Visit a technical English unit where you can learn how to solder. All words are linked to +100 languages. After the unit you can work through language teaching exercises: Like finding answers, fill-in the blank, crossword, matching sentence halves, and find the sequence of words. The unit address is https://clilstore.eu/cs/2244
The texts,
audio and
exercises are
based on
original texts
from Siemens.com
dealing with PLC
(Programmable
Logic Control).
The units
contain
Technical
English and are
suitable for
e.g.
electricians and
engineers.
Each unit contains
text with audio followed
by exercises.

An old unit mainly for electricians called "Jacob's Ladder". The video clip in the unit was captured at the 500 kV Eldorado substation near Boulder City, Nevada by power company engineers and maintenance staff. It shows a three-phase air disconnect switcher attempting to open the high voltage supply to a large three phase shunt line reactor. The line reactor is the huge transformer-like object behind the truck at the far right at the end of the clip. Line reactors are large iron core coils which are used to compensate for the effects of line capacitance on long extra high voltage (EHV) transmission lines. Internally, each phase of the reactor is connected through a large coil to ground. Each coil within the reactor is capable of providing 33.3 Million Volt Amperes of inductive reactance (MVAR) at 290 kV between each phase to ground. The unit is complete with language exercises

Twenty years ago we (the BP-BLTM teams) created a simulation titled "Airport". Airport is a simulation that can be used by students with a language competence around level A1-A2 (European Language Portfolio). In 2025 audio recordings have been added so students with dyslexia can participate on even terms in the simulation. The audio has been made using ai: https://elevenlabs.io/
The simulation
can be played in groups with three
to five students (if less than five
in a group then some students will
have to have more than one profile
in the simulation).
The simulation
is self explanatory; each student is
given a text with a personal
profile, the students read and
inform the other group members about
the content. The texts are available in eight languages. The English version of the five profiles are availble online with all words linked to dictionaries in +100 languages:
When all
members of a group know the given
information the success of the group
in the simulation depends on
following the information and having
a proper strategy.
The students
should not be allowed to speak their
own language during the simulation.
To play the
simulation the students need 81 map
squares. Each square has a top side
with a number, the squares represent
parts of a land map. The students
can move across the map by choosing
squares, when a square is chosen the
students turn around the map square
to see the bottom side which has
information.
Before class
the teacher should print the file
with the map squares and cut out
these.
