In den Handreichungen für die jeweiligen BHS gibt es in den beispielhaften Unterrichtssequenzen jeweils eine Beschreibung von language-related learning outcome und content-related learning outcome, sprich, ein Lernziel, das die Sprachkompetenz erweitern soll, und eines, das die Sachfachinhalte betrifft.
Wozu ist es nötig, sich darüber konkret Gedanken zu machen?
Let’s think about it:
When you design a CLIL lesson, you naturally consider what your students should be able to do with what they’ve learned — in other words, their competences.
A content-related learning outcome is usually quite clear for Austrian CLIL teachers, who are primarily subject teachers. However, it is often much more challenging to define the language-related learning outcomes of a CLIL lesson.
A typical answer might be: “The vocabulary of my subject.”
That’s absolutely correct — but is there more?
Yes, there is. Consider the following examples (taken from lesson plans in the HLFS Handreichung):
- My students can read for detail and summarize the most important information.
- My students can describe a process.
- My students can compare information from different sources.
- My students can watch a video for detail.
As a subject teacher, you are already familiar with many of these competences — you use them yourself all the time. Yet, you may never have reflected on them consciously. Why would you? This is language; you simply use it as a tool to achieve your teaching aims.
However, in CLIL we go one step further: we think about the language that is needed to achieve a content-related learning goal, and we actively help our students master that language.
CLIL bedeutet also, dass wir die Sprache bewusst nutzen, um Lernziele zu erreichen. Indem wir auch die sprachlichen Lernziele definieren, unterstützen wir unsere Lernenden dabei, sich Schritt für Schritt die jeweilige Fachsprache anzueignen – und dadurch auch die Inhalte gut zu verstehen.
Ein kleiner Tipp zu dem Thema, wie der Fokus auf Language das Verstehen des Contents vertiefen kann (am Beispiel Geschichte), sei hier im Vlog von Phil Ball & Keith Kelly (ab Minute 27:38) gegeben: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V0VYC9s7QYY
