Looking at my subject, most of it consists of units with mathematic formulas, so I decided for my first CLIL implementation to do a more theoric content to make it more suitable for my students, therefore I decided to implement the unit about energy and energy resources. 

​

I thought of an ICT activity as the first one to try to make my students more confident about the English language, especially as a speaking activity. I implemented this activity to the four 2n ESO classes and depending on which one, the activity went better than the other ones. Some of the students were afraid to make mistakes so it was a bit difficult some times to try to make them speak. On the other hand, other students were very keen on doing science in English, even some students who were quite disconnected during classes in Catalan, during CLIL classes they participate and seemed more motivated. 

​

After the implementation, I have learnt a lot of things. From my point of view, the preparation of CLIL activities demand more warm-up activities to help the students as well as scaffolding as supporting material and requires an awareness of the improvement of students and if the activities you are doing really help them to learn the subject as well as the English language. Without this class planning, the implementation would have been more difficult for me as well as for my students.  

​

Taking in practice these activities made me more aware of the different level of knowledge of my students, and every one is unique and the needs of each one are very different. However, I have seen that most of the students have enjoyed the experience of learning science in English and some of them have become more shameless in comparison to their behaviour in the first classes.
