CLIL methodology
... what is CLIL?
In antiquity the sugestion was made that one learn another language in the language's country of origin, to familiarize oneself with the culture at the same time. In the Middle Ages many people were multilingual, although it is known that - with the exception of Latin - no language was taught systematically in the monastery schools or in other educational institutions. Foreign languages were learned much as one learned one's native language, through interaction with native speakers, mostly in pursuit of one's own trade or professional interests. Similarly, the governesses employed by aristocratic families and wealthy commoners in the 18th and 19th centuries contributed to their pupils' acquisition of foreign language competences: the governesses used their native tongue, French, to instruct the children. The children thus acquired this language as a foreign, or frequently even as a second language by "natural" means , as they used it to learn the contents of whatever it was they were being taught, whether history, geography, or other subjects. In a certain sense, the basic principle of bilingual subject-matter instruction lies at the root of this type of linguistic and cultural learning as early as antiquity, but is found to a greater extent in the 18th and 19th centuries; simultaneous integrated learning of a language and a particular subject by using French as the language of instruction and learning.
- The basis of CLIL lessons is content then through various themes there is a language development
- Language is a tool for teaching the educational content not the aim
- CLIL language doesn`t include only vocabulary but is seen as set of language tools that allow students to learn more about educational content
- CLIL in various subjects supports the teaching of English language and its active use by pupils
- The language is used naturally without explaining the grammar
- CLIL is used at lessons ranging from shor 5 minute language activities to compact practising or explication of the subject mater through English language
- Students are classified solely on the contents of subject matter and not form the linguistic knowledge and skills
