Notas del editor
Four skill areas: Listening, Speaking, Reading, Writing, but also need/desire to communicate
How to make science more than mere memorization? How do students aid their peers? How integrate English?
Typical lecture class, sleeping, info in one ear and out the other, taking notes for regurgitation perhaps without comprehension -- a teacher-centered lecture-style classroom. Do they start out like this? Throughout?
Attention in any class or activity quickly fades if no engagement, until the magic words “And in Conclusion...”
More than lecture, have learners receiving information through more than one “channel” and allow for preferences in learning. Learning is more than “Input”. Kinesthetic/Tactile (finger-sketching in air, etc)
Aim for English, allow some L1 to ensure they meet content-targets and use as much English as possible rather than complete communicative failure “because of one word” Negotiation of meaning
However, can’t have communicative lessons success if the test only addresses the linguistic elements (grammar & vocabulary)
ZPD & i+1 = an appropriate challenge with scaffolding (support)
Look Familiar? Csikszenmihalyi’s “Flow”
However, can’t have communicative lessons success if the test only addresses the linguistic elements (grammar & vocabulary)
Does an “ENGLISH CLASS” complement the CLIL Science class, or compete, or no relation between these two classes? Has ENGLISH CLASS been eliminated?
In-class work vs. “homework”, role of the CLIL Science class versus the English Class
Facilitator (teacher, get out of the way) How group members are selected. Regularly change group memberships (students rotate). Groups report their findings to whole class, whether groups have same or different projects
