Formative Assesment

Hey guys, remember when Katie taught us on Formative Assessment and she gave us some points on giving the students all these points? Well how about we start our own nation in the class! Cut off some monopoly money and laminate it. Or maybe even put our own fabulous face in that currency. Whenever the students show progression, we gave them money (bribery!), according to the value.  And at the end of the semester, the teacher can bring some stuffs to the class (chocolates, biscuits, water, etc.) and let them buy it using the money they had!

The Foreign Language Curriculum and CLIL.

Abstract:

The concept of integration between language and non-language content – not to be

confused with LSP or topic syllabi – is becoming particularly important in the reconsideration of

foreign language teaching approaches and in the need to prepare students with a competence

that prepares for work and study in international or even domestic contexts where a competence

in a foreign language is required. Furthermore, language and content integration in the foreign

language curriculum allows for the divide between language and cognition to be bridged, it

introduces substantive content which students and motivating and it recognises the existence of 

language varieties that differ according to the context – social or academic – of use. These aspects

underpin the reflections in this article.

Key words:

language and content, CLIL, foreign language curriculum.
