Links to the
prior lesson
This is the group’s first lesson through CLIL, and they usually have a different teacher for Japanese. As a result, the
previous two Japanese lessons have been with this CLIL teacher to help get to know each other’s teaching and
learning styles, classroom language, and classroom dynamics. Being new to CLIL, developing historical domain
knowledge (feudalism and social classes) through a focus on Japanese history provides a sense of familiarity with
their regular routine.
