Meanings that matter - vocab learning in immersion and CLIL To discuss the benefits of immersion To discover how immersion can be used to facilitate personalised vocab learning

About me Trained at The University of Reading (CLIL module) Currently Specialism Co-ordinator at the Willink School Teach ages Focus on immersion teaching

Key issues in vocab learning It’s boring! It requires effort Risk of limiting learning to lower order skills of repetition Isolated vocab – no context Not relevant to the learners How to motivate learners?

What do we want to achieve? The need to produce confident, able linguists who can use a variety of structures and vocabulary.

Immersion Teacher  pupil Pupil  Teacher Pupil  pupil +metalanguage

The benefits of immersion to vocab learning Pupils lead the learning Personalised vocab lists which are relevant to the individual Independent learning Sentences come first and then individual word level Meanings that matter to the students Confidence in language manipulation

The benefits of immersion to vocab learning continued… Immediate success in the language Patterns in vocab and pronunciation Memorisation and internalisation The role of listening to peers and peer assessment/intervention Cognates leading to synonyms

Video clip Year 7 – bottom set French group Started French in September Group of 26 Several SEN students – 2 statemented The majority of the class have below average literacy levels Typical lesson Filmed by the TA!

Key points from the clip Independently using the vocab lists Personalised lists Listening to each other Motivated to take part Pupil-led

CLIL and vocab learning CLIL – Content and Language integrated Learning Content objectives and language as a means to communicate Subject specific vocab vs the language of learning

The language of learning Similar to immersion style Using key sentences to ask for explanations or to clarify meaning Using general vocab to explain and justify ideas Vocabulary which serves a purpose

Subject specific vocab Lists of specific vocab may be necessary Key words – similar to content lessons The use of cognates

CLIL projects Geography masterclasses (10 and 11) History castles (7) PSHE fairtrade (10) P.E football (8) Science reproduction (9) P.E handball Music Food tech Drama

A combined approach Immersion Vocab tests in lessons (can be personalised) Strategies for vocab learning shared with pupils On-line resources e.g vocab express

Summary Doesn’t exclude other kinds of vocab learning Numerous benefits of immersion to vocab learning
