LESSON PLAN
Aim
Each student will produce a personal website with content
Level
Language levels A2-B1 (the reading tasks differ in
complexity and will/can be allocated according to the
student level)
Information and Communication Technology
Subject
Approx. time
overall
Language
12 lessons of 45 minutes. This is the minimum time
required! During testing some classes needed four extra
lessons.
The students need a minimum language level between A2
and B1 for the content part of the work, in cases where one
or more students fall below this level the content teacher
has to assist with more basic instructions or even (in rare
cases) revert to the native language.
Both the language and the content teacher have to ensure
that the students know the specific vocabulary for the
technical part of the online tutorial/instruction texts;
scaffolding can make use of word lists, yellow stickers with
core vocabulary and the native translation on the other
side, but main aid for the vocabulary is the Multidict facility
used in Wordlink and Clilstore (www.multidict.net). The
language teaching methodology of the lesson is based on
the Task Based Learning approach, this means that
language corrections where possible/suitable should wait
until the post task phase of the lessons (Activity 5)
The language aims of the lessons are to ensure that the
students know and master the grammar associated with
the use of passive voice for descriptions and active voice /
imperative for instructions.
During the lessons the students will work with and
strengthen language skills like:
-How to understand instructions and strategies for dealing
with not understanding
-How to describe
-How to explain
-How to justify/present a case, e.g. regarding netiquette
and graphics design.

The students are given the overall task description: "The
Web Page Task has been completed when each student in the
class has created a personal web page with headline, graphics,
text, links, and a link to the student’s personal e-mail account."
The class is divided into four groups with a dedicated task

Activity 2
Procedure
The students work in the four groups. Each group prepares
a worksheet / hand-out for the other groups and a
PowerPoint presentation.
During the work with reading online documents and
tutorial each student fill in a “Language Paper” with
language points based on the language part of their briefs:
“Find ten “interesting” sentences from the online
documents you have read during this task. Write them on
the “Language Paper” with your comments.
Find five examples of verbs in the imperative form. Write
them on the “Language
Paper” with your comments, i.e. why is the imperative form
used?
Find five examples of verbs in the passive form (passiv).
Write them on the “Language Paper” with your comments,
i.e. why is the passive form used?”
