CLIL Unit: The Geography of Tourism

In 2010, our Year 10 course is being supported by the resources of Melbourne University, Graduate Education School, who will be assisting in the development of a CLIL course. You may well ask, what is CLIL??

CLIL introduces CONTENT based language teaching.

You will notice that:
the teacher will only use Japanese in the course of the class.

It is expected that as much as possible you would use Japanese in the course of a class.
More student centred learning will be expected than in average classes.
Brainstorming is a basic part of the CLIL.

NB: No criticism of ideas
Groupwork is central
No teacher lectures
Writing and presenting summaries
Repitition is required

MAKING MISTAKES
It is more important to communicate than to produce perfect grammar
You will learn to self correct and peer correct.
You will be expected participate in peer and cooperative work
I will set high but realistic guidelines.

The CLIL unit we will do in the second half of Term 2 will use a Geographical topic.
