To CLIL or not to CLIL

This week we are going to look at one more blog, which is useful in teaching CLIL or Content language Integrated Learning. This is an approach to teaching English through other subjects, very useful for everyday and survival English.

If you go to http://acliltoclimb.blogspot.com you’ll find a lot connected with teaching CLIL.

This is an example from the site:

At the Airport - vocabulary

Here are useful words and expressions:

flight attendant / stewardess

row

overhead compartment

excess weight

baggage reclaim

Where are the trolleys?

They’re over there.

Where are the car rental agencies / information centre /lost baggage office?

Where’s the bathroom / exit /the duty-free shop /bus stop?

Where can I find the taxis?

What’s the best way to get into town?

Your flight has been cancelled / delayed.

Flight IB 2314 is boarding right now.

Please proceed to gate nº 28.

Please don’t leave your luggage unattended.

Where can I change some money?

Useful? Of course, summer holidays and travelling are round the corner.
