Scaffolding in CLIL classrooms
I just listened to this insightful podcast episode on scaffolding: https://youtu.be/nRgZw0ynbS4
It explores how we can support students effectively by offering guidance without doing the work for them and gradually help them take ownership of their learning. Several points really stood out:
Start with structured support, then gradually withdraw it.
Tailor scaffolding to each student’s zone of proximal development.
Scaffolding is dynamic and evolves as learners gain confidence and competence.
I’d love to hear your thoughts:
How do you scaffold in your CLIL lessons without over-supporting?
Have you found any strategies particularly effective for mixed-ability classes?
Share your experiences, tips, or even challenges you face.
