The document discusses the CLIL (Content and Language Integrated Learning) program implemented in the Valencian community of Spain. [1] It describes how the program aims to foster multilingualism through teaching some subjects in English in addition to Spanish and Valencian. [2] It provides details on the number of hours per week devoted to CLIL instruction and the balance between language and content teaching at different school levels. [3] It also notes that schools can choose which subjects to teach via CLIL depending on teacher availability, with the exception of languages and science in primary school.
During the period of September 11th to December 12th, the school accomplished several planned project activities including having one of their logos chosen for an official website, teaching units in physics, biology, and social sciences using the CLIL method to groups of students, and taking a group of 13 students to a meeting in Luxembourg where they presented on their projects. In October, they hosted a partnership meeting at their school and arranged host families for 26 visiting students and teachers, giving the visitors a chance to learn and see the local area. The school also applied and was approved to become a multilingual school next year.
A Comenius project provided a great experience for the author by allowing them to improve their English skills through researching a topic, translating information, and creating a presentation with students from other countries including Poland, Luxembourg, Italy and Sweden. The long effort required was rewarding, as the author was able to meet new people and make friends across cultures that they have maintained contact with, which was the best outcome of the project.

The document is a presentation by Isabel Mira Tornadijo for the Comenius project "Natural Sciences Natural English" at IES Juan de Garay in Valencia, Spain on October 19, 2012. The presentation discusses using chemistry to solve the problem of used oil disposal, focusing on recycling used oil into biodiesel through transesterification. It outlines the chemical process of transesterification and how glycerin and biodiesel can be produced from used oil. The presentation promotes the 3 R's of reduce, reuse, recycle as the most positive solution and describes how biodiesel can be made in a school laboratory as an educational demonstration.
The document discusses the CLIL (Content and Language Integrated Learning) program implemented in the Valencian community of Spain. [1] It describes how the program aims to foster multilingualism through teaching some subjects in English in addition to Spanish and Valencian, the two official languages.

[3] It also notes that schools can choose which subjects to teach via CLIL, with the exception of languages and science in primary school.
Martina describes her positive experience with CLIL (Content and Language Integrated Learning), where she learned biology and physics in English. At first, she and her classmates were nervous about using English for their science classes. However, over time they gained confidence and enjoyed learning new vocabulary through colorful slides, websites, and games. Martina found the mobility experiences abroad in Luxembourg and Spain particularly enriching, as she practiced her English skills, made new friends, and visited new places while staying with host families. Overall, CLIL brought something incredible to Martina's life and she hopes to have similar learning experiences again in the future.
CLIL stands for Content and Language Integrated Learning. It is an approach where subjects are taught in a foreign language rather than the students' native language. This improves language skills while learning new content. There are many advantages to CLIL including introducing cultural contexts, improving language competencies, increasing motivation, and preparing students for future studies or careers.
CLIL (Content and Language Integrated Learning) teaching began in Italy through bilingual education programs in the Val d'Aosta region for Italian and French. The development of CLIL was later encouraged by education laws and ministerial projects in the 1990s and 2000s, which aimed to introduce the teaching of non-linguistic subjects through a foreign language. Currently, there are many ongoing CLIL programs in Italian schools, especially at the secondary level, where networks have been formed between schools and universities to conduct research and train teachers in CLIL methods.
CLIL (Content and Language Integrated Learning) teaching has a history in Italy. The autonomous region of Val d'Aosta promotes bilingual education in Italian and French according to its 1948 statute. This was designed to promote competence in the neighboring country's language and culture. Italian law has also encouraged CLIL teaching since 2002. There have been several ministerial projects implementing CLIL since the early 1990s. Current experiences focus on CLIL teaching in secondary schools, where networks have formed between schools and universities to conduct research and teacher training in various regions across Italy.
The document summarizes the results of an evaluation of a CLIL (Content and Language Integrated Learning) program from 2012. Students from Italy, Luxembourg, Poland, and Sweden were asked to rate their level of agreement with statements about an English language lesson on a scale from strongly agree to strongly disagree. The statements addressed whether the lesson made English easier to understand, speak, read and write, whether it was more interesting taught in English, and whether students wanted more topics taught in English. Graphs show the responses for each country, with most students agreeing or strongly agreeing that the lesson helped with their English skills and found it more interesting taught in English.
Majda Sumic, a 17-year-old Swedish girl, participated in a CLIL project in Valencia, Spain where she took lessons taught in English by foreign teachers and worked with teenagers from other countries. She found the experience quite beneficial, improving her English confidence and learning about other cultures, especially Spanish culture since she stayed with a Spanish family. Majda felt the CLIL approach was very valuable as it not only improved her English but also allowed her to get to know people from abroad and realize how much she had in common with them.

A. Description of the activities, 1st day, 21st Sept. 2012
The official meeting started at 9.00 a.m. on Friday, 21st September in the conference hall of
the hotel Sanvit in Sanok and it went on until dinner, with a break of about three
hours for a tour of the hosting school and a meeting with the headmaster and a
2. delegation of representatives and for an interesting documentary visit to The
Museum of Folk Architecture in Sanok.
.
The following topics were discussed:
1. Students’ mobility in Spain;
2. Topics for the new CLIL lessons;
3. Final conference.
A.1. Students’ mobility, Spain, October 2012
Mrs Santer proposed to change the activities already planned in Luxembourg and asked
for an interactive lesson; the Swedish colleagues agreed and proposed to focus the
activities in Spain on the students’ needs, to allow them to communicate and to be active
in workshops with pupils from the other countries.
After an animated discussion, all the participants came to an agreement and we
considered other possible ways to organize the activities in Spain.
The Spanish teachers had already planned and prepared a workshop for the pupils,
dealing with recycling and for this reason we all agreed in using one hour of the student’s
meeting for the laboratory activities dealing with the production of bio fuel from recycled oil,
which will be coordinated in Valencia by the Spanish teachers.
All the participants came to an agreement on the following schedule of the students’
activities in Valencia:
1 hour bio fuel lab
20 minutes short introduction of the topics of discussion (made by
the teachers)
2 hours Pupils’ discussion on an assigned topic
1 hour Production of material (posters, leaflets, Ppt Presentations,
Slideshows, etc. ).
We decided together to find an umbrella subject and we agreed on the “Sustainable
development”.
We also chose six topics of discussion for the pupils’ activities in Valencia and we
decided to make six international discussion groups, each of them focusing on one of the
chosen topics.
3. We chose the following topics:
1. Recycling;
2. Ecosystems;
3. Energy;
4. Socialization;
5. Population growth, exploitation, food;
6. Social aspects of the sustainable development.
Keeping in mind that in Valencia there will be 31 participating pupils, we also set the
international discussion groups as follows:
1. Recycling (1 Swedish, 1 Spanish, 2 Luxembourgish, 1 Polish, 1 Italian)
2. Ecosystems (2 Luxembourgish, 2 Swedish)
3. Energy (1 Luxembourgish, 1 Spanish, 1 Swedish, 1 Polish, 1 Italian)
4. Socialization (1 Polish, 1 Italian, 2 Luxembourgish, 1 Swedish)
5. Population growth, exploitation, food (1 Italian, 1 Spanish, 2 Luxembourgish, 1
Swedish)
6. Social aspects of the sustainable development (2 Luxembourgish, 1 Spanish, 1
Italian, 1 Swedish).
The coordinator proposed to give some guide – documents to the pupils, in order to help
them to find ideas and cues for discussion and to extend the time of the debate.
Everybody agreed and we decided to postpone the conversation on the documents to the
following day.
A.2. Topics for the new CLIL lessons
We discussed about the subjects for the CLIL lessons in each of the participating schools
and we jointly decided that Italy, Spain and Sweden will make CLIL lessons in Biology.
Italy, Luxembourg, Poland and Sweden will make CLIL lessons is Physics.
Social Sciences will be involved transversally in the CLIL activities, focusing on the
umbrella topic “Sustainable Development”, because we believe that the ability to think
laterally and other 'transversal' skills have to be valued more than the specific bodies of
4. knowledge that schools have traditionally taught.
After that, we examined together our Biology and Physics syllabi and, comparing them, we
chose one didactic unit to be developed by the biology teachers and one unit to be
elaborated by the Physics teachers in the course of this school-year.
The topic chosen for the Physics lessons is energy.
The topic which the Biology teachers have decided to deal with is “Biological
sustainable development”.
A.3. Final conference
The coordinator opened the discussion about the final conference, pointing out that the
activity had been planned in the application form and it should be considered a sort of
dissemination of the project’s experiences and results.
For this reason the coordinator said that the organization of the conference and its
expenses should be equally divided among the partners who had already been invited
during the previous meetings, to budget for this type of common activities.
In order to hold down the costs for the final conference, the coordinator proposed to
choose its location depending on the prices for the services and material needed,
explaining that for a conference we would need a well equipped conference room of
adequate size, some experts to give lectures on CLIL, adequate accommodation for the
international participants and all the printout needed to promote the conference itself and
to disseminate the results of the project.
Mr Andreasson proposed to open the discussion again in Spain, arriving to the meeting
with the expected costs in each of the countries, to decide together which of the solutions
would be the most convenient.
We decided to postpone the discussion about the details of the final conference to the
following day.
B. Description of the activities, 2nd day, 22nd Sept. 2012
The second day of the meeting was in part used to visit some of the host organization’s
representative places.
We spent the morning in Solina, where we had a guided tour of the huge dam and of the
5. largest hydroelectric plant in Poland. We could also admire Poland's largest artificial lake,
Solina, in the Bieszczady Mountains region.
In the afternoon the activities continued in the conference room; the following topics were
discussed:
1. Activities in Spain and workshops;
2. Website of the project;
3. Final conference and last meeting;
4. Dissemination of the results;
5. Statistics.
B.1. Activities in Spain and workshops, October 2012
The coordinator reopened the dialogue on the guide documents to be given to the pupils in
order to help them to find ideas and cues for discussion during the workshops in Valencia.
We decided to give each international group of pupils, a folder containing minimum 3
and maximum 5 documents of various kinds, of which maximum 3 articles, that
shouldn’t be too long and should fit the students’ skills in English.
We resolved to prepare the documents to be provided to students, dividing work as
follows:
1. Italy: Recycling, Social aspects of sustainable development (historical,
economical);
2. Sweden: Energy; Population growth, exploitation, food;
3. Luxembourg: Ecosystems;
4. Poland: Socialization.
We fixed the deadline to send the material to Mr Stanek (martinstane@gmail.com), who
will collect and publish it on our website before the meeting in Valencia. The documents
must be sent by Monday, 8th October 2012.
Mr Andreasson asked the Spanish delegation to know something about the program of the
activities in Spain.
Mrs Ramos explained that her school is closed on Saturdays and there’s no way to keep it
open for the activities of the project. Since most of the participants will arrive in Valencia
on Thursday evening, the workshops must be done on Friday.
6. On Friday the participants will also go to the city hall to be received by some
representatives of the local authorities.
For this reason, after a brief discussion, we accepted the Spanish proposal to group the
students’ workshops in a day (Friday) and to use the other days of the meeting to visit the
most representative places of the town.
The timetable of the meeting in Valencia will follow approximately this pattern:
Friday 19th October 2012
8.15 – 9.15: Bio fuel lab;
Later in the morning: City Hall and meeting with the local authorities;
Lunch at school;
In the afternoon: Student’s workshops for about 4 hours respecting the times allocated to
discussion (A.1. of this report).
Saturday 20th October 2012
Morning: Documentary visit of the town;
Afternoon: Visit of the City of Arts and Sciences in Valencia, which is a unique complex
devoted to scientific and cultural dissemination, made up of five main elements: the
Hemisfèric (IMAX cinema and digital projections), the Umbracle (a landscaped vantage
point and car park), the Príncipe Felipe Science Museum (an innovative centre of
interactive science), the Oceanográfico (the largest aquarium in Europe with over 500
marine species) and the Palau de les Arts Reina Sofía.
Mrs Ramos informed the colleagues that the ticket to get into the City of Arts and
Sciences is about 25 euro and that the students will have to pay it by themselves.
Sunday 21st October
(For the delegations who will stay in Valencia)
Mrs Ponce Candel will inform us of other cultural attractions near Valencia.
The coordinator asked the Spanish delegation to inform all the participants as soon as
possible of the expected costs of the meeting (entrance fee for the museums and places
of interest, teachers’ accommodation, students’ meals; transports and all the other
7. possible expenses) and of the accommodation of the students in the host families.
The coordinator also asked Mrs Ramos if she foresaw some problems linked to the fact
that the Italian delegation will stay in Spain for one day longer than the others; Mrs Ramos
kindly answered that they will be happy to host the Italian group for one more day.
B. 2. The website of the project
The coordinator invited all the participants to give Mr Marcin Stanek the material that had
to be uploaded on the site, namely the CLIL lessons and the worksheets prepared and
used with students, last year. The coordinator also asked the colleagues to send the
material produced for the project, as soon as it is used in classes, in order to have a
constantly uploaded and always original and interesting website of the project.
The Italian, Spanish and Luxembourgish delegation gave the new material to the
responsible of the website, Mrs Santer informed the participants that she would have sent
it by email in a few days.
B.3. Final conference and last meeting
We reconsidered the idea of organizing the final conference in another place than Italy (as
had been planned during the first teachers’ meeting in Sweden), but only the Swedish
colleagues declared their willingness to host it. Hence, considered the high costs of the
flights to Sweden, we decided to host the final meeting and conference in Italy from 18th
(Thursday, arrival) to 21st (Sunday, departure) April, 2013.
The conference will be done on Friday 19th.
Saturday 20th will be dedicated to the teachers’ meeting, to make the final evaluation and
to write together the final report of the partnership.
The coordinator proposed again to share the costs of the conference which, she said,
could be very high. The Spanish delegation declared that they don’t have money left for
the final conference, because they didn’t know its costs would be shared.
The Polish stated the same.
The coordinator reminded the partners that she had informed them more then once (both
in Sweden and in Italy) of the need to keep a certain amount of money for the joint
dissemination of the results of the partnership and she said that the final conference, in
her opinion, should be considered one of the most important steps of the dissemination.
8. A long and animated discussion followed: Sweden and Luxembourg declared themselves
ready to contribute to the expenses for the conference, Poland and Spain didn’t change
their opinion.
We decided to reduce the costs of the final conference, asking for local experts who will
not be paid for their participation and changing the idea of the conference itself.
It will be considered the final act of our partnership: the involved pupils and teachers will
report their experiences and the results of the activities.
At least one teacher and one student for each of the participating institutions will be asked
to report during the conference and to contribute significantly to its success.
The details of the organization and of the time for each speech, will be communicated by
the coordinator to the participants.
B.4. Dissemination of the results
The coordinator pointed out the importance of a good dissemination of the results of the
partnership and asked the participants to think about a strategy to call attention to the last
achievements of the pupils and of the teachers.
We thought about leaflets and brochures. The coordinator also proposed a DVD with all
the CLIL lessons and the material made by the teachers in the two years of the
partnership, but the Spanish colleagues observed that all the material is already available
on our website, ready to be downloaded by the interested subjects.
For this reason, we decided together to publish a special type of planner, which could be
used by teachers and students to note down their homework or their daily activities. We
will add to this planner some articles, curiosities, photos and statistics dealing with our
partnership.
After a long discussion we decided to include the following elements in the planner and to
distribute the tasks as follows.
The planner will contain:
1. (On the cover) Logos of the project, the names of the school, the maps of the
participating countries and their flags, the Comenius logo and the disclaimer Poland;
2. A general idea of CLIL (what is CLIL and which are its advantages?) Mrs Mauro
Nicolino, Italy;
3. The situation of the CLIL teaching in the participating countries Each nation will
9. write its part;
4. What has been done and the main achievements of the partnership Spain;
5. The lyrics of the song composed by the Polish students for the partnership
Poland;
6. Links to the agencies or the institutions that are important for the CLIL Each nation
will write its part, with four or five links;
7. Interviews to the participating pupils (one for each country of about 4 or five lines)
Each nation will write its part;
8. Statistics (one for each country and the general one; results of the surveys done after
the two students’ mobilities) Sweden;
9. Crosswords Luxembourg;
10. Conclusions Mr Andreasson, Sweden.
The Polish will provide the layout of the planner and each school will print and distribute it.
The final and complete version of the planner will have to be ready for print by the end of
February 2013, for this reason all the partners will have to send the material to Mr Stanek
(martinstane@gmail.com) by 24th December 2012.
