Integrated Learning: Blend Language

Learning with Science

Planning Lessons with the 4Cs• Content- How can we make the material

more accessible to our language learners? What might they already know about the topic?

• Communication- What vocabulary will students need to use? What grammar structures will they use?

• Cognition- What thinking tasks will they do? Classifying, identifying, etc.

• Culture- What cultural considerations can you make?

Go beyond traditional teaching
