Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) “In Use”: Ideas for a Cross-Curricular Activity for Students in the 5th Grade The Little Linguists And Explorers

Summary/Abstract: CLIL is a comprehensive, interwoven method of teaching, in which certain contents, coming from cross-curricular fields, are taught in a foreign language. The knowledge that students acquire is, thus, supplemented by a new way of storing and using information, which also involves participation of the foreign language skills, creating new competence both in the language and the respective fields of knowledge. This is a model curriculum for the 5th grade students, in which they are taught history, geography and a little environment and biology, using English. The proposed theme is The Little Linguists and Explorers: Following Christopher Columbus. The project takes place in Borşa, at the Gymnasium-Highschool, and is the result of the collaboration between the two authors of the article.
