CLIL as an advantageous Way to introduce your Students into Electrical Engineering
and IT Subjects
Linz 2017
CLIL in theoretical and practical SubjectsDI Gustav Spring, HTL Waidhofen/Ybbs
Agenda
• Why did we choose the topic „advantageousway …“, how does my way look like?
• For a CLIL teacher language matters – so whatis important for us? Do we have otherpriorities than English teachers?
• In which subjects is CLIL used? Are there anydifferences, advantages, priorities? What aremy subjects?
• LBNL examples for methods, activities I use
• References – interesting web pages, tools
Intro – my personal CLIL Experience… why „advantageous way“?
• Makes sense for me, because English will beneeded in the profession of our graduates; many technical information is only available in English (e.g. datasheet of components); concern language in companies, global market, …
• Many additional resources (www, videos, books) in English
• LBNL lessons are more interesting, challenging, more variety, more „colorful“ forteacher and learners
Intro – my personal CLIL Experience… my approach, how I practice it
• Siemens: 1990s concern language English
• CLIL and Language courses (in Vienna; Exceter, Cambridge, Malta, Dublin, Edinburgh) to widen myhorizon, improve pedagogical skills, to make teachingmore interesting, experimenting with different ways toteach:
• How to? - which CLIL activitiy – depends on topic: - sometimes „games“ , but no repetition of same activity in same class but always word map of keyvocabulary; use videos, the easist way to have a native speaker in the classroom (e.g. Salman Khan -Khanacademy)- from time to time try out something new

Language – what‘s important for CLIL?Speaking vs Writing
Grammar
Pronunciation
Words & Phrases
For all skills:Help to build uppool withkey vocabulary(final exams)
Is vital for Listeningand Speaking
Accurate grammar isimportant for writing(technical documents, like laboratory reports- help students withtemplates, examples,key structures forsentences)
Assist student withwritten text (e.g. Powerpoint) and video material (nativeas well as non-native speakers)
English in a CLIL Lesson– in an English Lesson
• Technical English – KISS (understand each other –it is often not a disadvantage for students not tobe a native speaker, but Level B2 and not beyond):Interesting document (e.g. how to describetechnical procedures - laboratory):Simplified Technical English of AeroSpace and Defence Industries Association of Europe (ASD)http://www.asd-ste100.org/
• Other aims than in English Lesson or for FCECambridge First Certificate or Advanced English,Proficiency in English
CLIL in theoretical, practical and other subjectswith a wide variety of teachers
and different groups sizes of studentsdifferent benefits for students
Theoretical Technical Subjects:e.g. Automation Engineering
Practical Subjects:e.g. Laboratory, CPE – Computer Aided Project Engineering
Engineers (Ing.)Subject Teachers (Mag.)
Engineers (DI)
English & Subject Teachers (Mag.)
Other Subjects:e.g. Mathematics, Geography, History, Religion, …
Engineers (DI)

CLIL in my subjects: AUT, Lab, CPE
• AUT: automation engineering (theoretical subject)new content with various CLIL methods/activities, wordmaps, videos, …main aim: create key vocabulary, phrases final exams
• Lab: Laboratory – practical measurementsCPE: Computer Aided Project Developmentmain advantage: smaller groups, makes sense forprofessionLab: Communication during measurements, Write Lab Report (technical documentation)CPE: Requirement Specification, Project Documentation, PresentationLab, CPE: Usage of Development Tools (done in English)
Lab Exercise 1 „Transfer Characteristic of a 7400 NAND Gate“ (Manual Measurement)
• Repetition – Truth Table of NAND Gate
• What is the Transfer Characteristic? Ua(Ue), Vo/Vi
• How could the Transfer Characteristic looklike?
• How can it be measured? Pair work: Draw a measurement circuit with a supply voltage of 5 Volts (constant), a potentiometer to create the variable inputvoltage and 2 digital multimeters.
Language Support
• Can be given in different ways:- frontal- fill in the gap- just watch a video and write down unknown
words, to ask afterwards (maybe a secondwatching of the video could be required)
Key vocabulary – Word MapGap filling
• Write these words in the correct places (1..11):Block diagram, slider, Data Acquisition, data types, USB, sinks, Front Panel, int (blue), digital in- and outputs, case, indicators, Virtual Instrument
Lab Exercise 2 „Transfer Characteristic of a 7400 NAND Gate“ (Automated Meas.)
• Labview: Introduction/1st steps using labviewprogramming environment in English variant 1: on Beamer English Version, on student PC German Versionvariant 2: just explaining what to do without beamer –feedback: you see, whether the students understoodyou
• Lab Exercise 3: Automated Measurement using Serial Interface of Measurement equipment in lab:CLIL-Labview-Serial.pptx
• Examples: Laboratory Reports of StudentsSupport: Preview of laboratory exercise: ppt, template, examples, word maps
CPE – Project Development
• What do we do in CPE/CLIL: Documentation, Presentation, Communication during Development, Instructions, Discussions, Project Plan
• Project Development: Stdsem(German – English):
http://qm.datatrak.ws/stdsem_e/home.htmincluding all templates in English
• Siemens Examples: e.g. how to write abstracts
• Examples: Code Converter, SynchronousSequential Logic, Analog Controller in folder CPE
Stdsem (old but good)
To avoid terms like „Book of Duty“ , writingperfect requirement specifications, …
Sometimes we have simple vocabularyproblems („|G(1i.ω)|“ working with Mathcad)
• | … Betragszeichen: Magnitude sign, absolute valuesign, vertical bar, vertical line, pipe (in another context)
AUT – Automation Engineering
• Like any other technical subject, perhaps a little bit more maths(e.g. Laplace Transformation, frequency and step response):Vocabulary on Equations_B.pptx, …Khanacademy: e.g. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nlUG4OKN1IY
• various CLIL-activities, but also frontal lectures using power point, including students by asking questions - CCQs and ICQs (ConceptChecking and Instruction Checking)
• Using Videos explaining how to calculte the gain of an OAC (www.htl.at) or Fuzzy Logic (tasks; catch important key vocabulary, give definition; fuzzification, inference, defuzzification; crisp values, DOM …; who is the father of fuzzy logic?): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J_Q5X0nTmrA
• Company information often in English as well as in German: Endress&Hauser Sensor principleshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f949gpKdCI4
Activities, Methods used
• Analyzing Content and learn Language: bring a structure in the (key) vocabulary witha word map (Tools: Freemind, yed, …)
• Categorizing, e.g. words to do with sequence, e.g. needed for Synchronous Digital Circuits, State diagrams

Language support -Doing Presentations in a better way
• Presentations are often done in CLIL-Lessons
• How to do them in a better way?
• What are the tasks of the CLIL teacher?
• Support not only in technical matters but also in the language, e.g. talking about state diagrams, words to do with sequence is of interest talkabout it, do an activity before students have to do their presentations; of course talk about keyvocabulary, components, …
• Feedback (not only, but also errors), Questions ofclass and teacher to check understanding
Activities in CLIL-Lessons
• Procedures, Putting Sentences in Right Order• Puzzles (Basic Elements CE), Crossword• Dictogloss (develop written English, delivering content)• Matching Exercise• …• (Running dictation) …
Inspirations, Ideas: - Teaching other subjects through English- Putting CLIL into Practice
• NOTE: With some exceptions (word map – analyzingcontent and learn words), not repeat the same activities too often
Sequences, Procedures –put sentences into right order
• Alternative way to more or less frontal way ofwriting down the „recipe“ on the blackboardfor creating and dimensioning a certain analog controller to realize a certain transfer function. Could be also done working together withstudents (was my way shown in next slide) after doing an example – asking the students„what is the next step?“)
• Sorting Activity: Paper stripes or Sort_Text.exe
Puzzle - Control Engineering:Basic Elements – P, I, D, PI, … PT1, …TF, ODE, Bode and Nyquist Plot, …
Puzzle
• Based on set ofpictures forTF, Equations in Laplace-domain, Bode Plot,Nyquist Plot, OAC
for each element(here shown PDT1)
Various CLIL-activities
• E.g. Dictogloss for something important toremember longer than usual after the lesson
