Editor's Notes

  • #4 Answers: 1,4,6,7,9,10,11,14 Read Appendix 1 and 2 What is CLIL and Defining CLIL parameters.
  • #5 http://www.ccn-clil.eu/index.php?name=File&nodeIDX=5060
  • #19 Some ideas for activity types at the orientation stage Associating, predicting, guessing, inferring, spotting sth different, finding similarities/differences, recognizing (circling, highliting, underlining, matching, numbering, removing) defining ( labeling, completing sentence starters, a chart), ticking/crossing out, ordering, classifying, completing, memorizing, recalling from memories and experiences, bringing personal photos/objects/pets/plants to class, finishing a sentence/drawing, miming, copying. Support porvided by teacher: Using BICS (Basic interpersonal communication skills) Eliciting, brainstorming, triggering,asking, prompting, repeating giving examples, using L1,ranking/sequencing key words, using graphs, using realia, miming, involving students in a hands-on self- explanatory activity, showing a video/ listening to music, supplying key words, visual support, suggested websites and ICTools.
