The POOLS-T CLIL
teams (Horizon College
and Athena College met
in the Netherlands in
January 2010 to prepare

project.

Gordon Wells from the
Scottish POOLS-T team has
developed a suite of
flexible
self-teach/self-test
English exercises
suitable for CLIL, based
on Island Voices video
material.
They can be accessed
here
They are configured as
four separate units.
Unit One may be
considered suitable for
students of a range of
disciplines, eg rural or
sustainable development,
or business studies, as
well as those interested
in joinery and/or
furniture restoration.
Unit Two would suit
those studying on a
Care-related vocational
course - particularly in
relation to Special
Needs.
Unit Three could be
suitable for Domestic
Science as well as
Travel and Tourism.
Unit Four links closely
to Unit Three, but
perhaps is better suited
for students of
Catering, Food Hygiene
etc.
Equally all four units
might be studied in a
more general course with
an area studies slant.
The text-blender has
been used to provide
English to English
definitions. If anyone
would like to add other
languages, please feel
free. We would be
delighted if
English-teaching project
partners would like to
try this material out
with their own students.
I'm sure it can be
further improved!
Jan
Hardie from the POOLS-T
Swiss team has
prepared three online
exercises suitable for
CLIL, each unit has
video and text in
English with all words
linked from English to
Italian and is followed
by exercises:
