CHE COSA E' IL CLIL? L'acronimo «Clil» (CONTENT AND LANGUAGE INTEGRATED LEARNING) racchiude tutta una serie di metodologie innovative a tutti i livelli di scolarità e formazione in cui l'acquisizione delle lingue straniere non viene considerata un fine ma un mezzo per l'apprendimento di altri contenuti. In pratica, si tratta dell'insegnamento di una disciplina ( matematica, scienze, storia, geografia...) in una lingua diversa dalla propria lingua madre. Il vantaggio è che si sviluppano competenze linguistiche anche parziali, si imparano gerghi professionali specifici e si forniscono agli studenti nuove motivazioni che stimolino l'apprendimento di una lingua, mostrandone l'utilità anche pratica.
Il CLIL, dunque
- è impostato quindi su obiettivi di apprendimento sia per la lingua sia per la disciplina
- è learner-centred: prevede un apprendimento attivo e collaborativo
- è task-based : richiede allo studente maggiore interazione e manipolazione dei contenuti, quindi una partecipazione attiva
- è uno stile di insegnamento meno espositivo che permette un’organizzazione collaborativa della classe: gli studenti interagiscono tra loro in gruppo o in coppia incrementando la produzione orale e l’autonomia
- si avvale di supporti multimediali
- consente un uso di metodologie didattiche differenziate, adeguate all’ età degli alunni, al compito, al contesto, alle competenze da sviluppare, ai diversi stili di apprendimento
- prevede lo scaffolding, cioè l’uso di strategie per sostenere l’apprendimento
PERCHE' FARE CLIL?
-sviluppa abilità di comunicazione interculturale
-sviluppa una mentalità multilinguistica
-dà opportunità concrete per studiare i contenuti disciplinari da diverse prospettive
-migliora le competenze linguistiche e le abilità di comunicazione orale nella lingua straniera
-consente allo studente un maggior contatto con la lingua obiettivo
-aumenta la motivazione dei discenti e la fiducia in sè sia nella lingua sia nella disciplina
-completa le altre materie invece che competere con le altre
-diversifica i metodi e le pratiche in classe

Who was Pythagoras ?
Pythagoras lived in the 6th century B.C. and was one of the first Greek mathematical thinkers. He spent most of his life in the Greek colonies in Sicily and Southern Italy. He had a group of followers who followed him around and taught other people what he had taught them. The Pythagoreans were known for their pure lives (they didn't eat fava beans, for example, because they thought fava beans were not pure enough). They wore their hair long, and wore only simple clothing, and went barefoot. Both men and women were Pythagoreans.
Pythagoreans were interested in philosophy, but especially in music and mathematics, two ways of making order out of chaos. Music is noise that makes sense, and mathematics is a set of rules for how the world works.
Pythagoras himself is best known for proving that Pythagorean Theorem was true. The Sumerians, two thousand years earlier, already knew that it was generally true, and they used it in their measurements, but Pythagoras is said to have proved that it would always be true. We don't really know whether it was Pythagoras that proved it, because there is no evidence for it until the time of Euclid, but that is the tradition. While we call it Pythagorean Theorem, it was also known by Indian, Greek, Chinese and Babylonian mathematicians well before he lived.
