1. Come si possono classificare le cellule staminali? Che cosa hanno in comune le diverse categorie? 2. Immagina di non avere cibo: in che modo questa condizione potrebbe influenzare la tua vita? 3. Usa il grafico e confronta l’andamento del dollaro e dell’euro. 4. Colloca i fatti lunga la linea del tempo. 5. Che cosa modificheresti nell’esperimento per ottenere un risultato più preciso? 6. Leggi la relazione di laboratorio scritta dal tuo compagno e commentala. 7. Registra i dati relativi alle precipitazioni e decidi quali mettere sull’asse X e quale sull’asse Y. 8. Proponi due modi diversi di risolvere un problema di matematica e spiegali. 9. Osserva i tre dipinti e individua i colori dominanti di ciascuno. 10. Osserva la tabella delle importazioni e delle esportazioni: quali sono aumentate negli ultimi cinque anni?
A word of wisdom “We need to look at tasks and be aware of the cognitive demands required of the learners. Are the concepts too easy? Are the concepts too difficult?” (TKT course)
Remember & Understand Apply & Analyse Evaluate & Create a) Conduct some internet research to find out the dates of some other significant inventions and discoveries that occurred during the Industrial Revolution. Add these events to a new timeline in your notebook. b) When was the flying shuttle used for and when was it invented? c) Using the timeline calculate how many years there were between when the first steam engine was invented and the first aeroplane flight. d) When was the first transatlantic telegraph cable laid?
Key to Sample Task 1B, 2C, 3B, 4A, 5A, 6B
Food for thought Prendi una unità / modulo dal tuo manual. Leggi le attività previste e rifletti: - c’è una progressione da LOTs a HOTs? - quali abilità cognitive vengono sviluppate?
2 La matrice di CUMMINS
LA MATRICE di CUMMINS: uno strumento per progettare in CLIL from BICS to CALP = from A to D
BICS = Basic Interpersonal Communication Skills In terms of lesson input, BICS BICS are used in informal include communication, for example •1. day-to-day language at school breaks or parties, •2. contextual clues that aid on the telephone, or when understanding. playing sports. BICS involve situations in which learners can use visual Second-language learners clues, gestures or facial generally achieve BICS in two expression to communicate to five years. with each other.
CALP = Cognitive Academic Language Proficiency Used in academic tasks. In CALP, clues to help learners understand are often reduced or absent. Lesson input for CALP is read from a textbook or presented by the teacher, and the concepts are more academically demanding. Consequently, the spoken and written language needed to understand and produce for CALP is more complex than for BICS. Teachers can teach their learners specific CALP skills and they can guide their learners to gradually move from BICS to CALP. It may take five to seven years for second language learners to become proficient in academic language skills (Collier, 1995).
Two elements ° context Context embedded ° cognitive demand Underline proper nouns Giving an oral presentation A C Cognitively Cognitively undemanding demanding B D Use graphic organizers to identify main Read a text and answer points in a text comprehension questions Context reduced
CONTEXT EMBEDDED LANGUAGE • Communication occurring in a context that offers help to comprehension (e.g visual clues, gestures, expressions…) • There are plenty of shared understanding and meaning is relatively obvious due to help from the physical or social nature of the conversation (Baker, 2000)
COGNITIVELY (UN)DEMANDING • Language required is not specialized (LOTS) = undemanding • Learners must have enough background knowledge (HOTS) = demanding
Which activity in your Context embedded area fits each quadrant? A C Cognitively Cognitively undemanding demanding B D Context reduced
Decide if each task belogns to which Context embedded quadrant (A, B, C, or D): - Classify - Match - Retell - Present orally - Experiment A C - Underline Cognitively Cognitively - Find errors undemanding demanding - Draw B D - Demonstrate - Project - State opinion - Define - List - Describe Context reduced - Circle - Summarise key-points
- Draw Context embedded - Present orally - Match - Experiment - Underline - Project - List - Demonstrate - Circle - Summarise key-points - Retell A C Cognitively Cognitively undemanding demanding B D - Classify - State opinion - Find errors - Describe - Define Context reduced Can you explain why each of these tasks might fall into the quadrant in which they are shown?
Let's have a try with a test on BICS and CALP: https://bestofbilash.ualberta.ca/bics%20calp%20quiz/index.htm
A) VIEWING Start with a task that is cognitively simple and context- embedded. That is a BICS task. It involves everyday conversational and transactional language. Examples: watching a video, students repeat information/utterances, students remember prior knowledge.
B) DOING Follow with activities that are cognitively complex and context-embedded. This phase is an opportunity to scaffold language from descriptive to more abstract. Examples: to create a map, a timeline, students compare and contrast, students transform given information.
C) TALKING The following activity should be cognitively simple again but this time context-reduced. This phase involves abstract but cognitively simple activities. Examples: to talk in pairs or groups (cooperatively) about the topic, sequencing.
D) TRANSFORMING The last step is the most challenging one: it is cognitively complex and context-reduced. This is quadrant 4 and it is called TRANSFORMING. The aim is using academic language of school learning. It is the ability to transform one’s understanding of content into the technical CALP language. Examples: writing an essay, justifying an opinion or judgement, predicting results.

Putting a pluriliteracies approach into practice Questions to guide PTL lesson planning 1. What do I want my students to know or do? teaching objectives & learning outcomes Adapted from https://pluriliteracies.ecml.at (Council of Europe, 2015)
CIVICS (sustainable development) An example Content: water Teaching objectives (what I plan to teach): • to understand the water cycle, • to raise awareness of the effects of climate and climate change on water supply, • to explore ways of saving water.
Learning outcomes By the end of this unit learners will be able to: - give a small-group presentation explaining the water cycle; - discuss the concept of drought in a range of countries; - design a water saving poster and questionnaire to work with data on how the class saves water; - discuss and evaluate how to improve saving.

Content: Language: Is it a completely new topic area? Punti di What concepts might they already know? partenza What key vocabulary might they know? What basic concepts can be reviewed? What basic vocabulary can you review? Which concepts will be most accessible? What new language will be essential?
Activate > Introduce the topic in a general way (L1 / L2) > Review key concepts the students already know Step 1 > Reactivate any relevant basic vocabulary in L2 > Draw on transparent words (international / cognates) > Present a reasonable amount of new key vocabulary
A.C: “Nucleic Acids”
Contextualize Recycle the new and review language from lesson 1 Demonstrate the use of the language in the topic context: an accessible reading text or listening recording Add a limited amount additional new language Step 2 Include any additional basic / review language Practise using language in a controlled way a guided speaking activity or pair / class game a guided writing task at the sentence-level Reactivate relevant basic vocabulary
Step 3 Transfer & extend Review the language and concepts from previous lessons Transfer the language to a slightly different topic context •a more challenging reading / listening / discussion Add a limited amount of essential new language Include any other basic / review language Practise using the language in a less controlled way •a more open speaking activity or pair-work game •a more open writing activity at the paragraph level
Round-up & evaluate Review the language and concepts from previous lessons Combine the various elements in a review task Step 4 Encourage students to self-evaluate their own progress Assign research tasks, like individual or group projects Evaluate students formally with oral / written tests
IMPORTANTE per il PROSSIMO INCONTRO: 1) Leggere almeno un LESSON PLAN tra quelli messi a disposizione tra i materiali del corso. 2) Esplorare il sito LEARNING DESIGNER (https://www.ucl.ac.uk/learning-designer/index.php)
