CLIL for Visual Arts and Crafts

What is CLIL ?

A. Valentina Franco Lizarazo

CLIL (Content and Language Integrated Learning) 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 (Marsh & Wolff, 2007).

How does CLIL work ?

Linguistic Competence in English

Why 3rd level ?

Language

Content

  • The basis of the grammar knowledge in L1 is almost complete.
  • Children are better at thinking about language: synonyms, categorization, and figurative language are some of their new language skills.
  • Children’s cognitive, phonological, and language skills should be good enough to allow them to learn new information: they can listen, read, write and speak.
  • These skills are transferable to the new language learning context.
  • Curricular contents of Visuals Arts and that of English are similar.

Implementation of the Proposal

Conclusions

Practical Experience

  • One of the key conditions to implement a CLIL project is that it is also a school project. A close collaboration between the tutor or the content teacher and the English teachers is absolutely necessary.
  • This collaboration should include a strong connection between the English class program and the content class program, following an interconnected planning.
  • CLIL can improve motivation for both: content and language learning.
  • CLIL program requires a strong teacher’s commitment in order to design, prepare, create and rebuild lesson plans and materials.
