Natural Sciences Sample Unit for Third


Grade Colombian Primary Education
Syllabus
Introduction
In Colombia, CLIL has
been established only in a
few schools. (Mc.Dougald,
2015)
At this time, there are not
enough materials made for
CLIL, therefore, teachers
should design new ones or One of the
CLIL (Content and
adapt the ones known disadvantages is the
Language Integrated
Learning) has been

Aims
Main objective
• The main aim is to design a Natural Sciences sample unit as part of a
Natural Sciences textbook that the author of the present dissertation
has the intention to complete.

Specific objectives
• Check the Educational Policies of Colombia
• Review the features of the CLIL approach
• Study the Task-Based Learning (TBL) methodology
• Propose diverse tasks about Nutrition, topic established in
Standards in Colombia.

2. Literature review

“CLIL is an educational
approach in which various
language-supportive
methodologies are used which
lead to a dual-focused form of
instruction where attention is
given to both the language and
the content” Coyle (2010)

The CLIL main objective is the combination of content


and language learning. In order to achieve it, the work of
the content teacher and the language teacher is a
fundamental part (Mehisto et al.,2012)

Task –Based Learning Approach
A task is an activity where students
should use the language meaningfully,
with the purpose of achieving a goal
(Ellis, 2003).
It has learner - centered educational
philosophy but also allows for teacher
input and direction.

TBL framework is
organized in three phases:
• Pre-task
• During Task
• Final task

IMPLEMENTATION PROPOSAL

The topic selected is the


Nutrition, which is
determined into the
themes for Third Grade
Primary Education in the
Sciences standards of
competences of Colombia.

The sample Unit
includes different
Colombian aspects
such as typical foods,
recognized images,
and the main
character “the cotton-
top tamarin”.

The main character is
established in the topics
throughout of the unit.
The cotton-top tamarin
“El Mono Tití
Cabeciblanco” was
selected because of it is
one of the smallest
endemic primates of
Colombia.

The Natural Sciences
Sample Unit is oriented
to the Third Grade
learners of Primary
Education of Colombia.
It is made up taking
into account the
educational policies of
Colombia.

4. Discussion
It was designed a themed unit as a pilot
sample for a future book of Natural Sciences,
carrying out the parameters established by

Alarcón,2005) .

─ Informative.
─ Transformative.
─ Systematizing
─ Consolidation and control
─ Self-coaching.
─ Integrative.
─ Coordinating. It does not apply. It
could not be carried out because of
linking the ICT tools Nevertheless, it
is a point to improve and enrich the
work.
─ Developing and educative.

Framework for materials writing
“Identification of need for materials,
exploration of need, contextual
realisation of material, pedagogical
realisation of materials, production of
materials, student use of materials, and
evaluation of materials against agreed
objectives by Jolly and Bolitho in
(Tomlinson, 2011).

Distinct core considerations for planning a


CLIL Sciences lesson were worked such as
activating prior knowledge, collaborative tasks,
cognitive challenge, developing thinking skills.
(University of Cambridge ESOL Examinations,
2011).

Conclusions
• CLIL approach should continue being
promoted in our country For this, it is
essential teachers could be trained and
much more materials could be adapted or
created.
• The Task Based Teaching is one of the
most useful and recognized
methodologies to foster different skills in
the learners. It consists in working three
tasks with a different level of thinking
objectives
• Tasks could be related to the collaborative
work

• We have designed a Natural Sciences Unit


as a pilot sample integrating the aspects
about CLIL approach and Colombian
policies

the CLIL approach in Colombia and
