After implementing planned lessons I can say that in GEP 1 we have learnt a lot about how working a CLIL subject at school. It was successful because children where provided with a great amount of valid input, combining different types. They were really motivated learning in groups, by means of collaborative work and much oral interaction. They learnt a lot and we included games, so they liked this method.
Maybe the planning of the time didn’t go so well. Maybe I was too optimist regards to this. I mean that we have spent more time than what I had planned.
I have learnt that a motivated child learns more and better. To motivate our pupils we should include games and much group work. About this, I think they learn better from own classmates. Providing different types of input improves children’s learning, too, because this way we can attend to the diversity.
What will I try to improve from now on? In CLIL lessons I will try to plan collaborative activities with different types of input. Games, songs… will take part of my planned lessons.
