What is CLIL? ¿Qué es AICLE?

THE LEARNING STRATEGY YOU WILL USE IN ORDER TO ACHIEVE THE OBJECTIVES OF YOUR PROGRAM TAKING INTO ACCOUNT THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE IS:

LA ESTRATEGIA DE APRENDIZAJE PARA ALCANZAR LA CONSECUCIÓN DE LOS OBJETIVOS DE SU PROGRAMA A PARTIR DE LA LENGUA INGLESA ES LA SIGUIENTE:

CLIL: Content and Language Integrated Learning

'CLIL refers to situations where subjects, or parts of subjects, are taught through a foreign language with dual-focussed aims, namely the learning of content, and the simultaneous learning of a foreign language'. (Marsh, 1994)

This approach involves learning subjects such as history, geography or others, through an additional language. It can be very successful in enhancing the learning of languages and other subjects, and developing in the youngsters a positive ‘can do’ attitude towards themselves as language learners. (Marsh, 2000)

AICLE: Aprendizaje Integrado de Contenidos y Lenguas Extranjeras

"AICLE hace referencia a las situaciones en las que las materias o parte de las materias se enseñan a través de una lengua extranjera con un objetivo doble, el aprendizaje de contenidos y el aprendizaje simultaneo de una lengua extranjera. " (Marsh, 1994).

"El Aprendizaje Integrado de Lenguas Extranjeras y otros Contenidos Curriculares implica estudiar asignaturas como la historia o las ciencias naturales en una lengua distinta de la propia. AICLE resulta muy beneficioso tanto para el aprendizaje de otras lenguas (francés, inglés,...) como para las asignaturas impartidas en dichas lenguas. El énfasis de AICLE en la “resolución de problemas” y “saber hacer cosas” hace que los estudiantes se sientan motivados al poder resolver problemas y hacer cosas incluso en otras lenguas." (Navés y Muñoz, 2000)

HUMAN RESOURCES MANAGEMENT

WHAT IS HUMAN RESOURCES MANAGEMENT?

Human resource management (HRM, or simply HR) is a function in organizations designed to maximize employee performance of an employer's strategic objectives.HR is primarily concerned with the management of people within organizations, focusing on policies and systems. HR departments and units in organizations typically undertake a number of activities, including employee recruitment, training and development, performance appraisal, and rewarding (e.g., managing pay and benefit systems).[3] HR is also concerned with industrial relations, that is, the balancing of organizational practices with requirements arising from collective bargaining and from governmental laws. HR is a product of the human relations movement of the early 20th century, when researchers began documenting ways of creating business value through the strategic management of the workforce. The function was initially dominated by transactional work, such as payroll and benefits administration, but due to globalization, company consolidation, technological advances, and further research, HR as of 2015 focuses on strategic initiatives like mergers and acquisitions, talent management, succession planning, industrial and labor relations, and diversity and inclusion.

SEARCHING THE INTERNET! 

The Internet is a great place to get lots of information. In fact, if you aren't careful you might getinformation overload! When we use the Internet to get information, it's necessary to remember some very important things.

1. Anyone can put anything on the Internet, and anyone can say they are an expert, even if they aren't. How can you protect yourself from the fake experts and get information from the real ones? One way is to pay attention to the URL of the website you are visiting. A website that ends in .gov, for example, is a website that belongs to the government. 


• Another website ending is .edu, which stands for education. 


• Another common ending is .org. At first, .org (for organization) was for non-profit organizations or non-commercial groups, but more recently this is not necessarily true.


• In the same way, .com was originally set up for commercial use.


• There are now many additional domains that people can use to make their URLs. (.info, .tv, other country domains, as well as many more)


• Some free sites let you make a webpage and store it on their site. They usually have a lot of advertisements on the page too. An example of this would be the geocities.com site.


2. There are many search engines that can look for information on the Internet. All of them are useful, but I like Google (www.google.com) the best. It uses a special way to decide which sites are the most popular and the most linked by other sites, and it uses that information to help decide which sites will show up first.


• When you search for a site through Google or through other sites, there are also some things to remember. First, always look for the sponsored links note at the top or to the right on the results page. A sponsored link is there because a company paid some money to the search engine to appear on the first page. 
• When you search for something, the more precise the information you put in the search box, the better your search will be. 
• There's another way you can limit the number of hits. If you put quotation marks around words, it means you want the search engine to find the words together in exactly that order. 


• Another helpful way you can search for something is to use the + or - signs. 


3. One of the websites that often comes out at the top of a search is Wikipedia. A wiki is an on-line discussion that different people can participate in. Each person can make changes and improve whatever is written in the wiki. Wikipedia is an on-line encyclopedia that uses this method to correct and gather information. In general, the information in Wikipedia is as correct as the information in an encyclopedia.
