A Deeper Learning Companion for CLIL
If education is to prepare learners for lifelong learning, there needs to be a shift towards deeper learning: a focus on transferable knowledge and problem-solving skills alongside the development of a positive or growth mind-set. Deeper learning is inextricably linked with CLIL (Content and Language Integrated Learning) – a revolutionary teaching approach where students study subjects in a different language. Designed as a companion to the influential volume Beyond CLIL, this highly practical book offers step-by-step instruction for designing and implementing innovative tasks and materials for pluriliteracies development. It contains annotated case studies of deeper learning lesson plans across a wide range of school subjects, using an innovative and proven template, to help teachers explore the potential of deeper learning inside their own classrooms. Theoretically grounded, this book offers a roadmap for schools, ranging from exploratory first steps, to transdisciplinary projects, to whole school moves for curriculum development and transformative pedagogies.
- Demonstrates what disciplinary literacy and deeper learning means for nine different subjects of schooling, using accessible language and practical examples throughout
- Illustrates how these principles can be used to design deeper learning lesson plans and materials for these subjects using an innovative and proven template
- Offers innovative ways of integrating assessment of content and language to evaluate learners' progress in deeper learning
