This is the end of unit assessment . Students have to take all of the retail theories and factors that they have learnt about in previous lessons and apply these to the design of a shopping centre . They then self and peer assess the work .There are two sheets which can be used as checklists. Each student presents the justification of their design to their teacher .
There are exemplar pieces of work to show what can be achieved . The plan for the centre is drawn in plan view.
Students absolutely love this task , find it very accessible and thoughtfully apply concepts and justify them. The task is very motivating and creative.
This lesson looks at the issues for and against toursim in Antarctica . Students are led through the issues via a powerpoint and then work in groups to produce a radio broadcast with people taking roles for and against tourism on this continent.

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.
