The document discusses using a blog to support CLIL (Content and Language Integrated Learning) in a primary school in Lleida, Spain. It outlines the school's CLIL projects, challenges of implementing CLIL, and how the blog is used to scaffold learning as students learn science through English. Updates to the blog provide resources for students and teachers. Future plans include reflecting on subjects and units to structure the blog to better meet student needs and improve CLIL implementation.

5. What is CLIL-AICLE? CLIL offers opportunities to allow youngsters to use another language naturally, in such a way that they soon forget about the language and only focus on the learning topic. It is usually done through putting aside some time in the school week for learning subjects or special modules through another language. In CLIL the learning of language and other subjects is mixed in one way or another. This means that in the class there are two main aims, one related to the subject, topic, or theme, and one linked to the language. It can be done in many ways. For example it might involve 8 year olds having 30 minutes of language showers per week, in which they sing songs or play games in the other language. It could involve 13 year olds learning as much as half or more of all their lessons in the other language. ‘ The conscious teaching of content rather than language, using methods more in line with the subject being taught, but with an informed sensitivity to linguistic issues ’ (Do Coyle)
