If you were not limited by the demands of the national/regional curriculum, what would you say is the most important thing you would teach your students about your subject (in a CLIL context)? How would you assess their learning?

As a Preschool teacher I think there are some things children have to know more than others, so if I were not limited by the demands of the national/regional curriculum I would like to teach more routines and habits in english. I think is essential to lay down a good foundation for the future. I know the importance of different subjects but I think nowadays children don´t know basic knowledges we use daily, specially simple things like how to say thanks in english or good morning. In this age we have to teach standards of conduct more than knowledge.

At Preschool, children should learn playing games and experiencing different situations, and we can introduce all this experiences using the english language. If preschoolers get use to listen their teachers in english, we will encourage their knowledge in the language and is in this age when we have to start to do it. 

Nowadays there are lots of Clil resources to use in the class with our students, lots of english websites for preschoolers that are funnier and more useful than the books. We must be aware of the age and create good resources for our children because they are the future of our society.

To sum up, the students should be assessed unconsciously through the games. I will assess their attitude which has to be positive and participatory. The teacher can make reflections about the learning and teaching process to improve the methodology.
