This is my very first school year as a clil teacher.]]> 2017-01-10 21:52:57 UTC https://padlet.com/profnicolosi/technoclil2017/wish/146400449 profnicolosi https://padlet.com/profnicolosi/technoclil2017/wish/147192807 I teach Italian for foreigners too. I've been teaching it from 2002 when I took DITALS degree from university for foreigners of Siena. Italian coul be teached both as FL (foreign language) to people who live abroad and as L2 (second language) to people who already live in Italy. It makes that quite similar to the teaching of English, French, Spanish and German held in Italian schools.]]> 2017-01-14 15:12:07 UTC https://padlet.com/profnicolosi/technoclil2017/wish/147192807 profnicolosi https://padlet.com/profnicolosi/technoclil2017/wish/147193542 I'm always involved in:
1) starting from what the students already know about that topic
(they don't know Italian, but this doesn't mean they don't know anything!!)
2) using non-verbal language a lot
3) paying attention to keep motivation and affective level high and clear
4) making them working together, in pairs or in group of three

With Learning designer I can check by visual charts (the pie charts) how my time is organized and which activity I dedicated more time to. Furthermore I can arrange all my lessons plan.]]> 2017-01-30 16:00:26 UTC https://padlet.com/profnicolosi/technoclil2017/wish/150278332 profnicolosi https://padlet.com/profnicolosi/technoclil2017/wish/151627069 to enhance vocabulary ... without any effort .. you just need time and a big passion on what you are reading ... that's great!

I really don't like to be pictured or photographed or videorecorded, but for my job I did sometimes. I have to say that it's a very useful thing to do and every teacher should have to do that. It helps me to realize which things I have well done and which things I haven't; when I should have been more determined and when I shouldn't; what I should improve in my teaching activities and what is good enough and so on ... ]]> 2017-02-18 15:02:36 UTC https://padlet.com/profnicolosi/technoclil2017/wish/154743966 profnicolosi https://padlet.com/profnicolosi/technoclil2017/wish/154744497 Thanks to my classroom 5A from Margherita di Savoia it was easy viderecording this clil activity.
