With their high visual content and contextual support, the rich authentic, real-world global data as well as very literal and concrete language structures, teaching Geography and Sociology through CLIL makes great sense.
Or does it?
Join us for Café CLIL 22 with special guest Laura Piersanti, experienced teacher of Geography and Sociology through CLIL from the ‘Liceo James Joyce’, Ariccia (Rome) who offers insights into teaching these subjects through English. Many thanks to Laura or contributing!
Phil and I in response discuss CLIL Geography and Sociology and more specifically scaffolding vocabulary and resources, making materials context-sensitive, differentiation, the time factor in materials adaptation, and we even talk about Pope Leo and a curriculum for human flourishing.
