Agenda Linking language and thinking ‘Activity’ v passive learning https://www.tigtagworld.com/ (CLIL versioning + ELTons) Classification lesson and materials Conclusion - importance of cognitive skills AND language development Sorting-selecting, comparing/contrasting, classifying, identifying

Language and thinking EFL largely concept-free (where there are concepts, they tend to be random) Anglia School themes (content AND language Integrated Learning) What is the language of classification? grouping (belongs to, is part of, comes from, goes with) sorting (agreeing and disagreeing!) comparing and contrasting (like, not like, different from, same as) Similarity and difference (has, doesn’t have / has got, hasn’t got)

An example from Bulgarian (University) What is in this text?

It’s a huge tree! Pharmaceuticals, Categories and names of drugs

A second example from Bulgarian (Gr.5)

Ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia: Similarities and differences

Structure and Language – Make it visible!

TigTagWorld – A ‘visible’ curriculum

‘Activity’ v passive learning Use ‘structure’ to create interaction and communication in lessons Which word is the ‘odd one out’? Group pictures of animals according to different characteristics (fur, teeth, legs, wings, feathers). Scientific classification tree can be used with youngest learners.

Lesson – classifying animals Warm up – what’s in my bag? Introduction - a classification tree

Fur or feathers? Skins vocabulary

Same or different? A white tiger

A zebra

A ring-tailed lemur

An American badger

Same or different? Identifying same v different characteristics Snout and fur

A new arrival at the zoo! What animal is it?

Classification game Explaining the rules Does it have glasses? Answers

Conclusions and thoughts Cognitive development AND language development Bloom and classification, compare-contrast, group discussion, agreeing-disagreeing, sorting
