I would choose a mixture of topic 3 «Climate and Life» and topic 7 «Climate change has consequences for the Earth system and human lives» to raise awareness about how life in different parts of the planet and climate changes are intertwined and how species and ecosystems adapt, migrate or become extinct because of climate changes.

In an English class (pre-intermediate or intermediate level B1), I would pre-teach some vocabulary and then students would watch this video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WmVLcj-XKnM
Students would do some comprehension exercises about the video and then, following the strategy of “think- pair- share” they would discuss the various verses (with or without the help of prompts or words, depending on the level of students):
“I (Mother Nature) have fed species greater than you and I (Mother Nature) have starved species greater than you.”
“One way or the other, your actions will determine your fate, not mine (Mother Nature’s)”
“I (Mother Nature) am prepared to evolve, are you?”
“Nature doesn’t need people. People need Nature.”

As a project-work in an English class or on Social Studies, students would do some research on several countries where people’s lives have been affected by droughts, floods or other natural disasters caused by the changes in climate or on animals that have become extinct or that are on the verge of extinction. They would present the results of their research in class or give a presentation to the school community.

I have a lot of students coming from african and russian countries. Some of them know only their language and so it would be very difficult to teach if I don't use a table in which everyone has to report the specific world (about a topic), the same world translated into English and into their origin language. In my opinion and for my experience, this way is a smart strategy to get on well together from the start.

I haven't met bilingual students before, but of course I always try to get to know my new students at the beginning of a new year. I usually try to memorize their names so they know that they are important to me. I try to talk to them about their interests and ways of thinking, but I try to stay away from very personal information, which can sometimes be tricky. I do try to learn about their individual situations and problems if they have any so I know how to approach them. I want them to feel that they can trust me; roadtrips and social games designed for getting to know each other are a good way to do this.

# data[].attributes.body
I'm not a teacher yet, but what I would do at the beginning of the year are some easy games to get to know each other. For example, I'd let the pupils walk around in the classroom and say "Hallo" to the children they meet using  the language they prefer. Later they can say if they learned a new word and in which language.
Another activity for learning the names (for the older ones) is asking them to say the name and a word starting with the same letter, in the language they want. We can also use gestures or drawings to communicate.

Simple things do miracles, so I believe. Regardless of the students' age I would go for a simple game with a ball - where everyone passes the ball and says their name. Then I would upgrade it and make it a memory game of other students' names. This game usually melts the iceberg, as well as all kinds of funny activities opening people up.

I’m totally agree with what Nell Foster says about the importance of leaving students express in their mother tongue.

At the beginning of each school year, I teach greetings in Spanish in the junior class and then I ask not-Italian students to illustrate the way they greet in their mother tongue.

In a second moment I tell my students to write these sentences on their notebook  so as to construct a kind of phraseological dictionary. Sometimes this last step makes some difficulties especially for those languages that don’t follow the latin alphabet.

# data[].attributes.body
At the beginning of the year the first activity i do is make students come and talk about their home country or city they are from. This topic not only helps the students to know each other better but also is a topic in which each student is able to talk a lot and is comfortable with. just so we can manage time teachers can give 4-5 examples of what they can speak.

I applied this concept in my classroom and I noticed that students feel confident when their teacher ask them to reply in a language that they are best at. Formal language can be barrier towards the growth of a student because sometimes students knows the answer but he is not able to put it into words in formal language so it’s important to go with the flow and let them speak where they feel most comfortable.

At the beginning of each new school year there can be a great deal of curiosity about new students who speak a different language.  I find that these students are very shy and ill at ease and have some difficulties with the native language of their classmates . I try to give them the opportunity to talk about themselves in English so that they are on equal terms with their peers and can begin to make themselves known.

At the beginning of the year there are lots of activities that we could do to get the pupils and the teachers know each other. All of them are based on games and interactive activities to encourage first dialogues between them.

I usually practice ice breakers. The ice breakers are broadly grouped into two categories:

•Getting to Know You: These are usually short exercises intended to help students say one another’s names out loud and find out a little about one another. These are useful near the very start of an induction programme when students are perhaps a little reluctant to speak to one another.

•Team Challenges: These exercises are slightly different and are intended to encourage students to work with one another on a task. The tasks are usually physical in nature giving an easy point to focus on.

At the beginning of the year in my English as a foreign Language class, I do a number of "getting to know you" activities. I often play a game with my students where they throw a ball with numbers drawn in it, and the number that it hits corresponds to a simple question in English about themselves. They answer that question, and then the class can ask them one other question either in English or in Portuguese. With Younger students I ask them to draw 5 important things about themselves or 5 likes/dislikes and then they show and explain the drawing to the class (using the words they know in English preferably).

I teach French language at the junior high school. I usually give my students exercises of matching very common French words with images. Then I ask them to draw what they know about France, for example, the flag or a monument; so they share with the classroom. I think it works because they reflect on the use of French terms in the Italian language.

During the first week of school I always do peer preparation programme where we speak about diversity and inclusion. Each child prepares a short presentation about him/herself and their family, their likes and dislikes, and say a few words in their native language

I also speak Spanish, so they speak to me in Spanish and English. I read stories from bilingual books in English and Spanish, and they express their ideas about the story and I translate for those  who do not understand. After my first reading in both languages, I have them read in silence.When they are finished, I give to each student one card. They are of different colors, so they have to find the people that have their same color. In this way they make groups of 4 member to introduce themselves in the language they find comfortable. They say: name, birthday, favorite color. Then I collect the color cards and distribute again to different people , so that they are always in 4 different groups to talk about themselves.

# data[].attributes.body
I always take advantage of the first school days to create a classroom community by having my pupils interact each other with a number of game-based activities that help them share experiences. We always create a big poster with multicolored speech bubbles in which students draw and write- also in thir home languages.

We do introduction of theirselves, using google maps and expressions they use at home, which we could put into practice in class.

I do a lot ofknowing activities depending of the age of my new students. We write a letter to a penfriend, we answer a newspaper anounce, we make some identity worksheets or partener presentation. Sometimes I use some images for them to choose their best description from. Best works the identity paper because they have the courage to express all.

At the beginning of the school year, my students use to write their interests, their favorite song, food, poem, color etc. Afterwards we try to find similarities within the group and we conclude that we are unique as a part of a classroom.

There are lots of activity I do at the beginning of the school year. Games, Kahhot, group works, with pinterest and so on. The aim is my need to know all about hem: their likes, dislikes, problems and difficulties.

IRENE – GUARDA, PORTUGALLike I said before, I only have one student who doesn’t speak Portuguese as his mother tongue.Since I’ve known him for a year, I already know his difficulties and his problems with my mother tongue. And so do their colleagues.Since he speaks Arabic, which is a language I unfortunately know nothing about, it’s harder for me to use his knowledge of that language in my classroom. What I do, is to try to motivate him for the study of Portuguese language, and every time that I can, I use his culture, for instance, to compare it with the Portuguese culture. Obviously, it makes him very happy that I do that, but I must admit: that is not always easy! Respect to his colleagues, they find it interesting and useful, because they get to know another culture from someone who lived it.What I would really like is to understand how other teachers around the world, teachers who live this experience of multilanguage classes solve their problems, what strategies they use, how they enrol all the students in the study of a certain language.

I usually teach to adult foreign students, so at the beginning we have many activities where the students introduce thmemselves, the most effective are: pair discussions (they open themseles a lot), the "market" activity (going around in the classroom and ask - answer to other students), presentation of an aspect of your country you like (usually a festivity). When they feel more confident with the language I also suggest a tongue-twister competition (student 1 repeats tongue-twisters in Italian and the teacher or other classsmates in Student 1's native language - this is really funny and challenging)

I ask them to run around or dance and stop, then try to get to know each other with afew words or just for example greeting each other.

Depending on how well I already know the students and on their level of English I usually have them talk about their holidays or let them prepare a little "That's me" profile or booklet.

Then I usually propose a mathematical game, leaving they work toghether and start to know each other, sharing experiences and so on.

It’s not simple to get to know students, expecially the foreign ones! For me this activity takes a lot of time and is particularly difficult, as I spend only two hours per week in each classroom, but it is an important thing to do.

I try to talk a lot with all of them, I encourage them to speak about themselves and to share with the classroom some of their past experiences in their countries and in their families (outside the classroom walls). Conversation with pupils’ parents are fundamental!

Sometimes students are too shy or they may have cognitive problems, so my efforts may not works.

I think that a CLIC activity would be great to improve my proficiency, to create a multilanguage dictionary, to improve the curiosity of the classroom and I the same time to integrate the few foreign students.

When their English level is really low, I ask them to download Google Translator App to their mobile phone and we manage to communicate! It´s harder but possible!
I also ask the portuguese students to introduce themselves but using english.
