Artists from Lleida. A CLIL lesson plan

I’ve been checking out lately the main web page of Catalan Education Department about CLIL licenses, and I want to emphasize a great CLIL lesson plan by Laia Griñó. It is about Artists from Lleida (Catalunya) and I think it is worth taking a quick look at it, since it represents a good way of approaching the lives and the work of both Leandre Cristòfol and Josep Iglésias del Marquet. Enjoy!

Some scaffolding…Classroom Language

To encourage students to speak only in English in the classroom, make sure they know simple transactional phrases that they can use to manage their interaction. Often these phrases come so naturally in the native language that it’s difficult to break the habit. To help everyone learn and remember this, make a list of these phrases on the board (or put them on a poster for the classroom) and add additional similar phrases as the need arises.

Using digital technologies to promote inclusive practices in education

Dr Leila Walker, Futurelab, with Ann Logan, education consultant

Introduction to inclusive education

In Section 1, we are reminded of the historical events that have led to the movement for inclusive education and practices in today’s education system. We explain what is meant by the term ‘inclusive education’, how it relates to special educational needs, and the significance of the Department for Children Schools and Families (DCSF)/Department for Innovation Universities and Skills (DIUS) personalisation agenda. We further discuss what the perceived benefits of inclusive education are, and how these benefits have changed the learner demographic of mainstream schools.
