This lesson encourages students to devise a tour of Paris. They use online resources in French to collate information about the attractions and decide which attractions they are going to use for their tour. They then present their tours to visitors to their travel agency .
Students explore the attractions of their area using internet research and create a tourist brochure for their region that they can present to french tourists .
This lesson looks at the issues for and against toursim in Antarctica . Students are led through the issues via a powerpoint and then work in groups to produce a radio broadcast with people taking roles for and against tourism on this continent.
I wrote this poem after dealing with many child sexual exploitation cases. It sums up the processes that some people use to groom young people. It could be used as part of a PSHE programme or an assembly.
Students can read the poem and identify stategies used by people who groom to control young people .
This report written in Oct 2023 shows the results of 3 schools where CLIL was used over a period of 18 years. It shows that each of these three schools had greater progress and attainment for CLIL cohorts. Before and after CLIL, cohorts performed less well. CLIL is also shown to be an inclusive strategy as disadvantaged students and those of all abilities performed better in CLIL cohorts. This report shows that MFL can be placed at the heart of school improvement , motivating both students and staff and solving some of the problems leading to current decline in the uptake of languages in the UK. Please send me a message in your review if you read this and have any thoughts about it . This has taken me 5 years to process and write, with help from Professor Do Coyle who has written the preface. Do, who is based at the University of Edinburgh is a leading expert on CLIL both nationally and internationally. There are two files , the smaller one is just the front cover , the main report is the larger file . Accompanying articles listed in the reference list of the report are available free of charge in another resource posted here.
