Onestopclil - The resource bank for content and language teachers

Welcome to August on onestopclil!

This month, we’re offering you the chance to win a year’s access to The Times website, so you can download and debate today’s issues with your students.

Starting with talking points, Kay Bentley is back with the eighth article in her TKT: CLIL series, this time focusing on feature identification. On to the CLIL content and we’ve reached the final part of Carol Read’s Amazing world of animals project, which rounds up by teaching children about endangered species. However, our Science Museum experiments are still bubbling away and here students can turn a dull polystyrene cup into something far more fun in ‘Shape-shifting slime’.

For any modern art-loving secondary students, there’s a worksheet on the prestigious and often controversial Turner Prize, which ties in nicely with the return of our Live from … series over on onestopenglish, which sees us canvassing the streets of London to ask people about their favourite artists.

Elsewhere, onestopenglish’s Selections story for August visits a little girl who is overwhelmingly excited about her first day at school and this month’s M Tune delivers a song video on how to save our planet.

We’ve also collated oodles of useful resources for Teenagers in the latest of our Extras articles on how to find what you need on onestopenglish. Why don’t you add all your favourites to your Learning Calendar?

What is CLIL?

  • What is CLIL?
    CLIL stands for Content and Language Integrated Learning. It refers to teaching subjects such as science, history and geography to students through a foreign language. This can be by the English teacher using cross-curricular content or the subject teacher using English as the language of instruction. Both methods result in the simultaneous learning of content and English.

  • Project: Amazing world of animals
    The Amazing world of animals, by Carol Read, is a project for Young Learners, designed to simultaneously build up learners’ language skills and knowledge of the animal kingdom. The project is divided into six lessons and leads to a final outcome of children creating a group e-zine/magazine with the title ‘Amazing world of animals’. In each lesson, children find out about different aspects of the animal world and produce a piece of work to include in their e-zine/magazine.
