CLIL
General English compared with CLIL
Subject content
CLIL: topics are directly relevant to the students
General English: some stundents may find uninspiring or irrelevant to their lives
Methodology
CLIL: focused on learning about something else rather than focusing on the language itself
General English: task-based learning
Language focus
CLIL: works with the language you need as you need it
General English: works on language you might need in case it is important at some point in the future
Approaches
Small segments of some lessons
integrating themes across school subjects
separate language support
fully integrated classrooms
can also happen outside school
CLIL concerns
language feedback to teachers
language advice to teachers
language support for students in subject lessons
language support for students in English lessons

teachers can't move easily
seating arrangement seems to prevent a number of activities
