Welcome to my
buffet!
Serve yourself a plate,
but don’t get too stuffed.
It	
  isn’t	
  that	
  they	
  
cannot	
  see	
  the	
  
solu8on.	
  It	
  is	
  that	
  
they	
  cannot	
  see	
  
the

Hard vs. Soft CLIL
Soft-
some language
learning is
taught with the
content
Hard-
language and
content are
both taught at
the same time
• Content
• Communication
• Cognition
• Culture
Planning Lessons with the 4Cs
• Content- How can we make the material
more accessible to our language learners?
What might they already know about the topic?
• Communication- What vocabulary will
students need to use? What grammar
structures will they use?
• Cognition- What thinking tasks will they do?
Classifying, identifying, etc.
• Culture- What cultural considerations can you
make?
