This presentation explores the varieties of Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) programmes that go under this umbrella term and explains the original four Cs of CLIL: content, communication, culture and cognition. The advantages and disadvantages of implementing a CLIL approach in the curriculum will be compared and some of the learning strategies to develop the cognitive domain while teaching a foreign language will be explained. The changes required in terms of professional development for teachers and changing roles for students will be explored and the efficacy of introducing a CLIL approach for bilingualism in a globalised world will be promoted.
Diversity, Inclusion and the Learning, Speaking Body in the Empty SpaceSusan Hillyard
This presentation explains the development and refinement of the programme English in Action, now established in 20 remedial schools in the City of Buenos Aires, including hospital schools, orphanages and a school for wheel chair users. The theoretical background, based on the notion of The Speaking, Learning Body in the Empty Space and the pioneering work of Heathcote’s Educational Drama, will be discussed and some practical activities will be experienced by the participants.

This is a summary of an essentially practical session for dealing with discipline differences in the middle years. Drama is used as a means to train students in conflict resolution techniques and explore their own emotions and reactions. Fight techniques are developed, confrontations improvised and characters in crowd scenes role played.
Introduction: Are You a Manager or a Leader?Susan Hillyard
This introductory workshop for coordinators and heads of departments, compares new leadership skills with old management skills in the administrative office. We will look at existing structures and consider the current calls for change in educational settings. We will analyse the needs of organizations, the nature of the change process and question to what extent you and your school are on the change-ready paradigm. We will examine a number of theories through the reflective process and look at the notion of creative leadership.The thrust is on forging sound relationships through listening, developing a system of effective communication and modelling natural authority rather than authority by position.

Story sacks for Teaching English through Drama in the Primary ClassSusan Hillyard
This presentation shows the development of a team of teachers in Special Education in Argentina in designing a StorySack each to teach English through Drama for inclusion. It explores the rationale and shows the contents of the StorySack including types of activities used in ELT.
Creating Spheres of Interculturality through Paerformative ActivitySusan Hillyard
Performativity will be shown to replace more abstract conceptions of language as a structure of meaning or as a symbol system and one way of introducing the concept of spheres of interculturality into ELT. The emphasis will be on the role of language in the concrete, particular transactions of the speaking body in specific contexts and in specific moments of time. It focuses on language as action, and also on meaning as the effect of embodied processes of meaning-making.
This workshop explores the need to use English, with above beginners, as a global language to examine global issues through the practice of critical, comparative, and creative thinking skills related to social values. The framework is based on Robert Fisher’s language learning model of the interrelatedness of reading, writing, listening, speaking, input, output and metacognition. In this awareness raising session the basic tenet underpinning the action is We are all the Same, We are all Different with the emphasis on teaching for diversity. Questioning ourselves comes before questioning the students, and changing our perceptions is a necessary first step. There will be some theory and plenty of activity.
This experiential workshop considers dramatic techniques and games to help students to enjoy literature, to understand more and to develop competent literacy skills. The aim is to offer teachers the tools to lift the text off the page so that it becomes "live" for the students in a meaningful fashion. The kinaesthetic approach, collaborative group work, thematic studies, presentation techniques and interactive learning and teaching will be modelled. By the end of the session the participants should have new ways of approaching literature classes and a number of adaptable practical techniques for classroom use whatever the material or age of the students. The teachers should be able to make literature live for their students.
Games for the 21st Century Creative Learner: Use it or Lose it!Susan Hillyard
This presentation, on creative games in the language classroom, will explore teacher beliefs about the nature of creativity, break down myths about creativity being difficult and only for the gifted few and will suggest strategies for getting students started on the process of creative speaking. There will be lots of strategies modelled for teachers to find their creative selves and to tap into the creative nature of all students. This will be a reflective plenary which will offer teachers food for thought for changing their classroom practice.
Teaching English as a Challenge.
This experiential workshop relates the theory and practice of a programme, English in Action, teaching English through Drama, designed especially for the Ministry of Education’s Special Education department in the City of Buenos Aires, Argentina.
The specific needs and challenges of the population of the 500 students currently in the programme are outlined, from students with ADHD, phobia, emotional trauma, or dyslexia to wheel chair users and students confined to their houses or hospitals with terminal diseases.
The theory will be briefly explained, based on sound evidence, while plenty of practice will serve to illustrate the efficacy of the methodology. The participants will leave with ideas for planning the why, the what and the how of teaching English to students with a challenging range of learning difficulties.
An extensive webography and bibliography will be provided.
PLCs for a Change? Setting up and Maintaining a Professional Learning Communi...Susan Hillyard
In this workshop we will explore the meaning of “Professional Learning Communities”, analyse a number of models and consider the value of planning and launching a PLC in the context of the ICPNA school environment. We will define PLCs and why they are considered to be important, basing some of these concepts on recent theories of connectivism and trust. Leadership will be seen as a shared experience in a change-ready school. The skills for motivating and inspiring a whole school culture through reference to Maslow and McGregor will be examined while the concept of both Heads and Teachers as learners in their own right will be stressed. Finally, strategies for launching a PLC in your school will be discussed.
It has become widely understood that effective language learning involves more than the four integrated skills of ELT. The missing link is the fifth dimension ........that of teaching thinking. This PIPP will explore the cognitive processes employed by learners in a drama lesson and see how they relate to the development of higher order thinking skills. Reference will be made to Fisher's model of language learning, Heathcote's premise that drama IS education, Baldwin’s cross reference chart and Cummins´ quadrant of cognitive processes. There will be some theory and lots of activity.

Is there any instructional method to teach content through English as a foreign language?
Different Approaches to an Instructional Model

Vàrem iniciar un blog a internet amb la intencióIniciamos un blog en internet con la intención de aumentar la motivación de nuestros alumnos por lo que se refiere a la impartición de contenidos en una lengua extranjera (AICLE-CLIL) y posibilitar que pudiesen seguir los aprendizajes desde casa mediante internet. Además, nuestra idea era la de servir como fuente de recursos para otros maestros que estén impartiendo AICLE. Pretèn ser una eina útil per al professorat, com a banc de recursos i idees que fan referència a la impartició de l’àrea de Medi Natural en anglès al cicle mitjà i superior d’educació primària. CLIL (Content and Language Integrated Learning) o AICLE (Aprenentatge Integrat de Contingut i Llengua Estrangera) fa referència a les situacions en què tota una àrea o una part d’aquesta s’ensenya mitjançant una llengua estrangera amb l’objectiu doble d’estudiar els continguts propis de l’àrea i l’aprenentatge simultani de la llengua estrangera.
Enriching Vocabulary to the Students of English as Second Language Learners (...Naresh Arruri
This paper focuses on enriching vocabulary to the students of the English as Second
Language learner (ESL) through the approach Content–Integrated–Language–Learning
(CILL). Previously many approaches have been developed, such as language across
curriculum, task based instruction, activity based communicating (ABC model) instruction,
content based instruction and immersion programmes etc. In this paper I shall present a
model for learning Vocabulary of English as Second Language Learner through his/her
preferred content.
Content with your Content? Why Teach Global Issues in ELT?Susan Hillyard
The first part of this paper aims to examine the concept of the globalised world from a number of different angles and poses questions related to the relevance and validity of the curriculum currently presented to EFL students. A number of methodological suggestions related to the field of education with a big E will be observed such as motivation, metacognition, learner autonomy, use of widely accessible resources and “The University of Life”. Thus the role of the teacher in ELT will shift towards that of faclitator and educator, raising awareness in self and in students of the need to become global citizens who are lifelong learners and putting the learner at the centre of the educational process. The second part of this paper examines the overriding factor of using English as a global language to examine global issues through the practice of critical, comparative and creative thinking skills. The framework for the paper is based on Robert Fisher’s thinking skills language learning model.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

10. What is CLIL?
„CLIL is an approach in which a foreign
language is used as a tool in the
learning of a non-language
subject in which both language and the
subject have a joint role.‟
(Marsh in Coyle, 2006).
11. Marsh describes CLIL as
„any dual-focused educational context in
which an additional language, thus not
usually the first language of the learners
involved, is used as a medium in the
teaching and learning of non-language
content‟.
(2002:15)
12. 50% Language support
50% Subject Matter
Subject T teaches in English (L2) not
L1
ELTeacher teaches a subject e.g
Science, Art, PE, Social Sts, Literature
Good practice: Teaching /Learning
theory
Interactive T and L
Scaffolding for both C and L
Use of graphics, FHEs, multimedia
13. Some CLIL Strategies
activating
visualisations
note taking/genre writing/MoE
running dictation
right hand/left hand
split questions
matching pictures
15. The Four Cs
Content - Progression in knowledge, skills and
understanding related to specific elements of a
defined curriculum
Communication - Using language to learn
whilst learning to use language
Cognition - Developing thinking skills which
link concept formation (abstract and concrete),
understanding and language
Culture - Exposure to alternative perspectives
and shared understandings, which deepen
awareness of otherness and self.
16. The “ World
English Project”
…….a new orthodoxy
appears to have taken
root in the last few years
which could be
described as „The World
English Project‟. If this
project succeeds, it could
generate over 2 billion
new speakers of English
within a decade.
Graddol D. 2006 English Next
19. “Content and language integrated
learning (CLIL) has emerged as a
significant curriculum trend in Europe.
Similar approaches are now used,
under different names, in many
countries.”
Graddol D. 2006
20. CLIL Contexts around the World
Monolingual: Students in home country learning a subject
through CLIL. Some students may be non-native speakers.
(e.g. Slovenia)
Bilingual: students learn 50 % or more curricular subjects in
a second or foreign language (The Netherlands, private
bilingual schools in Argentina)
Multilingual: students learn curriculum subjects in three or
more languages (Basque Country, Cataluña)
Plurilingual: students learn several languages, one or more
of which may be through CLIL. (Australia)
Light: English language teachers introduce subject topics
into ELT
22. CLIL Essentials 1
NO direct language teaching in terms of
grammar and vocabulary lists out of
context. All language must be
EXTRACTED from the
texts/literature/ information and
scaffolded using graphic
organisers/preteaching/
substitution tables.
23. CLIL Essentials 2
The Task:
…….a piece of classroom work which
involves learners in comprehending,
manipulating, producing or interacting
in the target language while their
attention is principally focused on
meaning rather than form…. Nunan 88
30. CE 6: Graphic Organisers
Focus the brain on deeper understanding
Organise thoughts
Are brain friendly (ie not linear)
Encompass whole concepts without using too
many words
Appeal to the spatially intelligent
Appeal to the visual learner
Encourage Sts to use different channels of learning
