C for Cognition

Cognition is difficult concept to grasp and develeop when planning a lesson. Quite often there is wide gap between the students' cognition and their linguistic abilities.

The students can be confronted by complex concepts which they are able to grasp cognitively but they might lack the linguistic means to express their understanding. To overcome such a mismatch, teachers have to carefully plan what language they need to introduce in order to make learning and thinking possible for the learners without turning the CLIL lesson into a language lesson.

The relationship between language and cognition (thinking and understanding) is complex.

However what we do know is that effective learning involves cognitive challenge and feedback (assessment for learning).

In CLIL settings it is essential to ensure that the language does not get in the way of understanding whilst at the same time it can itself be cognitively demanding. Cummins developed a matrix for exploring the relationship between cognition and language. This has been adapted for CLIL settings. The matrix is a useful tool to audit teaching materials.

The greatest challenge for CLIL teachers is to develop materials and tasks which are linguistically accessible whilst being cognitively demanding.

Resources for cognition

The best way to develop cognition skills with the students is creating mindmaps.

Here you have a digital tool to create your own mindmaps, it's easy to use and very useful.

For more information here you have some tutorials https://www.mindmup.com/tutorials/index.html

Find out about CLIL

This course is linked to another online course titled "New CLIL Methodology", that we offered last term.

Although they are different courses, you can find useful information about CLIL principles and characteristics on that course, which complete the contents in this CLIL for Science. 

Our course focuses on specific aspects that you can apply to your subject, but if you want to deepen understanding of theory about CLIL methodology, I leave the following link with the blog that was made for that course.

I hope you can find useful information that complete some of the concepts we deal with.

Activating CLIL

This is a very interesting video about main concepts in CLIL.

We had the opportunity to work with Rebecca Place last year, in our face to face CLIL course and she is fantastic.
