CBI is used in North America while CLIL is more common in Europe. Both are based on principles of Communicative Language Teaching and aim to teach language more effectively by using it as a means to understand content rather than an end itself. The document outlines theories of language and learning underlying CBI and CLIL and discusses their design, syllabus, teaching activities, roles of learners and teachers, instructional materials, contemporary models, and procedures.
Content and language Integrated Learning (CLIL)Suresh Babu
油
Content and language integrated learning (CLIL) is an educational approach where an additional language is used as the medium of instruction to teach both content and language skills simultaneously. It was created in 1994 by David Marsh as a methodology similar to but distinct from language immersion and content-based instruction. CLIL has dual aims of teaching subject matter through the additional language as well as developing proficiency in that language. It provides opportunities for students to learn new perspectives on content while also building terminology in the target language.
The document outlines the structure and components of the ELD Standards. It describes the purposes of the Proficiency Level Descriptors which provide descriptions of student abilities across three proficiency levels. It also explains the purpose of the appendices which provide additional detail on foundational literacy skills, learning how English works, the theoretical foundations and research behind the standards. Finally, it provides an overview of the ELD Framework which is designed to support teachers in implementing instruction for ELD students and is divided into chapters covering specific grade spans.

2019 Teachers Helping Teachers presentation in Kyrgyzstan, Sept, 2019
CLIL (Content and Integrated Language Learning) is a form of instruction that attempts to emphasize both English language and content to non-native English speakers. It serves as the model of instruction for many courses taught in the liberal arts program of a small college in southern Japan, where the presenter is employed. This presentation explained CLIL through comparison with its cousins: EMI (English Medium Instruction) and CBI (Content Based Instruction). Some of the benefits of the CLIL model will be outlined. An overview of a 15-week freshman political science course meeting twice per week was presented in order to exemplify what a team-taught CLIL course might look like. Participants received a multiple-lesson plan and student materials for one of this courses 10+ readings to see the how content and language can be integrated, and provided ideas to teachers interested in this instructional model.

The document discusses the history and development of language curriculum. It describes how curriculum development involves determining learner needs, objectives, syllabus, teaching methods, and evaluation. Several historical methods are outlined, including the structural method from the 1930s-1960s. This method focused on vocabulary and grammar selection based on teachability, frequency, and learnability. Gradation approaches ordered content based on linguistic distance and communicative need. The assumptions behind syllabus design were that language consisted of vocabulary and grammar, learners had identical needs, and learning was determined by textbooks.

ELD is a daily 45-minute block of time providing explicit language instruction targeted in each language domain:
reading, writing, speaking, and listening (Genesee, Lindholm-Leary, Saunders & Christian, 2006)
ELD is provided to all EL students scoring 1-4 on the Utah Academic Language Proficiency Assessment (UALPA)
ELD provides oral language, grammar, literacy, vocabulary, and writing development that can cross other
content areas such as science and social studies (National Literacy Panel on Language-Minority Children and
Youth, 2008)
ELD occurs in Tier 1 and Tier 2 instruction
ELD time is taught by a highly qualified ESL endorsed teacher
ELD instruction is driven by on-going language assessment (Calder坦n, Salvin, & Sanchez, 2011)

6. Section 4: Procedural List for ELD Time using Go Math!
GSD 5/29/13
Elementary Math Lesson Plan Format
Granite School District policy requires elementary mathematics instruction to be 村 of the day or 90 minutes per day.
Daily Math Routines
(15 minutes for all students.)
Spiral Review Problems
Every Day Counts Calendar Activities
Problem of the Day
How will students demonstrate understanding?
ELL Supports
Give student the problem(s) the night before with
multiple choices.
Use sentence stems. (e.g., ______is a factor
of_____.)
Give problems as a multiple choice with only 2
options, but require work to be shown.
Whole Group Instruction
(45 minutes for all students.)
Steps for teaching a new core concept:
1. Setting the Stage
Use Content Objectives and Language Objectives.
(Posted on board, explained to students, restated
during lesson.)
Ask questions to access prior knowledge.
State relevance of concept to real world.
Review prerequisite skills for new concept.
How will students demonstrate understanding?
2. Teach Whole Group
Help students make connections from concrete
pictorial to abstract symbolic representations.
Include:
o Literature
o Vocabulary
o Journals
o Graphic Organizers
o Technology
o Manipulatives
o Math Talk
o MathBoards
Use Guided Practice
o I do.(Teacher demonstrates.)
o We do.(Teacher and students practice
together.)
o You do..(Students practice in cooperative
groups, in partners, or individually.)
How will students demonstrate understanding?
Note: Observe students to determine what additional on level
practice, interventions or academic extensions are needed during
Small Group.
3. Review and Discuss
Review content and language objectives.
Discuss homework/assign intended work for small
group.
How will students demonstrate understanding?
1. Setting the Stage
Have student repeat objective orally or highlight
a frequently used vocabulary word.
(e.g., reduce, multiple)
Use sentence stems to help with student
responses to questions. Gradually stop using
the sentence stems over time. It is a good
practice to post sentence stems on the wall for
easy referral.
Use real world videos or photographs to help
build prior knowledge rather than only
talking about it. (Use Safari Montage and
search by topic to find videos on rounding,
decimals, and more.)
Review with math journals to help link
understanding of prior concepts.
2. Teach Whole Group
Use peer translators.
Use the online glossary or student edition to
model vocabulary with pictures and definitions.
Use GSD Vocabulary cards and activities found
on the GSD website.
Use Guided Practice
o I do.(Teacher demonstrates.)
o We do.(Teacher and students practice
together.)
o You do..(Students practice in cooperative
groups, in partners, or individually.)
