A CLIL egy oktatási módszertan, amely nem a tanítást, hanem a tanulás folyamatát helyezi középpontba, a befogadás hatékonyságára koncentrál.
2018 nyarán a Budapest IX. Kerületi Weöres Sándor Általános Iskola és Gimnázium által elnyert Erasmus+ pályázat keretében Kutassy Anna és Kocsis Judit Angliába utazhattak, hogy módszertani kurzuson vegyenek részt. Az ott szerzett tapasztalatokat most megosztják a hazai olvasóközönséggel is egy az általuk készített részletes, a CLIL oktatási irányzat komplex módszertanába is betekintést engedő összefoglalóval.
2018 nyarán a Budapest IX. Kerületi Weöres Sándor Általános Iskola és Gimnázium által elnyert Erasmus+ pályázat keretében ketten utaztunk Angliába, hogy módszertani kurzuson vegyünk részt. Azt reméltük, hogy a pedagógiai módszertantárunk bővítésével segíthetjük az itthoni oktatás fejlődését. A Cheltenham CLIL Humanites és Science and Maths tanfolyamokon megismerkedhettünk a CLIL (Content and Lanuage Integrated Learning) oktatási irányzat komplex módszertanával, ami egészen új perspektívát teremt a hagyományos oktatási keretekhez képest.

A CLIL nem a tanítást, hanem a tanulás folyamatát helyezi középpontba, a befogadás hatékonyságára koncentrál. Rendszerének minden eleme e hatékonyság növelését szolgálja. A módszer egyik fontos szegmense, hogy bizonyos tantárgyakat valamely idegen nyelven oktat, ezzel is szélesítve a tanulók látókörét és fejlesztve a sok területre kiható nyelvi kompetenciáikat. Sokan e módszer miatt hajlamosak a CLIL-t a kéttannyelvű oktatással azonosítani, pedig ez a módszer messze túlmutat a hagyományos kéttannyelvűségen, és kulcsa sokkal inkább pedagógiájában rejlik. Ezt az is igazolja, hogy a CLIL rendszerével működő iskolák hangsúlyozottan a tantárgyat tanítják a nyelven keresztül, és nem fordítva, valamint az órákon az idegen nyelvet csupán 25 %-ban használják, a diákokat anyanyelvükön való megszólalásra is buzdítják a szintén anyanyelvű tanárok, akik az óráknak csak bizonyos részeit tartják idegen nyelven.

A nyelvtanuláson kívül tehát rengeteg egyéb elemből áll össze ez a pedagógiai rendszer. Meghatározó fogalmai akollegialitás, a diákok közötti kommunikáció, az együttműködés, a kíváncsiság, a nyitott feladatok és az önálló tevékenység.

Érdemes először a megfelelő pedagógiai közeg kialakításának kérdését vizsgálni, hiszen rengeteg intézményben tudna hatékonyabban működni a tantestület néhány egyszerű szabály bevezetésével, amelyek a szoros együttműködésre épülnek. Nagyon hasznosnak találtuk az alábbi ötleteket:

Egyszerű önfejlesztő módszer a pedagógusok számára

Egy konkrét kérdést feltesz a pedagógus saját munkájával kapcsolatban egy számára problémás területre vonatkozóan (érdemes az azonos tantárgyat tanítóknak ugyanazt a kérdést vizsgálni az egységesség kialakítása érdekében)

Pl.: Milyen tevékenységre mennyi idő megy el pontosan az órán?

Egy hónapig vizsgálja az adott kérdést egy csoportban
Az alábbi táblázatban vezeti a tanórán a különböző tevékenységekkel eltöltött időt

A hónap végén egyénileg, vagy közösen értékelik a vizsgált kérdés eredményeit, és azok alapján dolgozzák ki a módszert a változtatásra.

Így a pedagógus biztosíthatja saját fejlődését, ami azért is fontos, mert diákjainkkal szemben alapvető elvárásnak tartjuk a fejlődést, és rendszeresen ellenőrizzük is annak mértékét, míg saját szakmai munkánk ellenőrzésére ritkán van kidolgozott és következetes módszerünk.

Hogyan érdemes értekezni?

Röviden (30-45 perc, inkább 30, maximum 45)

Fókuszáltan - Nem szabad hagyni, hogy a történetmesélés, panaszkodás irányába mozduljanak a megbeszélések, ezeknek inkább a személyes beszélgetésekkor van helyük

Tantárgyra koncentráltan (az értekezlet témája határozza meg, hogy milyen széles körben gyűljenek össze a tantestület tagjai, de a havi értekezleteket általában érdemes az azonos tantárgyat tanítók körében tartani)

1. „Slam" - Minden kolléga megoszt 1 percben a közösséggel egy éppen őt foglalkoztató fontos jelenséget (Ez lehet pozitív vagy negatív is, az a fontos, hogy valamilyen pedagógiai, módszertani kérdéskörhöz kapcsolódjon. Pl.: „Kipróbáltam ezt a feladatot, és nagyon motiválta a gyerekeket, szívesen megosztom azzal, akit érdekel."/ Kérlek, segítsetek, mert van egy alaposan kidolgozott feladatom, de valamiért nem működik jól, mit kellen rajta változtatni?"). Ez azért szükséges, hogy az együtt dolgozó pedagógusok megismerjék egymás problémáit, módszereit, és ne alakuljon ki az „eggbox szindróma", amikor egy intézményen belül egymástól karnyújtásnyira, mégis szeparáltan léteznek a tantestület tagjai. Az egy percben nyilván nem kerül sor a probléma részletes megbeszélésére, de a felvetést a későbbiek során a kollégák meg tudják tárgyalni

2. A pedagógusok megbeszélik az abban a hónapban vizsgált kérdéssel kapcsolatos tapasztalataikat és teendőiket

3. Az értekezlet végén megbeszélik, mi legyen a következő hónap központi kérdése

Ez a fajta közös munka elősegíti a kollegialitás fejlődését, együttműködésre és önreflexióra sarkall. Hosszútávon ez a folyamat egységesebb pedagógiai munkát és következetességet eredményezhet az intézményben.

Természetesen a pedagógusoknak nem csupán a biztos háttérmunkára kell koncentrálniuk. Az egyik legfontosabb feladatunk a motiváció megteremtése, a diákok érdeklődésének fenntartása és az önálló kritikai gondolkodásra való nevelés. A CLIL módszer nagy hangsúlyt fektet a tanulói tevékenységre az órán, hiszen ezáltal történhet meg a diákok valódi bevonódása. Fontos, hogy elkerüljük azokat a helyzeteket, amelyek csupán a tanulók egy szűk, eleve motivált csoportjának biztosítanak sikerélményt, mert így elveszítjük a csoport jelentős százalékának figyelmét (ezt a jelenséget az oktató az „ elesett katonák pedagógiájaként " emlegette).

Bilingual education isn't just for bilingual communities. Thanks to research that shows learning a second language has benefits for just about everyone, schools all over the world are looking for ways to bring these benefits to their students. One growing teaching trend within bilingual education is CLIL methodology. What is CLIL exactly? To take advantage of this integrative approach, teachers and school administrations need a thorough understanding of the theories behind it as well as proper training on how to apply those theories in concrete ways within their institution.
If you're new to teaching, you'll want to get initial training and qualification with a TEFL certificate. You can explore our online TEFL courses to get started!
CLIL stands for Content and Language Integrated Learning. This means studying another subject (for example, science, history, or literature) and learning a language, such as English, at the same time - integrating the two subjects. The definition is broad because the integration can happen in many different ways.

Professor Do Coyle, who together with education researcher and author Dr. David Marsh coined the term CLIL, explains, "[T]here isn't just one model. ... It can be a theme. It can be principles. You can spend a lot of time on this or a short time on this. But the fundamental principle of CLIL is that there is an integration between using language to learn and learning to use language through the development of content." In this article, we'll explore what exactly that means and, in particular, how it's used in English language teaching.

Although the term "CLIL" is modern, the technique is as old as learning itself. Any time someone learned about something else - engineering, art, cooking - while they learned and practiced a foreign language, they were using CLIL, even if they didn't realize it!

The approach became more formalized in the 1960s, in language immersion programs in Canada and with Languages Across the Curriculum (LAC) programs and Foreign Languages Across the Curriculum (FLAC) programs in the UK and the US. Many of these classes involved native English speakers studying a subject in a foreign language and included study-abroad programs.

David Marsh and Do Coyle came up with the term CLIL in the mid-1990s, at a time when governments, schools, and individuals were all starting to realize the importance of knowing more than one language. The movement was especially strong in Europe, and it's growing around the world in response to globalization.

What are the core features of CLIL methodology?

A successful CLIL program depends on the cooperation between language teachers and content teachers. Each is an expert in his or her own field, so they need to share both their respective principles and information.

The content teacher

A content teacher is someone who teaches a subject - for example, music, architecture, or biology. However, using CLIL as an approach is more than just switching to English to teach another subject. Content teachers are not normally experts in language acquisition or pedagogy. Therefore, to teach their subjects, content teachers usually require some amount of training and might also use both their students' native language and English, a technique known as translanguaging. They'll also depend on the support of the language teacher.

The language teacher

The language teacher is primarily responsible for teaching English (or another language), but in CLIL methodology, he or she also supports the content teacher by introducing relevant vocabulary and functional language related to a given subject (history or biology, for example) and by emphasizing critical thinking.

As an example, think of an earth science class. The content teacher explains the water cycle through pictures, demonstrations, English, and if necessary, the students' first language (or L1). In tandem, the English teacher might cover language for explaining sequences and processes (first, next, then, after that), language for cause and effect (because of, due to, results in), and word forms (vapor, evaporate, evaporation).

Coordination of the two

On the institutional level, a successful CLIL program needs a cooperative organizational structure, which means there has to be a way for the content teacher and the language teacher to work with each other, such as a set place and time to meet and coordinate lessons.

This is helped by a supportive school administration that is willing to provide comprehensive CLIL training, appropriate materials, adequate funding, and time.

Finally, the program will depend on willing students and parents who understand the program's methods and goals. Students might need to work in new and unfamiliar ways, so it's important that they and their families trust the teachers and the program.

Although different programs and classes will of course have their own individual goals, broadly speaking, all CLIL programs aim to increase students' subject-area knowledge while at the same time improving their knowledge of and skills in the target language. In addition, students should improve their own ability to learn and come to understand and appreciate a new culture. Finally, students should not lose ground in their native language. They're adding a new language, not replacing the one they already know.

Think of bilingual education - education involving two languages - as a broad field that can encompass different programs and approaches. Some of the other main approaches share some features with CLIL, although they have differences as well. Here are some of the most common approaches that you might hear about and how they are similar to and different from CLIL.

CBI

CBI, which stands for Content-Based Instruction, refers to learning about a subject using the target language. Some people say that CLIL is a type of CBI, although in a true CLIL program, there is a stronger emphasis on the content. In a CBI course, students might use a textbook with a unit about history, then a unit about communication, then a unit about economics, and so on. But the history teacher would not be teaching in English at the same time.

ESP

ESP, which stands for English for Specific Purposes, teaches students the vocabulary and functions they need for certain fields. Often it is job- or career-focused. Example courses include English for Hospitality Workers or English for Air Traffic Controllers.

EMI

EMI, which stands for English as the Medium of Instruction, refers to language immersion courses where all instruction occurs in the target language. This covers everything from language immersion summer camps to international schools that conduct all of their classes in the target language, where students either must demonstrate proficiency in the target language to be admitted or, if their level is low, seek out additional instruction or tutoring. Unlike a CLIL approach, EMI programs discourage the use of students' native language.
Watch a video featuring CLIL expert, Peeter Mehisto, about what this method is - and is not - from Bridge's Content and Language Integrated Learning Specialized Certification Courses:
Students

Just about any type of student can benefit from a CLIL approach. It has been used with all ages and ability levels. However, that doesn't mean that every student will be successful in a CLIL class, any more than every student is successful in any class. But the factors limiting a student's success are not tied to the CLIL approach.

Teachers

CLIL courses can take time and energy to prepare and carry out. A good CLIL teacher is someone who is committed to the approach and is hard-working, dedicated, and passionate about his or her students. In addition, a CLIL teacher should be skilled at communication and flexible because cooperating with the subject-area teacher is essential.

Subjects

While almost any subject can be taught through a CLIL approach, the most suited are ones that involve student cooperation and have a cultural aspect to them. Some examples are the social sciences, the arts, many trades, and some sciences such as biology and chemistry. One study found that math and physics were less suited to a CLIL approach because of their technical nature. A CLIL approach in these classes would probably rely more heavily on L1 use.

Many types of schools and programs can benefit from CLIL. Because CLIL is particularly well-suited to groups of students working together, it's ideal for K-12 classes, universities, and vocational schools - which of course are all places where students learn subjects in addition to language. But CLIL can also be used in sports and clubs, with private students (if the language teacher also has content knowledge), and in online classes.

If CLIL takes extra training and effort on the part of the teacher, why should they adopt this approach? The short answer is because it provides so many benefits to the students.

As students become proficient in two languages, they gain social and cognitive advantages. Studies have shown that bilingual people are, on the whole, more flexible, better problem solvers, and better communicators. In addition, learning a second language can improve a person's memory and even protect against the effects of aging on the brain.

Other benefits include a deeper understanding of the target language, mastery of a subject, improved social and critical thinking skills, and even a stronger, more flexible brain. With all of these advantages to students, why not see if you can incorporate some CLIL principles and practices into your own teaching?

Harness the benefits of this method with Bridge's new CLIL Certification Courses, developed to help teachers and administrators successfully adopt the CLIL approach to bilingual education institute-wide.

Az idegen nyelvek iskolai oktatása, a kívánatos pedagógiai hatékonyság elérésének lehetőségei és feladatai minden országban régóta foglalkoztatják a szakembereket. Különösen nagy hangsúly helyeződik a nyelvoktatásra, amióta a fiatalabb nemzedékek előtt „megnyílt a világ”. Az utóbbi években-évtizedekben ezért is tapasztalható olyan sok – szakmai és politikai – kezdeményezés az idegen nyelvek tanítása terén. Az utóbbi időben ugyanis számtalan közösségi és nemzeti döntés, politikai kampány, transznacionális pályázat és pedagógiai program tűzte ki célul a lakosság minél magasabb szintű nyelvtudásának elérését. Például az UNESCO mellett a nyelvoktatási gyakorlat megújítása érdekében agitált a több mint fél évszázada működő Európa Tanács2 és a folyamatosan bővülő Európai Unió is, amely még a kampány eszközétől sem riadt vissza.
