We recommend this excellent new book,  CLIL Material for Sciences. 

CLIL Maths and Science Materials is designed for CLIL teachers of maths, biology, chemistry and physics at Secondary school level.  The materials have been used on numerous CLIL Teacher Development Courses with teachers from all over Europe.

 

The book contains:

 

·         classroom language for CLIL teachers with accompanying exercises

·         subject specific language for maths and science teachers and learners

·         classroom materials that exemplify approaches to teaching CLIL

·         revision activities for consolidating key subject vocabulary

·         suggestions on producing effective CLIL materials

·         links to useful websites for CLIL teachers

 

The materials in the book are communicatively designed to ensure that learners interact using English to learn about the subject.  Learners carry out task-based activities that enable them to understand the concepts while expressing themselves in the target language.

 

The Teacher Notes provide the answers to all the exercises, notes on how to use the materials, ideas for follow-up activities, and suggestions on how to create similar kinds of material.  Key words are defined and phonemic transcriptions are included to help with pronunciation.

 

A CD ROM accompanies the book and contains:

 

·         54 PowerPoint presentations that are connected to the materials and can be used with learners

·         53 sound recordings of the maths and science materials, classroom language and pronunciation exercises.

 

This is an ideal book for CLIL teachers of maths and science, providing teaching approaches and language support as well as ideas and materials that are ready to use with learners.
