Unlock a richer learning experience with CLIL!
In an interconnected world, language learning goes deeper than grammar and vocabulary. Deeper: A Dive into History and Culture embraces the revolutionary CLIL (Content and Language Integrated Learning) approach, which has proven its effectiveness internationally. This textbook seamlessly weaves together English language instruction with captivating topics from history and culture, ensuring students not only acquire language skills but also gain a foundational understanding of the English-speaking world.
Why culture and history matter in language acquisition:
• Deeper motivation: By teaching academic subjects through English, this book sparks genuine curiosity and motivates students to actively use and understand the language they encounter. The units explore a variety of engaging themes, from Flags & Symbols and notable Leaders to influential Inventions that have shaped our world.
• Contextual learning: Moving beyond isolated language drills, Deeper provides a rich context for language use, making new vocabulary and grammar points more memorable and relevant. Students will examine complex topics such as Colonisation & Independence and the impact of Religion on societies.
• Enhanced critical thinking: Each unit presents two core content lessons, followed by a project-based challenge where students apply critical thinking skills to research and present their own short lesson on a related topic. This encourages independent learning and reinforces both language and research skills.
Specifically designed for Japanese students, Deeper includes English-Japanese vocabulary lists and uses examples from Japanese cultural life to help students connect with and acquire key concepts. Equip your students with the tools to become not just language users, but informed global citizens.
