What to consider in planning a CLIL lesson is to forget all about teaching in the traditional way:
forget frontal lesson,
forget reliance on your language skills,
forget passive glossary and list of terms,
forget long video clip without working on it,
before and after its vision.
(video clips cannot be longer than 3 m. ish)
and MAKE A BIG LEAP.
