INTRODUCTION TO A CLIL LESSON
According to the British Council a CLIL lesson looks at content and language in equal measure, and often follows a four-stage framework.
- Processing the text
- Identification and organisation of knowledge
- Language identification
- Tasks for students
CLIL aims to guide language processing and support language production in the same way as ELT by teaching strategies for reading and listening and structures and lexis for spoken or written language.
What is different is that the language teacher is also the subject teacher, or that the subject teacher is also able to exploit opportunities for developing language skills.
This is the essence of the CLIL teacher training issue.
