CLIL teachers may well be aware of Cummins' matrix which can be used to judge the difficulty levels of cognitive and language elements of any particular lesson. The simple matrix is shown below with a couple of examples of activities inserted in appropriate places.


However, this post is about an awareness-raising tool created by an international team of CLIL experts, which cross-combines content, language, integration and learning with culture, communication, cognition and community. The ensuing 16 indicators lead to examples and a number of questions for CLIL teachers to answer about their own teaching.
