4. CLIL... for promoting mastery or
for improving lifelong learning?
CLIL : Content and Language Integrated Learning
CLIL is a dual-focused educational approach in which
an additional language is used for the learning and
teaching of content and language with the objective of
promoting both content and language mastery to
predefined levels.
Ref: Maljers, Marsh, Wolff, Genesee, FrigolsMartín, Mehisto, (2010). http://tiny.cc/51k1dw
…and with the objective of promoting learning strategies,
creative curiosity, cognitive growth, active participation,
social engagement, active citizenship, enterpreneurship...

5. Learning about cultural assumptions and prejudices
Apple, pear, melon, cherry...
1- Can you describe some
fruits? (just 1 characteristic each)
2- Identify them, and explain
why this photo doesn’t fit your
description.
Get an agreement in pairs!
-Connectors & Comparatives
-Concepts, Observation...
-Mental representations...

6. CLIL is developing…
raising consciousness: WHAT, HOW, WHY
Educational continuity
Epistemology
Why
How
What

7. CLIL, promoted by the Council of the EU
On 25 October 2011, the Council concluded to:
“Encourage innovative forms of European co-operation,
experimentation and new approaches to language teaching and
learning, such as content and language-integrated learning
(including in bilingual schools), opportunities for language
immersion mobility and, where appropriate, more extensive use
of ICT also in creative language learning environments.”

8. CLIL for enhancing employability
The Council added:
“While general language programmes help to develop essential
communication skills for everyday use, methodologies such as
content and language-integrated learning (CLIL) in both general
education and VET can be particularly effective in enhancing the
mobility and employability of workers.”
CLIL for:
Employability, mobility, and social integration policies

9. Training for teaching CLIL
The Council proposed:
“In order to promote CLIL, teachers and trainers - in
particular in VET - should be encouraged to acquire high
quality language competences and should have access to
high quality teaching resources.”
CLIL teaching:
Training, particularly in VET, in language and advanced methodologies

23. Raising consciousness about learning
Did ancient Greeks have Laptops?
• How do you know?
• How can we prove it?
• What sources of
information can we trust?
How can we learn about
the past?

24. CLIL: embedded in Connectivist education
• Cognitive development
(Neuro Science and cognitive sciences: neuronal cortex growing
& thinking processes)
• Communication and interaction
(ZAP, MI Learning Theory, Conceptual mapping, Bloom’s)
•Network socialization and
enterpreneurship (mobility, eLearnig, LLP-
international exchanges and associations)
Connectivism in education:
• Biological approach (growing-learning processes)
• Conceptual approach (linguistic development)
• Social approach (competencial approach)
