Sunday – a special day!

Today is Sunday! This morning, my alarm clock didn’t ring – isn’t it wonderful to sleep a little bit longer ! I don’t mind that my kids like getting up early especially on Sunday. It’s the day when I don’t need to be in a hurry as usual. Moreover, I spend more time in the kitchen and I enjoy the fact. My kids favourite menu are: spaghetti bolognese, pizza, broth, tomato soup, roast and sauce with dumplings or buckwheat and pancakes. Last time, I made pancakes with cream and they loved it. Here is the recipe:

Batter:

200 g of cream or yoghurt

200 g  of flour

two eggs

one glass of water

a pinch of salt

one teaspoon of sugar

Additions:

fromage frais, strawberry jam, sugar, chocolate cream or fruit

Directions:

Mix the ingredients until the batter is fluffy. Pour a few drops of sunflower oil onto a preheated frying pan. When the oil is hot pour the batter. Evenly spread the batter on the pan and fry till the lower side turns golden brown and then turn it on the other side. When the pancake is ready remove it from the pan. After frying you can spread  what you like -  fromage frais, sugar or chocolate cream - on it.

ENJOY YOUR MEAL and BEAUTIFUL SUNDAY!

CLIL - part 1

Today, I would like to write something about CLIL (in French EMILE). The term:

 CLIL (Content and Language Integrated Learning)

 refers to situations where subjects, or parts of subjects, are taught through a foreign language (EMILE – Enseignement de Matières par l’Intégration d’une Langue Etrangère, I used to think that EMILE could be only the name :-), by the way my neighbour’s name is Emilian). 

How should a subject (for example mathematics) be taught in a foreign language like French? 

In Poland, the students of bilingual schools take their Polish matura math examination as well as a math exam in French. This is why bilingual teaching in Poland follows the curriculum requirements and assumes the acquisition of the subject terminology in both languages. 

What is the role of language in math class lessons? 

Maybe, I will write about it tomorrow, because my kids are not happy that their mum spends so much time in front of her computer...
