers was hosted by the Regional English Language Office at the US Embassy in Peru.

A Visual Guide to 1 Samuel | A Tale of Two HeartsSteve Thomason
These slides walk through the story of 1 Samuel. Samuel is the last judge of Israel. The people reject God and want a king. Saul is anointed as the first king, but he is not a good king. David, the shepherd boy is anointed and Saul is envious of him. David shows honor while Saul continues to self destruct.
How to Manage Reception Report in Odoo 17Celine George
A business may deal with both sales and purchases occasionally. They buy things from vendors and then sell them to their customers. Such dealings can be confusing at times. Because multiple clients may inquire about the same product at the same time, after purchasing those products, customers must be assigned to them. Odoo has a tool called Reception Report that can be used to complete this assignment. By enabling this, a reception report comes automatically after confirming a receipt, from which we can assign products to orders.

“Content and language integrated learning”
• …describes a pedagogic
approach in which language
and subject area content are
learnt in combination.
• ….language is used as a tool to develop new
learning from a subject area or from a theme
with whole school relevance.
(CLIL National Statement and Guidelines July 2009.

4. The topic dictates the language learning
What is different about CLIL is that it is the subject
that is being taught. Language is indeed learned,
because it is being used, but it is not being ‘taught’.
The teacher’s view: “I am teaching a subject, not a
language, but the way I have planned the lesson
enables the children to use French to learn.”
The child’s view: “I am learning a subject, not a
language, but I am improving my French at the
same time.”

17. The KS2 national curriculum for languages aims to
ensure that all pupils:
• understand and respond to spoken and written language
from a variety of authentic sources
• speak with increasing confidence, fluency and spontaneity,
finding ways of communicating what they want to say,
including through discussion and asking questions, and
continually improving the accuracy of their pronunciation and
intonation
• can write at varying length, for different purposes and
audiences, using the variety of grammatical structures that
they have learnt
• discover and develop an appreciation of a range of writing in
the language studied.

18. How CLIL links to the new programme of study
• Listening – new content gives pupils added
incentive to listen closely.
• Reading – pupils can experience a wide range of
text types according to the content of the subject
being taught and authentic texts can be exploited.
• Speaking - engaging in conversation, asking and
answering questions and expressing opinions can
have more real meaning within the CLIL classroom.
• Writing –the subject learned gives a reason for
writing, for adapting phrases to express ideas
clearly.
