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. |
Colleagues As you may know over the past few years NALDIC has been producing an extensive online resource for initial teacher educators about EAL at http://www.naldic.org.uk/ittseal2/index.cfm 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 Nicola Davies On behalf of NALDIC |
| Subject sites useful for CLIL teachers | |
| Science sites ►Science Across the World is a number of things. It's a database of school contacts and potential partners (over 5000 of them). 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. This site gets a FACTWorld smiley! ►The British Biotechnology and Biological research council has great resources free in the ‘downloads’ section. Gene Kelly was born here in the section on Genetics for kids. ►The Particle Physics and Astronomy Research Council.

Some discussion on EAL students. http://mathitude.societeg.com/ ►Maths Site from Christophe Derambure in France There are a number of items including a collection of sample courses in Maths and a collection of YouTube videos on Maths topics, plus some tasks to accompany the clips. http://www.livemaths.co.uk/samples/ ►Live Maths UK Paid website, with numerous free samples of animation and audio recordings of Maths tuition.
