Lesson plan -Complication 4 Dictogloss: (teacher focused) • Preparatory exercise: showing the slide with the worlde ( from the text,you are going to read out) look at the slide below! • Task: Tell your students you are going to read out a short text about the topic Face Kini.Tell them that they might hear some words they do not recognize but that they should do their best not to let these impair overall comprehension and that they should take notes. • Explain the difference between content words and function words: e.g. • Most learners in CLIL programmes are not fluent. • …learners…CLIL…. …. not fluent ( content!) • Most…in… …are not…. ( function) 13

( ask them to write down the new words that they grasp, preferably in another, coloured pen ,so that they get aware of which parts of speech get noticed with a second/third listening) • After each reading try to elicit more facts and language from your students to add to the existing list on the board. • Now put your students into pairs or small groups and ask them to work together to reconstruct the text as accurately as they an remember it. Tell them they have to incorporate all of the facts and language items that have been written on the board. • Allow different groups to compare their texts.

'face-kinis' by Chinese netizens ( a person who uses the Internet ). They can be found on crowded public beaches in Qingdao in northeastern Shandong province. The face masks were initially designed to protect from sunburn but it turns out they are also quite handy at repelling ( to force something or someone to move away or stop attacking you;This coat has a special surface that repels moisture) insects and jellyfish. The clothing was invented around seven years ago and is now under mass production and on sale at swimwear stores along the coast.

- 33. 33 Lesson plan_ ADAPTABILITY_CONTEXT Content-Cognition-Culture-Communication CONTEXT: (the situation within which something exists or happens, and that can help explain it.) The lesson plan was used in the following contexts: • Bfi: • Lehre mit Matura ( 16-18 year old adolescents with a working background) • Berufsreifepruefung ( 19-45 year olds ,who are integrated in the work process) • HTL: • Department of Art and Design • Classes:1-4 • Department of Civil Engineering/Architecture • Classes:2; vocational preparation course for the Austrian MATURA ( A levels; graduation of secondary school) for people in work
- 34. CONCEPTUAL SEQUENCE _FINDINGS • This conceptual sequence worked well with all the students, footnote:1.(Destination B1;M.Mann e.g.);2.worksheets:Voc in Use ( F O’Dell e.g.) 34 although: • There is a lot of diversity with age ,interests, intellectual capacities, levels of English • The groups I teach are all mixed ability groups ( in one group you often find CEFR levels from A2 – C1) • The Revision paper showed that all of them remembered the syntactical structures of the text on “Face Kinis” up to 95%,used the respective vocab with ease and wrote qualified comments on the issue • Interestingly, only those who worked on the new words ( from the voc worksheets on beach and holiday) did well in the respective exercises • It was also revealing that those who often missed class did very poorly in the revision paper, making it even more obvious how much they missed by not participating in the lessons. • Some examples of revision papers are shown below
- 35. CONCEPTUAL SEQUENCE _FINDINGSff The sequence worked out well, as the class work was highly procedural and scaffolded (the students are not particularly focused on English, thus the effort to do work at home is very minimal, due to long school hours, long commuting times, a burden of many subject related assignments, a general laid -back attitude to anything other than their personal interests.) My understanding of the sequence is that it can be used • in various contexts, • with any age group, • is adaptable to specific various needs, • can be expanded to suit the needs of subject related matter ( tourism, natural science, geography history, educational issues like risk of too high exposure to the sun, environmental awareness ( UV Radiation, Ozone layer…;and many more I suppose) • is pleasurable and educational at the same time • connects nicely to transitional periods like vacation time 35
