Abstract:  Write a brief (not more than 50 words) description of your session. Your audience is potential participants in the session. Be as specific as possible.

Scientific literacy and CLIL session aims to provide novice CLIL practitioners a focus on implementing CLIL principles in bilingual science classes. As many countries throughout the world have been implementing CLIL to promote competitiveness of the citizens, bilingual science may be one of the most challenging as science terminology and concepts may be more difficult to process in second or foreign language. This session aims to provide primary school teachers a platform to discuss how to promote scientific literacy with emphasis on how to provide support for English language learners. The sessions will be practice oriented as opposed to a focus on theories of CLIL. Videos of CLIL Science lessons will be analyzed in terms of language support and content learning. 

 


 

 

Target audience:

 

Primary school English teachers who are interested in teaching soft CLIL lessons in Science

Subject teachers who are interested in teaching Science in English

Researchers and professors who are conducting research in this area 

 

 


 

 

Session objectives:

By the end of this session, participants will have

  • an understanding of how to promote scientific inquiry with language support
  • resources to provide scientific language scaffold to English Language Learners 
  • understood the role of translanguaging in bilingual science class  
  • designed Science lessons based on CLIL principles
