MORE ABOUT CLIL:

​

CLIL stands for "Content and language integrated learning" in which students learn subject content through a foreign language, different to their mother tongue's.  

 

English is the most common foreign language used in our country, but also, French, Italian or Spanish is used in the European and in the rest of the world.

 

CLIL is based on 4 principles that every CLIL teacher cannot forget. These principles are the following: 

​

• CONTENT: refers to the basic knowledge being taught to and learned by the students in any given lesson. In this component, we must carefully consider aspects such as: “What are going to teach, what we want them to learn, what are the learning/teaching objectives?”.

​

• COGNITION: refers to the development of critical thinking skills, metacognitive skills that allows learners to internalize and assimilate better what they are learning being challenged  both linguistically and by the subject of matter. This requires teachers to ask questions that stimulates students to think further.

​

• COMMUNICATION: students will need to use and put in practice language in different format, written, oral, listening, reading and so on. This requires that students are familiar with the use of the correct vocabulary according to the different topic of the subject. It also ask social interaction and active communication that requires echange and transformation of their previous knowledge.

​

• CULTURE: it means that students learn both about their own culture while studying another culture (english culture in case of english language).Therefore,it refers to the development of intercultural understanding, social global values and citizenship.
