CLIL Project

Escola del Mar11/01/22  

CLIL has been introduced to the school for many years now and it’s becoming more and more rooted. It’s carried out in 3rd, 4th and 5th grades.

So, What is CLIL?

CLIL stands for Content and Language Integrated Learning and refers to teaching subjects such as science, history and geography to students through a foreign language.

Some important facts about CLIL are:

  1. Language as the vehicle. Language occurs naturally in the discourse frames associated with the conceptual content, and as a result of the communicative exchanges required by task-based methodology.
  2. Activity types: There are four activity types best suited to CLIL practice.
    These are:
    a) Activities to enhance peer communication
    b) Activities to help develop reading strategies
    c) Activities to guide student production
    d) Activities to engage higher cognitive skills(make students think – offer a variety of procedural opportunities for employing a range of operations)

So, hands-on activities are the ones mostly used in CLIL sessions. Students manipulate, experiment, and come to conclusions from classroom activities. And the contents worked on are related to those working with the teacher in the science lessons. All those contents are supported by New Sites platforms created this school year, where students have a variety of videos, games and extra information to review and/or expand their knowledge.

The English Corners

Escola del Mar15/06/21  

We have implemented the English Corners in our school during the last few years. 

Learning Corners is a special learning activity for children which strongly promotes Independence and Love of Learning. Basically, it involves all the children playing and working on various tasks in the same classroom, under the supervision of the teacher.

It’s all about hands-on learning, interaction with others and discovery.

In the English Corners, the students cover all the skills (speaking, listening, reading and writing) using different types of games, tasks and devices such as tablets or computers… It’s another way to learn, practise and reinforce the vocabulary and grammar worked at the units.

4t English: The Poster of Healthy Habits

Escola del Mar03/05/20  

El 2n trimestre l’alumnat de 4t ha treballat els hàbits saludables a anglès. Han buscat la informació, les imatges, i n’han fet un esborrany. Un cop tot recopilat, s’han organitzat en grups i han dissenyat un póster que reflecteixi el més important. (s’ha utilitzat el power point o bé el padlet). Tot i que el confinament ens ha agafat amb alguns d’inacabats i/o a mig corregir, han quedat molt bé! Són uns artistes!

Recull d’imatges d’algunes activitats d’anglès

Escola del Mar30/03/20  

Aquí hi trobareu uns petits video-muntatges on s’han recollit algunes fotos de les activitats que realitza l’alumnat a les classes d’anglès. Hi trobareu imatges de les classes de P5, 3r, 4t, CLIL 3r i CLIL 4t. Segur que a tots ells els agradarà molt compartir-ho amb les famílies i explicar amb més detall el que han fet!

A P5 hem escoltat molts contes, cantat, gesticulat i ballat moltes cançons, hem jugat a diferents jocs com ara “Rock, scissors, paper”, “Who took the cookie?”, “memory” and “bingo” i hem representat, llegit i seqüenciat contes… Ens ho passem molt bé!!

De 3r i 4t, veureu com han treballat. Per conèixer i aprendre millor una llengua s’ha de conèixer la seva cultura. Què millor que celebrar algunes de les festes populars i tradicionals dels països de parla anglesa. Aquest curs hem celebrat Halloween i Christmas. Per Halloween a 3r van preparar un “Spider Snack” i a 4t un “Broom stick Snack” que se’n van llepar els dits! Per Christmas van escriure Felicitacions de Nadal per a les famílies!

El CLIL a l’escola el treballem de manera experimental i manipulativa, també disposem de l’aula Moodle on hi tenim els recursos TIC per ampliar i repassar els continguts treballats. Ens ho passem molt bé!
