Does it Add Up?�Integra8ng  STEM  with  ELLS  

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  problem.    ~GK  Chesterton  

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?
