►The website for the Austrian network of vocational schools.

 This is a quiet but very significant organization with a large conference  dedicated to ESP, Bilingual Education and CLIL. The organization has had a CLIL section since 2007. Andreas Baernthaler is the CLIL coordinator.

►NALDIC - The (UK) National Association for Language Development in the Curriculum

http://www.naldic.org.uk/index.cfm

Look at the events page (http://www.naldic.org.uk/docs/events/events_upcoming.cfm)

Look at the links page (http://www.naldic.org.uk/docs/resources/links.cfm) there are links to language service providers around the UK and some of them have catalogues of resources for sale (e.g., Hounslow have some very good resources like the Bilingual Learners and Secondary History which is available through their catalogue http://www.hvec.org.uk/HvecMain/index.asp)

I came across this site a long time ago, but this mail brought it back to my attention and if you go to the resources section you will find an extensive bibliography for bilingual education, as well as many links to related organizations and websites.

This subject resource network has proved very popular with tutors, students and existing teachers and is freely accessible to anyone interested in this field.

We are coming to the end of the TDA funded phase of this work and would like to add a number of additional resources to the section entitled EAL learning in National Curriculum Subjects

http://www.naldic.org.uk/ITTSEAL2/teaching/ealncsubjects.cfm

If you have experience of teaching EAL learners in the primary phase in Citizenship, Art, Music and PE and would be prepared to take part in a telephone interview we would like to hear from you. Colleagues would be interviewed by our researcher who will be producing guidance for ITE tutors in these four subject areas. Your participation would be credited on the site and you would have a chance to pass on your experience to new teachers.

If you would like to take part, please email me at ITE@naldic.org.uk (not the whole list). Our researcher will then make contact with you by email to set up a suitable time for a telephone interview

We look forward to hearing from you

►Trends in International Maths and Science Survey (TIMMS)

I've been following this survey for the last decade to see how the countries I work are doing in education compared to others. It's a useful snap shot site to go to to find out how your country is doing in not just Maths and Science, but other subjects.

You can even get your students to compare themselves with the survey results for the US and rest of the world in some subjects by going to the Dara to Compare link.

►Jim Cummins website, can't believe I haven't put this on here before. Speaks for itself.

►UNESCO periodically produce reports on the state of education around the world. Thought-provoking reading.

NALDIC is releasing an edited version of Prof Ofelia Garcia of City University New York's talk given at the recent NALDIC conference on YouTube.

Entitled 'Reimagining bilingualism in education for the 21st century' she introduces the notion of 'translanguaging', which offers a radical re-conceptualisation of bilingualism with major implications for classroom practice.

There will be five parts in all and they will be released on a (roughly) weekly basis.

The first part is now available:

You might also be interested in the archives of teacher learning modules with video resources on teaching different subjects.

The example I looked briefly was to do with Chemical Reactions, is not CLIL specifically, but highly usable:

►Science in Schools. Project hub for schools interested in science projects and is in multiple languages.

http://www.scienceinschool.org/

►Getting Practical. Site aimed at improving practical work in school science. I found it because it had a sample to a book called 'Language of Measurement' which is on sale at the Association for Science Education Booksales section of the association website www.ase.org.uk.

http://www.gettingpractical.org.uk/index.php

►Science Across the World is a number of things.  It's a community of schools and potential partners (over 8000 of them at last count).  It's a bank of 20 topic resources in general Science areas such as Health, Diet, Environment.  It's a place to find exchange project resources and partners working in multiple languages.  Many of the topics have language teaching notes.  It's the bees knees and a good place to start if you're new to integrating content and language and would like ready-made materials to work with.

►+Plus magazine ... living mathematics

I like this site as it's all about Maths in everyday life, which is always going to be useful when working with young people, i.e., getting them to relate their Maths to the world around them.

http://www.emaths.co.uk/eal.htm

►nrich - specialists in rich mathematics

The curriculum maps are very useful on this site, matching maths areas with thinking and processes. It's a relatively small step to add language onto maps like these.

If you teach Maths through English as a foreign language and think these maps are useful for you but need some language indicators and feel like giving it a go and need some help, I'd be happy to lend a hand (keithpkelly@yahoo.co.uk).

►motivate - video conferences for schools

What a wonderful idea! I've come across video conferencing for Science Across the World with Flashmeeting but haven't come across a system for schools which offers curriculum focused video conferencing - here Maths. There are sessions which links Maths with the rest of the curriculum including a couple on Maths and languages.

http://www.emaths.co.uk/eal.htm

►I came across this sites in a bilingual education e-list.  It's a general site for Maths education but there are a number of sections aimed at EAL maths teachers and many of the resources will be of interest to foreign language maths teachers.  The worksheets page is full of materials for example (http://www.emaths.co.uk/resources.htm).  The interactive scheme of work looks interesting too with lists of I can do statements for each of the levels in the UK Maths curriculum (http://www.emaths.co.uk/InterSoW/background.htm).

►Maths Site from Christophe Derambure in France

►Paper Models of Polyhedra

I came across this site by chance, but had to stick the link here as what it provides (shapes and shapes and shapes) is a great free resource.

►Came across this while searching for data about young people and health. Didn't find what I wanted here, but I know this site will come in handy for other statistics.

►Tool for promoting geography called Geocube and is available free. Geocube is based on the Rubic cube, i.e. on its 6 sides it has 9 topics each.

►This site isn't just Geography, but it's based on maps so I put it here. I found this site when looking for maps of Vespucci's journeys. I like the history maps of Europe from year 1 to 2000.

I came to this website looking for mini projects for the language classroom and building paper bridges was just the thing I was after.

►NASA - There are many reasons to visit the NASA website, but one particular reason for me is the image gallery there. All things space and much more, and very useful for producing your own lesson materials.

►The Wordle website has nothing to do with CLIL but is a fun way of creating word clouds of any text you like. Word size is related to frequency. I sometimes present clouds of words in Wordles to my students and get them to work in small groups to recreate the context the words come from based on what they see in the cloud. Good way of putting related words in one place in a random order.

►Strange fairytale on CLIL which I think is delivering a message saying that CLIL is an attempt at offering something new but which only creates confusion (I keep going back to this, and think 'maybe I missed something', but no, still can't figure it out):
