The CLIL approach guides language processing supports language production Teaches language learning through use Science Across the World –

Ideational Frameworks Flow diagrams –Sequenced thinking Historical events, timelines Instructions Processes Tabular diagrams –Characterisation Soils, their situations and descriptions Types of cells, structure, function and location Tree diagrams –Categorisation Holinotropic medical substances Typical Englishmen starbursts – combinations –Ethnic groups and their descriptions The grammar is in the diagram man.ac.uk

Sequenced thinking

Types of listening activitiy Listen and label a diagram/picture/map/graph/chart Listen and fill in a table Listen and make notes on specific information (dates, figures, times, teachers lecture on a topic) Listen and rearrange information/reorder information Listen and identify location/speakers/places Listen and label the stages of a process/instructions/sequences of a text Listen and fill in the gaps in a text The semi-script Geddes, 78

Types of Speaking Activities Question loops – questions and answers, terms and definitions, halves of sentences, can be exploited to create a question loop. Info gap – students must speak to each other to fill in the missing information from their diagram with questions sheet to support. Trivia search – three things you know and three things you want to know with support for making questions. Word guessing games – Teams have one minute to guess as many words as possible and get one point for each correct guess. Class surveys – use questionnaires to guide pupils in asking set questions of their classmates. 20 Questions – provide language support frame for questions. Speaker can only say yes or no in answer and pupils only get 20 questions to get the answer right. Making presentations/talking from a prompt – instruct pupils to present information from a visual using language support handout. Support sheets are key
