These resources are the articles which have been written over the years to share the development of CLIL in three different schools. There is a powerpoint which accompanies it which sums up the main findings of a research report which was presented at the National CLIL Conference in June 2023 at Sheffield Hallam Uni. Since then results have been published for the third school for the first year after CLIL was stopped there and this new research is now incorporated in the final report which is available as a separate file in my shop. . This report is the result of teacher research carried out for 18 years at 3 different schools. It sums up the value of CLIL in whole school improvement. As a senior leader in each of these three schools I established 3 programmes of CLIL. **The extraordinary outcomes in terms of raising attainment and improving progress are now here for all to see. **This could help to provide evidence that learning through languages really can improve schools dramatically. I will also be uploading the articles that I have written and had published over the years which are referenced in the report. This is I believe the first report on CLIL in the UK that links it to school improvement . Please send me a message via this site if you need any questions answered or want to know more. All the resources in my shop are those uses in the CLIL programmes so it is easy to see what to do to achieve amazing results . Each of the articles used in the report is attached so you can see these quickly and easily if you are interested .

**Money from this assembly will be donated to the UK disaster fund to support refugees from Ukraine **This powerpoint for an assembly takes the guess how much I love you story and it shows images from Ukraine alongside the story. There is a music link which can be played at the start and end of the assembly .

This report written in Oct 2023 shows the results of 3 schools where CLIL was used over a period of 18 years. It shows that each of these three schools had greater progress and attainment for CLIL cohorts. Before and after CLIL, cohorts performed less well. CLIL is also shown to be an inclusive strategy as disadvantaged students and those of all abilities performed better in CLIL cohorts. This report shows that MFL can be placed at the heart of school improvement , motivating both students and staff and solving some of the problems leading to current decline in the uptake of languages in the UK. Please send me a message in your review if you read this and have any thoughts about it . This has taken me 5 years to process and write, with help from Professor Do Coyle who has written the preface. Do, who is based at the University of Edinburgh is a leading expert on CLIL both nationally and internationally. There are two files , the smaller one is just the front cover , the main report is the larger file . Accompanying articles listed in the reference list of the report are available free of charge in another resource posted here.

I was invited by Bernadette Clinton Hackney Languages Adviser to talk at her conference in June 2024 about school improvement and CLIL. This powerpoint was the one I used at the conference. It begins with information about international school improvement and shows how Finland , Canada and Estonia have high places in the PISA tables . These countries have at least 12% of their schools involved in CLIL and immersion strategies. What is interesting is to watch the you tube link and watch how Canada and Finland remain highly ranked throughout the beginning of the 21st Century as their programmes are already embedded. However watch how Estonia rises rapidly as its programme which began in 2000 embeds. The other really amazing thing is to look at the 2022 table of PISA results and note that Finland, Canada and Estonia have the highest SCience results outside of the Far East. This link between Science and CLIL progress and attainment is something that I too have found in my research based on the three schools where I introduced it. The powerpoint outlines why CLIL aids school improvement and how it does so. It also gives background to the reasons why it has not taken off in the UK and why there is an imperative to improve schools and languages in the UK Please provide a review of this resource if you read it or use it and I am very willing to answer any questions you may have
