Knowledge Test Second Teaching edition CLIL Module Kay Bentley

This course is designed for teachers and trainee teachers preparing for the Cambridge ESOL Teaching Knowledge Test (TKT): Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) module. It is ideal for both content and language teachers. Written by a CLIL expert in collaboration with Cambridge ESOL, this course covers the four key areas of the test: knowledge of CLIL and principles of CLIL, lesson preparation, lesson delivery, and assessment. It will also be useful for anyone seeking an introduction to CLIL theory and practice, as well as teachers working with English as an Additional Language (EAL) learners.

The TKT Course CLIL Module introduces teachers to the concepts and terminology central to CLIL and provides an introduction to its main theories, approaches and support strategies. Teachers are then encouraged to apply these to their own teaching contexts and analyse their usefulness for their own learners.

• •

CLIL terms and concepts are clearly explained for non-specialist teachers.

Model practice test and TKT: CLIL sample tasks help candidates become familiar with the format and style of the TKT exam.

Reflection and discovery activities encourage readers to further explore the topics introduced in the course.

CLIL (Content and Language Integrated Learning) has emerged since the millennium as a major trend in education. Written by Do Coyle, Philip Hood and David Marsh and drawing on their experience of CLIL in secondary schools, primary schools and English language schools acrosss Europe, this book gives a comprehensive overview of CLIL. It summarizess the theory which underpins the teaching of a content subject through another language and discusses its practical application, outlining the key directions ctions for the development of research and practice. This book acknowledges wledges the uncertainty many teachers feel about CLIL, because of the requirement equirement for both language and subject knowledge, while providing theoretical heoretical and practical routes towards successful practice for all.

• Contains a unique CLIL Teacher’s Tool Kit • Includes a chapter devoted to assessment in CLIL • Provides guidance on materials development • Written with both language and content-subject teachers in mind • Draws on the authors’ longstanding expertise in CLIL teaching and teacher training

The first comprehensive overview of Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) that provides clear arguments on the specifics of this modern approach to language in education.

Topics as complex as curricular organization, assessment, and the balance between language-specific and content-specific teaching and learning goals are handled with admirable clarity.

In a well-researched, extensive and coherent manner, this book deals with the main topics of the CLIL approach … It is a well-written and readable volume which deserves the attention of everyone working in education.

Dieter Wolff, Bergische Universität Wuppertal

Finally a comprehensive and in-depth discussion of CLIL that covers critical theoretical and pedagogical background. This volume provides a thorough discussion of CLIL from multiple perspectives and is essential reading for educators and scholars working with and in CLIL. Fred Genesee, McGill University, Montreal

About Language Second Edition

Scott teaching at International House, Barcelona in 1986.

It rehabilitates some lost or forgotten methods and challenges some current orthodoxies. In doing this it aims to unpack – not just the history of methods – but the beliefs that underpin them and the benefits that still might possibly accrue from experimenting with them.

Through its inclusion of interesting characters, intriguing anecdotes, and often bizarre techniques, the material is absorbing and engaging.

An engaging and practical book for anyone interested in the role of creativity in language teaching and learning.
