Hot topics

I have just finished unwrapping all of my presents. The Three Wise Men have been particularly generous to me, likely they found some good deals during Boxing Day. I hope the new year brings you new ideas and inspirations. For me, these are the ideas I would like to explore some time this year on the blog:

• CLIL, examples of resources created in different schools. What are the key features that enhance the quality of CLIL resources?

• Do we need to assess the language or just the content in the subject areas taught in Spanish? Are there examples of best practices available?

• How can we improve students' writing skills? Any inspiring activities around?

• Short films: how to use them to talk about topics that can can be related to other subject areas such ELA or Social Studies? What about a Cinema Studies subject area for high school bilingual, could it be possible?

• Explore more examples of international collaboration between schools.

• Continue identifying suitable texts (novels, short stories, poems) for our bilingual programs that can also complement other subject area studies.

• Continue my research of ICT that can help our bilingual programs.

These are my blog new year's resolutions. I just hope that they don't fall into oblivion, like it happens with many new year's resolutions of the past! .
