AIMS OF THE UNIT
 Describing what are “Thinking skills”
 Reviewing some theories about Thinking skills
 Analysing the relation between Cognitive Academic
Language Proficiency and Thinking Skills.
 Knowing how to use Thinking skills in CLIL lessons
JSP 2011-2012
ACADEMIC LANGUAGE
PROFICIENCY (CALP)
 Type of language that allows for the transfer of academic
skills from one language to another.
 The aim of high quality bilingual education.
 BICS: Basic Interpersonal Communication Skills
 Promotion of language skills in combination with subjectrelated tasks.
 Work with texts, documents, pictures, graphs, films.
 Develop language skills more than in traditional foreign
language lessons.
JSP 2011-2012
THINKING SKILLS
 The particular ways in which people apply their minds
to solving problems.
 The human capacity to think in conscious ways to
achieve certain purposes.
 Habits of intelligent behaviour learned through
practice.
 Mental capacities we use to investigate the world, to
solve problems and make judgements.
JSP 2011-2012
THINKING SKILLS
 Essential to effective learning
 Include processes such as:
 Remembering
 Planning
 Reasoning
 Imagining
 Solving problems
 Making decisions and judgements
 Translating thoughts into words

THINKING SKILLS
 John Clegg: “The truth is that schools don’t often teach
these skills explicitly. Instead, teachers hope that their
learners will pick them up.”
 Today’s
education is more than just learning
knowledge and thinking; it also involves learners’
feelings, beliefs and the cultural environment of the
classroom.
JSP 2011-2012
THINKING SKILLS
 Learners must develop awarenwess of themselves as
thinkers and learners, practise strategies for effective
thinking and to develop the habits of intelligent
behaviour, not only store knowledge in their memories
for future use.
 Good
teaching: not just achieving particular
curriculum objectives but also developing general
thinking skills and learning behaviours.

MARZANO’S TAXONOMY (2000)
 Based on the Knowledge Domain: information, mental
procedures and physical procedures.
 Three systems:
 Cognitive:


Knowledge retrieval (remembering and understanding)
Comprehension (graphic organizers)
Analysis (matching, classifying, generalizing, specifying)
Knowledge use (investigating, projecting, web questing)
 Self: learner’s attitudes, beliefs, feelings, motivation.
 Metacognitive: learning to learn.
JSP 2011-2012
TEACHING THINKING SKILLS
 CLIL lessons: great cognitive challenges.
 Thinking skills are developed through:
 Cognitive challenge
 Collaborative work
 Metacognitive discussion
 Teaching thinking skills and language is needed.
 Association of language to speech acts needed in the
classroom.

THINKING SKILLS AND LANGUAGE
Thinking skills
Language needed
remembering
Questions using “who, what, where, when, which,
how, how much/many”
Tasks using “describe, choose, define, find, label,
colour, match, underline”
Structures as “That’s a…”, “This is a kind of…”, “This
is for…”, etc.
understanding
Questions using “Is this the same as…?”, “What’s
the difference…?”
Tasks using “classify, explain, show, give an
example, use a diagram”
Structures as “This is …. but that one …”, “This
has…. but that one….”, “This causes…”, “This goes
here because….”
applying
Questions using “What would happen if…?”, “How
much change is there if you…?”
Tasks using “explain, show the results”
Structures as “What shall we do first…?”, “This
must be…. because….”, “It can’t be…”
Using surveys, web quests, information records,….
