It's all in the planning!

The 4Cs, HOTS & LOTS, thinking skills, BICS, CALP... Only L2 ... little to no L1 ...Β 

Sounds gibberish doesn't it?

Even more if YOU are meant to include ALL of these in each activity of your CLIL lesson!

No Fret! it's all in the planning!

Effective CLIL starts

with good planning

One of the most important elements of successful CLIL teaching is preparing your lesson in advance, and the structured lesson template I provide is designed to make that process simple and reliable. It includes all the essential components of a CLIL lesson β€” from language aims to scaffolding and assessment β€” and even prompts you to plan tasks that develop LOTS (Lower Order Thinking Skills) and HOTS (Higher Order Thinking Skills) using Bloom’s revised taxonomy. This means teachers can intentionally create activities that go beyond basic understanding and push students toward deeper thinking. With this template, you won’t risk forgetting anything; you can walk into class confident, organised and fully prepared, leading to a smoother, more engaging lesson for your students.

The CLIL Approach

A clear path to understanding and applying Content and Language Integrated Learning. Packed with strategies, examples, and tools, it’s ideal for both beginners and experienced teachers looking to enhance their CLIL practice in real classroom settings.
