I began to hear about the CLIL methodological approach when I was studying my Primary Education degree in Complutense University. I saw some basic concepts about CLIL in the English teaching subject, but they were explained in a brief way. I had no opportunity to put into practice the basic principles of CLIL then. However, that problem is solved because I have been seeing and using CLIL in the Master’s Degree in Bilingual Education. During the last months I’ve learned many things about CLIL (strategies, resources…) through different ways that you can see in my personal mind map.
To make my PLE and PLN, I used the web tool “Coggle”. At first, I didn´t know what
tool I could use but I decided to use this web tool because it is very easy and
in its free version there are many different characteristics to create an
original and attractive diagram or mind map about the learning of CLIL. I can say that a positive
aspect of this tool is that you can add images to your diagram. Now, I’m going
to describe why I chose the elements, which appear in my diagram, that I
divided into five parts.
PLE
1. Search
- YouTube: I found songs for the lessons related to CLIL and practical demonstrations with children.
- Moodle (URJC): This tool allows to share projects, ideas, information about CLIL with the classmates and the teachers.
- Google: I use this server for everything: information, pictures …
- Websites / Blogs: I use them to look for characteristics, information… to use in the CLIL lessons, activities…

- Twitter: I use it to share thoughts and clarify doubts about CLIL.
2. Communication

3.
Surfing the Internet (Look for…)

4.

PLN
I put my PLN link to my PLE,
because they share different elements.
This is my diagram for my PLE and PLN for CLIL.
