Getting started: what is your class like?
When you teach, it's important to match your language to just above the level of your children. If you have an upper primary class, think about your children. What is their level of English like? Do they speak in full sentences? Can they understand longer instructions? Is their vocabulary well-developed? If you do not have an upper primary class of your own, please use the description below.
CLIL for the intermediate child (7 - 9 years old):
You want to teach a CLIL lesson where the children can talk about art, using the seven basic elements of design. You found some texts about the elements of design online, and you need to figure out if these texts actually name and explain these elements in a way children can understand.
In this activity, you you will select three or four key CLIL concepts of the provided lesson activity. You will practice explaining these to intermediate children, keeping in mind that they speak in short and simple sentences. Vocabulary must be correctly explained and you need to use visual support and modelling. Keep your explanation short, to no more than three to five minutes.
