Dictogloss

¡Hola! 
 Dictogloss es un tipo de actividad que permite a los alumnos asegurar el vocabulario y las estructuras gramaticales de una forma motivadora. Aquí os dejo un ejemplo sobre el lanzamiento de un disco por una banda, pero, lógicamente, esta activdad puede realizarse sobre cualquier tema y en cualquier asignatura.

Mogwai:  

Music Industry 3. Fitness Industry 1.
 

Earlier this year, Mogwai released their eighth album and then reissued their second one, and listening to both, one could reasonably conclude that the Scottish art-rock quintet have either evolved considerably over the past 15 years or not at all. Sure, Mogwai songs are no longer the time-bombs they once were; now as reliant on sci-fi synths as nuclear guitar blasts, their more-than-ten-minute epic songs have been reduced to more digestible, pop-friendly forms. But on an album-to-album basis, that change has been so incremental, it can seem like Mogwai have stand still. While their old sneak-attack tactics have been replaced with more carefully orchestrated ascensions, their music has nonetheless retained the slow-moving tension and uneasy atmosphere that defined the band’s early efforts

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:

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:
