Description

CLIL (Content and Language Integrated Learning) materials are typically used in bilingual and international schools where school subjects are taught in the target language. This is an area of ELT that is difficult to publish global materials for and throws up a different set of challenges for the ELT writer. Is the syllabus driven by the language or the subject? How can you support the linguistic demands without watering down the subject content? How can assessment avoid penalising students who are good at the subject, but weaker at English? Once you can answer these questions, you'll be able to develop materials that, according to recent research, help learners not only outperform their non-CLIL peers in English, but also in science, maths and even in their mother tongue.

This book provides:
- dozens of illustrative examples from published CLIL materials.
- guidance on liaising with other departments.
- reflective tasks and suggested answers.
- a checklist to evaluate the CLIL materials that you'll create.

This book forms part of the ELT Teacher 2 Writer training course. The course is designed to help you write better ELT materials, either for publication, or simply to improve the quality of your self-produced classroom materials.
