Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL) is an educational approach that uses techniques and strategies to help facilitate the simultaneous learning of language and content.
CLIL Academy helps schools successfully implement such techniques and strategies across various academic levels and curricula.
CLIL Academy offers innovative lessons taught by native English-speaking content specialists. The lessons are designed to increase students' English language proficiency while enhancing their knowledge and understanding of a particular academic topic. Content may be selected from, or aligned with, an established curriculum, or may focus on special topics. Recent topics have included: the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs); economics, business and entrepreneurship; the mathematics of pandemics; and ethical dilemmas associated with AI-powered autonomous vehicles.
For educational institutions interested in improving an existing CLIL or immersion program, or for those wishing to offer such programs in the future, CLIL Academy offers a number of professional advisory services including: curriculum planning, assistance with the selection and use of learning materials and technology, assistance with marketing and student recruitment, assistance with the recruitment and/or training of teachers, and advice regarding the communication of program objectives to internal and external stakeholders.
CLIL Academy produces video-based training that may be used by instructors to support in-class teaching, or may be used by students for self-study. A sample video, entitled "How to Solve Word Problems," is presented here. This is one in a series of junior high school-level mathematics videos based upon content presented in The SHIN-CHU-MON textbooks published by Kyouiku Kaihatsu Shuppan, Ltd. To aid students' understanding of the content, each textbook in the 3-volume series is published in both English and Japanese.
This video describes how to extract mathematical information from a word problem, express that information as one or more algebraic expressions, and then construct an equation (using those expressions) to solve the problem.
This video explains the mathematical meaning of "regularity" and introduces a problem requiring the derivation and use of an algebraic equation to calculate the number of matchsticks needed to create a repeating "regular" pattern.
