CLIL & Use of authentic, meaningful and challenging materials

Real materials, unlike materials made specifically for teaching, are not created with certain grammatical structures or vocabulary in mind. Instead they provide an opportunity for students to read or hear language as it is used in a real-life situation. This can help advance students’ language learning by exposing them to new vocabulary and grammatical concepts in a meaningful way.

Challenge 

Some materials can pose a challenge for beginner or even intermediate students. English language learners may have trouble with vocabulary and grammar structures in materials created for a fluent audience. To address this challenge, teachers have to plan thoughtful ways for students to interact with these materials.

Benefits

We think about authentic materials as any materials that use language to communicate information and meaning (Thomas, 2014)

...interact with English in a meaningful and relevant way, and maintain a high level of interest and motivation.

Comprehensible input = i+1

Comprehensible input is language input that can be understood by listeners despite them not understanding all the words and structures in it. It is described as one level above that of the learners if it can only just be understood. According to Krashen's theory of language acquisition, giving learners this kind of input helps them acquire language naturally, rather than learn it consciously.

How to determine (i)+1?

Will they understand me if I speak English? 

What do I need to do in order for them to understand me? 

Gradually build towards English language friendly environment.

First assessment: 

Have class respond to "what" and "where" questions?

Ask class for or respond to clarification.

How to use book?

• What do I want to teach language wise?

(- is level correct? i+1)

• What do I want teach subject wise?

(-does subject fit level/age of pupils?)

• What activity will I use to teach both?

(engaging, motivating, meaningful)

Good CLIL class: i+1 & fitting subject for age + cool activity
