Here is my first webmix created and shared in Symbaloo:

https://edu.symbaloo.com/mix/clilcomics

This webmix is a collection of links to varied CLIL resources and Comic Websites. It is my intention to add useful links for my lessons and school projects in the near future.

Comics are awesome, right? Children and adults love them and they can be very useful in the English class. As I would like to start  CLIL lessons in the Third Cycle at Arts and Crafts creating a comic strip I have looked for some webpages that can be useful to do that.

CLIL is a dual-focused teaching and learning approach in which the L1 and an additional language or two are used for promoting both content mastery and language acquisition to pre-defined levels. This can be done by the English teacher using cross-curricular content or the subject teacher using English as the language of instruction.

According to Mehisto&Lucietto, CLIL essentials are:

– Manage the effective side

– Make learning visible

– Make academic language visible

-Take time for make learning meaningful

– Promote cooperative learning

– Foster learner autonomy

– Use Scaffolding content

– Use scaffolding language

For those who want to know more have a view at “CLIL ESSENTIALS” by  Mehisto & Lucietto:

I have never worked in CLIL before but I want to. The first step is the motivation so I decided to learn more about it. Now I am coursing an AICLE course and I will share my learnings in that blog.

In the recent years we have seen that many schools have opted to include English in subjects such as mathematics, art or PE, which has been effective in improving the competence of students in that areas.  Nevertheless, it is said that when CLIL works, it works well, but it is hard to do well. Hopefully this course will help me to avoid some of the pitfalls – spending too much time looking for materials and designing. I’m sure I’ll enjoy the rewarding experience of being a CLIL learner.

To start  with, let me introduce myself
