00:54:21 Anne-Marie McQuillin: even the younger ones were very impressive and COMPETENT
00:54:47 Montserrat Padrón: and they express their appreciation of the language!
00:54:47 Laurence Gillham: Q – how many hours of ClIL learning are they doing weekly?
00:55:10 Suzi Bewell: The teacher enthusiasm has a huge effect on learners
00:55:34 Steven Fawkes: In Spain they get a lot of English time, I think
00:55:50 Carlota Camara: yes they do
00:57:01 Carlota Camara: As English teacher and class teacher in Spain and now Spanish teacher in Primary here, it is a massive different
00:57:37 Carlota Camara: That´s why embedding languages help to increase the comunication opportunities
00:58:09 Jesús Manuel Hernández González: In the Canary Island pupils have 3 or 4 sessions of English a week + 1 to 6 hours of CLIL a week, depending on the CLIL subjects involved
00:58:16 Darnelle Constant-Shepherd: Expressive Arts! My!
00:59:15 Suzi Bewell: Can’t wait to share with my department
00:59:52 Darnelle Constant-Shepherd: Me too Suzi1 sharing with my students.
01:01:00 Louise Whyte: Q I imagine the resources been piloted in a UK school? What stage? Would love to look and discuss these as part of the transition work with primary colleagues to support pupil motivation and interest in Spanish and French.
01:01:15 Janet Clarke: Wow! I am so excited, had to teach about the rainforest a couple of years ago across the school and it was difficult to find the resources.
01:01:34 Helen Myers: https://lfee.net/elapse
01:03:07 Carlota Camara: WOW this is AMAZING
01:03:19 Jesús Manuel Hernández González: Great resources! Congratulations!
01:03:33 Laurence Gillham: Agreed, it looks really exciting! The cross curricular impact is amazing! Just this morning, our RS teacher came to find us to say how we could do a cross curricular day on interfaith. I am definitely going to look closely at the projects!
01:03:37 Carlota Camara: My headteacher Will love to put in practice this in some other subjects!
01:03:45 Rosa Gonzales S.: That sounds very interesting
01:04:15 Fatima Khaled: having a lesson plan is an amazing scaffolding step. it would really help.
01:05:04 Lindsay Allen: Brilliant! IDL is the way to go. I’ve made it my life’s work and this is fantastic, just what we need😁
01:05:06 Chris Jadav: Do we know if we can use these easily on Googleclassroom?
01:05:08 Darnelle Constant-Shepherd: this is really high quality resources.
01:05:21 Chris Jadav: sometimes pp lose some features as they convert
01:05:33 Chris Jadav: They look fabulous
01:06:09 Becky Price : Is there an overall structure linking and developing the grammar across the individual lesson packs or are they all one offs?
01:06:30 Becky Price : Q Is there an overall structure linking and developing the grammar across the individual lesson packs or are they all one offs?
01:06:44 Steven Fawkes: They are separate
01:11:10 Helen Myers: Isn’t it lovely to hear Christine’s French?
01:11:28 Becky Price : Q What is the range of predicted lesson length? I saw one 45 minutes, another 120….
01:12:20 Janet Clarke: Our Year 2/3 children have just completed this as an art project, this would have been amazing to link with my French lessons in class – fantastic cross curricular for Primary children.
01:12:26 Chris Jadav: wonderful that while we can’t go to Montpellier or anywhere else very far, Christine is right in the room
01:12:39 Diana Pastoriza: It’s great to hear that, Janet!
01:12:45 Carlota Camara: lovely!
01:12:59 Helen Myers: Yes Chris!
01:13:09 Anne-Marie McQuillin: Can’t wait to try that lesson!
01:13:12 Becky Price : Lovely to see confident art production.
01:14:47 Suzi Bewell: When pupils see a purpose to the learning, engagement is a natural side effect
01:18:25 Saleta – CAFI (Santiago de Compostela, Spain): totally agree Suzi
01:18:49 Fatima Khaled: thank you Steven. very useful informations .
01:19:02 Nabila Dah: Wow that’s awesome!
01:19:09 Steven Fawkes: Ron IS from Vienna !
01:19:13 Jesús Manuel Hernández González: Thanks Steven
01:19:24 Helen Myers: Unbelievable, Steven!
01:19:26 Steven Fawkes: And he IS Austrian 🙂
01:19:38 Becky Price : Q I think it all looks great and right up my street and SLT at the Primary where I teach. I have free rein, but if I proposed to do only this sort of teaching every week for 1 hour, all year, in Year 5 and 6, what would be your opinion/comment?
01:20:28 Tracy Williams: Q How much support would non specialist primary teachers need to be able to deliver these lessons?
01:25:52 Crista Hazell (ALL): Thank you all for your questions, I have these ready to ask when the presentation is over.
01:28:04 Becky Price : Q Did the pilot lessons take place in both CLIL and non CLIL schools? What differences were noted, if any, in pupil reception/engagement to resources and performance?
01:28:26 Crista Hazell (ALL): Remember you can see all of this right now in the website: https://lfee.net/elapse The videos, text and resources, Good Practice Guide and interviews. It is free and will always be free so please do use it, share it with your colleagues, PLNs and #mfltwitterati friends too.
01:28:42 Chris Jadav: Have any of the experienced practitioners got advice on how to implement during these Covid times when we can do less pair/ group work?
01:28:54 Kerstin Zindler: Becky, my PE lessons where done in a normal non CLIL school in England
01:28:57 Chris Jadav: Asking because it would be great to make this work.
01:30:03 Becky Price : Thanks Kerstin.
01:30:53 Carlota Camara: Yes I do
01:31:41 Nabila Dah: Thank you 🙏
01:31:55 Fatima Khaled: thank you, this amazing,
01:32:14 Darnelle Constant-Shepherd: Wow! Amazing! Thank you.
01:33:10 Darnelle Constant-Shepherd: Love it Primary resources ohraah
01:34:31 Louise Whyte: thanks 🙂
01:34:44 Louise Whyte: will do
01:34:53 Janet Clarke: Lots of primary schools have topics for each term and language teachers try to link some of their lessons to these topics. We have been told we need to include other subject aims from the national curriculum including language aims.
01:34:57 Anne-Marie McQuillin: great idea for transition
01:35:42 Darnelle Constant-Shepherd: I have a planning day with my French PGCE students in December. will let you know.
01:37:33 Helen Myers: Good points about grammar.. they pick up things without realising in an authentic context.. then when you reach the bit in the course where you teach it you can refer back to it ..
01:37:46 Ronald Kemsies: Exactly
01:37:56 Brigid: Thank you for these inspiring resources
01:38:13 Chris Jadav: I’d be interested in how anyone references this in their schemes of work in an Ofsted friendly way.
01:38:14 Ronald Kemsies: There is also the notion of LEST – Language Enhanced Subject-Teaching
01:38:20 Janet Clarke: Thinking I need a visit to Scotland!!
01:38:40 Fatima Khaled: yes, impeding every day is very useful approach. Thank you Steve
01:38:45 Diana Pastoriza: Here in Galicia it depends on the number of subjects. For example, if they have music and arts and crafts they will have 4 hours of embedded English (apart from the 3 hours of English language teaching)
01:38:47 Chris Jadav: To us it makes sense, but could it seem random to a non specialist? That’s not meant to be at all rude.
01:39:18 Tracy Williams: I have similar questions and thoughts to Chris.
01:39:30 Anne-Marie McQuillin: These are great resources for teachers new to CLIL or experienced in CLIL. Thank you! Is there somewhere we can share with each other any further CLIL lessons we create ourselves?
01:39:47 Becky Price : I only go in one pm, for 1 hour per week, for 5 and 6. I have no way to include it elsewhere. eg daily routines
01:40:23 Tracy Williams: It would be really useful to see an example (at some point in the future) of a UK primary school and how they have embedded it into the schemes of learning.
01:40:39 nikki: As a PGCE trainee secondary MFL just starting out, the CLIL approach really appeals me
01:40:47 Chris Jadav: Fantastic to get languages out of the silo mentality
01:41:05 Lindsay Allen: French is embedded by Class Teachers, with core being delivered 1×50 mins by specialist in our school East Renfrewshire Scotland (Primary)
01:41:57 Janet Clarke: I can be teaching a Science lesson or an art lesson and I find myself bringing in French language automatically for example colours, numbers etc.
01:42:18 Crista Hazell (ALL): Thanks Becky – if you have only one hour per week, that’s all you can use. Do let us know how you get on with it.
01:42:19 Laurence Gillham: Thank you so much for all the work and sharing for free these amazing resources.
01:42:21 Saleta – CAFI (Santiago de Compostela, Spain): technology as a way to speak the same language of our students
01:42:28 Louise Whyte: Thank you so much
01:42:40 Louise Whyte: So interesting to engage tonight with the resources tonight
01:42:47 Jesús Manuel Hernández González: Thanks a lot for the presentation. The website looks fantastic. Full of great resources! Bravo!
01:43:27 debrawroblewski: I am classroom TA in Y1/2 but am HLTA for languages across whole school during PPA. Our current class topic is Splendid Skies with is all about weather and seasons so we are completing a calendar each morning in French covering days/date/month/season and weather
01:43:33 Saleta – CAFI (Santiago de Compostela, Spain): Yes, sharing is the way :- ) Thanks for this great initiative

01:46:48 Ronald Kemsies: That’s brilliant, Becky! Thank you!
01:47:18 Carlota Camara: Ofsted were impressed with our language teaching, I think languages are gaining a place in education and they are quite interested in how we teach it
