Module 3 - Cognition

Module 3 – Cognition

In this Module, you will begin to think about integrating one of the 5 Cs – Cognition – into a CLIL lesson.

You may be familiar with Bloom’s Taxonomy of Thinking Skills. It was revised by Anderson and Krathwohl in 2004. It includes a focus on knowledge processes.

Here is a diagram showing the progression of the 6 Thinking Skills: 



Learning Stages:
  1. Go to your Learning Diary and do: 
  2. Task 1 – Refreshing your memory 
    Task 2 – Checking understanding. 
  3. In the classroom, one way CLIL teachers help students develop their thinking skills is through the tasks we set. We can define a task as a problem to solve or objective to accomplish, often set as part of a lesson, and usually within a limited amount of time. Learners are left with some freedom in approaching the task. 

  4. The diagram of Bloom’s Wheel below exemplifies the words we can use when setting tasks in order to encourage different thinking skills. 

    We can link the taxonomy to classroom activities. 
  5. Go to your Learning Diary and do: 
  6. Task 3 – Analysing classroom tasks 
    Task 4 – Creating classroom tasks. 
  7. There are some criteria for designing a successful task. 
  8. Questions for successful task design: 
    • Will the task engage my students’ interests? 
    • Is there a clear goal or outcome? 
    • Will the students know when the task has been completed? 
    • Does the task relate to a real-world activity? 

  9. Go to your Learning Diary and do Task 5 – Evaluating tasks.
