GUIDED ACTIVITY 2 (15%)

● AG2: lesson plan for a CLIL session.

*IMPORTANT: Once you are explained what AG2 consists of, you will be able to develop it
progressively throughout the course. Some days you will be given time to work in class so that you can
incorporate all the elements we study into your lesson plan.

GUIDED ACTIVITY 2

● AG2: lesson plan for a CLIL session.

You are expected to develop a lesson plan and detail all the activities and materials that you would use.
In order to do so, you will progressively incorporate all the elements we see in class. For example:

- Seminar 2 is about the criteria we should follow to choose/design CLIL materials - Please use
them for these activities.
- Forum 1 is about diversity: make sure you consider it.
- Some other sessions will deal with planning procedures and techniques - they will be useful to plan
your own session.

You will be given some time at the end of most of the sessions to incorporate what you have learnt.

What is diversity?

02/12/2020
05MEDB

Types of diversity in CLIL

● Linguistic: Mixed-level classrooms (also L1 abilities)

● Cultural: complex whole which includes knowledge, beliefs, arts, morals, laws, customs,
and any other capabilities and habits acquired by [a human] as a member of society”,
and declares it an inalienable human right (UNESCO, 2001, Universal Declaration on
Cultural Diversity, Article 4).
● Motivational: responsible for why - how long - how hard (Dörnyei & Ushioda, 2013)

02/12/2020
05MEDB

What can teachers do to promote motivation?

● Combine different types of assessment (formative, summative, peer, teacher, and

so on) and tools (rubrics, observation, portfolios, etc.).
● Individual, pair and group work, collaborative and competitive work.
● Variety of tasks and materials.

We should consider different learning styles

and multiple intelligences.

Howard Gardner’s Theory of
Multiple Intelligences (1983)
★ 1. Linguistic.
★ 2. Logical-mathematical.
★ 3. Musical.
★ 4. Spatial.
★ 5. Bodily-kinesthetic.
★ 6. Naturalistic.
★ 7. Interpersonal.
★ 8. Intrapersonal.
★ 9. Existential.

Lesson plans need to give

room to different motivations, cultures and language
abilities, need to be flexible enough to cater for
a variety of preferences without losing sight of the
common objectives to be reached.

3.2.2. Scaffolding vs differentiation

● Scaffolding: the same content

materials broken down into digestible
chunks.
● Differentiation: different materials to
different (groups) of students.

What is multimodality?

3.2.3. Multimodality

● To provide a message through

various channels (visual, oral,
written, spatial etc).

● Suitable for different learning

styles and intelligences.

● Lo & Lin (2015) include L1, L2,

different registers.

3.2.5. Cooperative methodologies

Group work
Collaborative learning
★ Advantages:
★ 1. Increased opportunities for practicing the target language. Cooperative learning

★ 2. Improved quality of conversations among students, since face-to-

face communication in a small group is a natural communicative
situation.
★ 3. A positive affective atmosphere.
★ 4. A source for student motivation.
★ Casal (2010): synergies foster self-esteem, task comprehension and
social cohesion.

Basic motivational conditions: Maintaining motivation: varying

good teacher – student materials, tasks and channels,
rapport, a safe classroom setting specific goals, giving praise,
environment and a cohesive relating tasks to students’
student group. experience, and so on.

Positive retrospective self-

Initial motivation: strategies evaluation: motivational feedback,
to overcome negative attributing failure to effort (not to
predisposition ability)

Focus on the language

e.g. New student coming from a non-CLIL background.

- interdisciplinary collaboration e.g. diagnostic test: BICS and CALP,

- try to offer them some extramural exposure (e.g. films, mini-youtube clips for language-catch-up e.g. make-up if that is what
interests them),
- find materials for different achievers,
- learner-centred methodologies (PBL, TBLT),
- grouping and modalities variation,
- scaffolding techniques.
- Assessment: personalised objectives depending on starting level, rubrics, vary gading criteria to cater for different abilities,
self/co assessment.
- Also ongoing assessment: provide regular feedback, provide different homework/summative:different types of exams.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e4_ckqbetNU.
3. Then write a 150-200 word forum post, indicating (1) whether you agree or disagree with Katherine Bilsborough and
why, (2) which type of diversity you find most challenging, (3) which teaching strategy you would use to cater to
this type of diversity and (4) giving an example from your real experience as a teacher or student or a hypothetical
situation of a problematic situation and how you solved /would solve it.
4. Reply to another student’s forum post with practical advice on how you would have dealt with the problem
described.
5. Make sure you include references to useful sources you have consulted at some point, either in your original post or
in your reply to another student's post.

Open and analyze the document “Material CLIL AG1”. It is a CLIL Unit GUIDELINES
called “The Universe” (5th grade).

You will have to analyse this unit from the point of view of the 4Cs,
focusing on their presence or absence.

When necessary, try to explain how you would incorporate the

missing elements or how you would improve this unit from the
perspective of the 4Cs.

GUIDED ACTIVITY 1

GO TO ACTIVIDADES
Guiding questions which you can use (illustrative): FOR FURTHER
GUIDELINES
Content - Identify the content. Is it properly sequenced?

Cognition - Are tasks limited to LOTS or do they promote HOTS? Are

learners encouraged to reflect on their own learning?

Communication - Identify the language of, for and through learning.

Are CALP and literacy developed? Is language being scaffolded?

Culture - Does this unit include culture, cultural awareness and

interculturality?

If you have detected some deficiencies or limitations, please specify

how you would improve this unit.
