David Marsh on CLIL

[@CambridgeUPELT]

Thank you for watching this video! From 25th April 2022, we won’t be sharing any new content on this channel. We’d love for you to join us over at kzbin.info for lots more English teaching and learning content.

A very interesting approach to face the challenges of the 21st century

[@judebolayo4305]

What he just said--all of it--resounds with me. Indeed, it has something to do about the support (but not all of it as every teacher knows).

[@capedcrusadergrimsby]

That's right. It's ironically much better at supporting language performance than language teaching. But if you want to know why you'll have to buy my book.

Interestingly there is no mention of the role played by learners within CLIL...

[@Miss_ESL]

3:47 he is blaming learners not learning on bad teachers who taught badly in the first place! This is ludicrous. Teachers are often very good in their native language, but the English language expected of them when teaching at P1 & 2 sits on the CEFR at B1+ This is *NOT* being a bad teacher, it is pushing a broken product on an already over stretched area, and blaming teachers for its failure rather than the fact the content is far too much for the age of the learners. My nephew is 7. He's Spanish. His primary 2 CLIL work books talks about waxing and waning moons, water purification plants, poaching, and regulated fishing! These are difficult concepts for an L1 child of 7 to understand, let alone an L2 speaker whose poor P2 teacher *may* have a B1 level of English if they're lucky. CLIL is great in high schools if the students are already aware of English. But expecting a 7 year-old Spanish child to read about regulated fishing practices in English is just ludicrous and is overall damaging as he's not going to learn these things. CLIL primary textbooks are set up so they look like they're working, as all the learner has to do is copy the words in bold, but there is little to no actual comprehension. Absolute failure of a method for primary schools.

@@scar383 I have been studying a TEFL course and I agree it’s mostly a bunch of bullshit acronyms. Look into the Michel Thomas method if you want something that actually works. However I am not sure if there exists course material for teaching English, it has mostly been applied to people with English as L1

@@Ben-rz9cf thanks you soo much I Will Do that NOW!!

[@ganazpaker1662]

Is it hard to use CLIL?

[@maesylima6816]

It's challenging

[@maesylima6816]

I have CLIL certificate from Cambridge university, I took a preparatory course for the certificate, It took me 6 months for getting ready to the exam, I learned a lot.
