WHAT IS CLIL?

HI everybody again!

In this case we are going to speak about what is CLIL, after reading articles about this. First it is interesting to explain what CLIL abrebation it is: CLIL: Content and Language Integrated Learning " High quality teaching and learning fit for 21st century classrooms anywhere in the world", this project sees language as the best to learn using in different purposes at different times. In an interview with David Marsh, he says that he knows a bad project, and in schools it is very important to have fun and be happy, so he started watching different exciting learnings until he found this project and children responded very well to the idea of integrated into the content learning. The future of languages teaching would be very strong. The teachers can bring it to the school community and discussing but for this to work teachers need to be looked after and to manage it properly. Teachers always think “I will never be able to teach this language”, teaching is a very tab job, but they involved who really love teaching, and who wants happy children. Besides, gave this ideas to interviewers: "CLIL refers to situations where subjects, or parts of subjects, are taught through a foreign language with dual-focussed aims, namely the learning of content, and the simultaneous learning of a foreign language'. (Marsh, 1994) "This approach involves learning subjects such as history, geography or others, through an additional language. It can be very successful in enhancing the learning of languages and other subjects, and developing in the youngsters a positive ‘can do’ attitude towards themselves as language learners. (Marsh, 2000) In conclusion as teachers if we accept language is a learning tool as well as a communication tool, then we will have to re-conceptualise our classroom practice.
