These last lessons we have been dealing with CLIL (Content
and Language Integrated Learning). Our teacher suggests that the best way to
use this methodological approach is through project work.
CLIL is a very useful approach to teach, since you are teaching
language and content at the same time. If you feel comfortable teaching through
CLIL, your students will perceive that positively and they will probably enjoy
the process and will not be reluctant to learn contents in English.
On the other hand, if we want to be successful, all the teachers
should be involved in the project. If this is the case, the English teacher can
focus on more or less peripheral aspects of the project.
When planning a project, as the one we need to plan for our
microteaching, we have to think about some important aspects:
- Aims
- Competences
- Concepts (language and content)
- How to introduce the topic
- Stages of the project
- Materials
- Assessment
- Activities, tasks and worksheets
Tasks cannot be isolated; they need to follow a structure. There
should be warm up activities, middle activities and a final task. The
activities should be assessed.
