- The Bilingual Classroom: CLIL as a pathway for cross-curricular and translingual classroom practices -
Free webinar by Asociación Enseñanza Bilingüe
19th May 2022, 5 p.m. (Lisbon time)
Speaker: Dr. Xabier San Isidro-Smith – Consejería de Educación - Madrid
CLIL principles are built on two key founding messages. First, CLIL requires teaching through —not in— the language. There is a fundamental difference. When we teach through a language, we have to build into our planning all the language functions which learners will need to operationalise their subject or thematic knowledge. This goes beyond teaching specific vocabulary and, instead, requires making use of translingual connections along with teaching subject-related language. It also means that the starting point for practitioners is an analysis of the demands of the content to be taught and learned. This is a new way of approaching planning for all teachers. Second, integrating content and language is complex. It requires teachers to understand content as different kinds of cross-curricular knowledge and skills. Integration also includes attention to cultural understanding embedded not only in social ways of using language and communication across borders but also the ways in which different subjects are built on their disciplinary cultures in order to enable students to make meaning, e.g. science literacies and historical reporting.
In this webinar you will learn how to plan your own CLIL teaching practice through the CLIL planner, a practical resource which will focus on how to create enriched CLIL experiences for any learners. It is based on twenty key steps which provide a guide through different stages in the planning process.

'21st century skills and the climate crisis – encouraging student engagement'| Christopher Graham | Monday, 16th May 2022, 10am - 11am (Lisbon Time)
"For some years now, the so-called 21st century skills (for example critical thinking, creativity, collaboration and communication as well as digital and information literacy) have been integrated into language teaching materials as a way of empowering students to apply the language. As well as the clear merits of equipping students with these skills, their teaching can be a motivating experience for students, whether they are already working in an organisation, studying in a tertiary institution or still at school.
The global climate crisis requires clarity of thought, creativity, consideration, discussion, analysis and appropriate global collaborative action. Finding the solutions to the crisis and putting them into action needs the application of these 21st century skills. Given the international nature of the crisis, language teaching integrated with the skills is important. This seminar will explore how teaching content that introduces and practises the 21st skills around substantiality and environmental themes can be highly effective linguistically as well as motivating. Critical thinking around ‘greenwashing’, communicating the benefits of a windfarm to a community or collaboration with multiple stakeholders on energy use reduction campaigns all employ 21st century skills. These may be some of the most important lessons we ever teach."
