Oxford CLIL Literacy Natural Science

A CLIL Literacy project for Primary

The missing link between CLIL and ELT

Achieve active comprehension of content through activities adapted to the Natural Sciences curriculum and promote creative expression (both oral and written) as well as critical thinking skills. 

Oxford CLIL literacy connects English language learning and learning in content subjects taught in English: it has been created specifically to work on content in English, while developing a variety of skills, including critical and analytical reading skills, oral expression of ideas and personal opinions and creative writing. 

Teacher's material is digital only, while the student has a workbook with activities on each page to work on content at the same time as developing Reading, Speaking and Writing skills.
