Clil 4 Steam

Jolanta Martyncevienė Lithuania	I found this project useful from the content point of view, as well international cooperation and common activities developed by teachers together motivates staff. Pupils like additional resources, especially when they are visual (video material).
Barladeanu Alina Romania	From the point of view of the teacher of English, all of the materials/videos are very useful first of all because by using them we can expose our students to different accents and varieties of English. Also, the materials can be used as a starting point for different discussions in the classroom and they help students develop their listening skills. Moreover, these materials help students acquire key words related to Science.
Ungureanu Alice Mădălina Romania	All sources of biology are useful because they present biological processes in an attractive and well documented way.
Antoniță Carmen Romania	The most useful sources, from my interest point of view, would be the videos produced for the Biology discipline; videos like Proteins - compounds in food or Stem Cells or The Greenhouse Effect. The materials prove scientific reliability and presents attractiveness for the students. The materials are authentic. The contents are very well explained and the language use is very clear. Therefore, the learning of content and the simultaneous learning of a foreign language is very well integrated.
Brânzilă Carmen Romania	The content of the video relates to chemistry as well as technology, which is very useful as it encourages students to make connections. The topic is also a current issue, plastics and polymers. The explanations are clear and concise, and their content is further made explicit by drawings. The video focuses on preventing plastic waste and using recycle whenever possible. I highly appreciate the summary at the end of the video which reviews the main points of the lesson, encouraging students to reflect on what they have just learned. If they watch the video at home and think they have not understood a point, they can watch the video again - also useful to practice and consolidate their English.
Pascal Gabriela Romania	The most suggestive and relevant materials for students are from video library. For us, the teachers are very useful and inspiring the lesson plans. I also appreciate the interactive evaluation methods in this project.
Juncu Ioan Romania	Properties of metals 1: Physical Properties was a really useful material for me and my students. The usefulness of this video lies in the multitude of examples used throughout the video. Moreover, it is really suitable that each example includes real-life images. Throughout the video, the learners can constantly relate to their surrounding environment. Another aspect that makes this video useful is the organization of information. The information is presented by means of bullet points and it is easy to follow. Each informative section that appears on the screen is well timed and easy to read. Here and there the learner is informed that the section that follows to appear on the screen aims at answering a series of questions. The speaker’s pronunciation of the specific vocabulary used in the video is appropriate and makes the material easy to understand and go through.
LM Romania	The information the video on Renewable Energies: Part 1 provides students are reliable and relevant to my context. The explanations are short and always made explicit by drawings and pictures – which appeals to students. Students are not only encouraged to improve their knowledge in the subject but also to practice their English (an innovation). Students can also watch the video at home as many times as they want to feel confident about their English. The video can be used in online classes: it is short and well-structured. The video also encourages students to make connections between school subjects: physics, chemistry and technology. I’ll used it in my classes and also alert my colleagues about it.
MC Romania	The video Hydrocarbons - alkanes, alkenes and alkynes looks at three hydrocarbon molecules: alkanes, alkenes and alkynes with a view to comparing and contrasting their properties. The video presentation consists of the teacher’s clear explanations accompanied by suggestive drawings as well as concrete examples from students’ reality. It is very well-structured, to the point, relevant to the topic and its format appeals to students. It can be used online and face-to-face. It can also be used with the flipped classroom method as it is very clear. We can have students to study it at home, discuss and deal with it in-depth in class. I also appreciate it as students are invited to learn not only about hydrocarbons but also English.
CS Romania	The video Lenses: Way of light through lenses is very useful and relevant to our context. I’ll use it with my students and I’ll also recommend it to my colleagues. It is scientifically reliable and attractive to students. It is concise, well-structured and accompanied by clear drawings and explanations. Students can watch it at home at their pace and watch it several times until they have everything clear.
MP Romania	I appreciated the video on aiming at explaining to students the relationship between predator and prey and the importance of adaptation. The explanations are clear and made explicit by suggestive and well-chosen pictures and drawings. The information relies on students’ previous knowledge and it is accessible and interesting. The topic is not a difficult one as most students are interested in this subject. The rhetoric questions invite students to reflect on the teacher’s explanations. I can use this source both in face-to-face and online classes. I’ll recommend this source – as this source helps students to practice their English too; another reason to make it attractive to students.
Timofticiuc Cristian Romania	For the topics approached in my class, there is not a significant difference in usefulness between the different IOs available. The methodology provides a brief, yet sufficient introduction into the subject of CLIL teaching; the annexed suggestions and teaching resources aid lesson planning, and finally, the video resources provide useful scientific explanations. Since this is done in a friendly and comprehensible manner, that means the students can benefit from valuable, supplementary explanations on specific topics, delivered in an accessible language. The layout and design of the website is easy to follow and use, the sections are clearly defined and navigation is easy and intuitive. The subpages provide all the necessary information, and one upside of the design is that large chunks of information (e.g. the methodology) are stored in separate documents, which facilitates reading. Overall, the results of the CLIL4STEAM project are very useful for me as a teacher, and the manner in which they are available / presented makes their use easy.
Mironeanu Otilia Romania	The information the video provides students is reliable and relevant to my context. The explanations are short and always made explicit by drawings and pictures. Students are not only encouraged to improve their knowledge in the subject but also to practice their English (an innovation). Students can also watch the video at home as many times as they want to feel confident about their English. The video can be used in online classes: it is short and well-structured. I’ll used it in my classes and also alert my colleagues about it.
Lupuleasa Radu Romania	The most useful for me are the videos on the following topics: Force of Gravity, Lenses, Our Plastic World, Photosynthesis, Predator and Prey, Properties of Metals, Proteins, Reflection and Refraction, Renewable Energies, Stem Cells, The Greenhouse Effect and Tricks of Light. They are interesting because they propose attractive scientific topics, with considerable impact and application in real life.
SC Romania	The video introduces students to an exciting topic: Stem cells: different types, what they do and their potential for therapeutic uses. Its information is reliable and consistent with my needs. The presenter’s explanations are short and always made explicit by well-selected drawings and pictures – which stick in students’ mind. The video uses lots of scientific concepts; however, they are presented clearly and students can also watch the video at home as many times as they want to feel confident about the way they are progressing both in English and science. The video is concise, clear and well-organised and, therefore, can be used in online classes. I’ll use it in my classes and also talk with my colleagues about it.
VO Romania	The video presents the physical properties of metallic elements in a very dynamic and colourful way, which makes it appealing to students. The information presented is rooted in students’ reality and the examples given makes explanations very clear. The video can be used in class and online. Students can also watch it at home (in the flipped classroom method) as the information is short and very clear. The teacher uses simple grammar structures and vocabulary to facilitate students’ understanding of the new concepts. I’ll use it with my students in my classes and also recommend it to my colleagues.
Lupuleasa Daniela Romania	The most useful resources for me are Exponential Growth, Percentages, Probability, Pythagorean Theorem because they treat math topics included in the curriculum for the baccalaureate.
Morărașu Violanda Romania	The lessons encourage positive thinking, the path to success in adolescents. Increasing optimism and focusing on solutions and not at the problem are basic goals in counseling now. The lessons are on the same wavelength at the counseling activities through this project.
Dalia Valikonienė Lithuania	All video lessons are well prepared and are great additional materials supplementing the textbooks. They are very convenient to use for distance learning.
Loreta Krinickienė Lithuania	Photosynthesis. The students understood the well-arranged material on photosynthesis in English and were able to perform the tasks independently.
Sigita Zalitienė Lithuania	Predator and prey. The resource is useful because it provides new examples; the adaptation of the predators to catch the prey is discussed in more detail.
Andrius Storta Lithuania	I see the importance to use developed videos and other resources s additional material in the lessons with pupils. It helps to motivate students and to gain additional knowledge, especially when educational process turned online
Dovilė Žigienė Lithuania	Pythagorean theorem is presented in detail; the topic is explained in correct English language. Students felt confident proving the theorem in English.
Vita Sadauskienė Lithuania	Exponential grows. The video lessons are easy to use, are attractive to students, can easily be used for independent studies.
Jovita Širvytė Lithuania	Exponential grows. The video lessons are interesting to watch, students got more engaged in the subject.
Rima Vaišnorienė Lithuania	Video 13b Metals – some chemical properties. Students can understand the topic easily, everything is presented clearly, very useful examples, there are no difficulties to follow and make notes, as well as expand own vocabulary. All these factors stimulate student`s curiosity and make lessons more interesting.
Snieguolė Butkutė Lithuania	Video 13b Metals – some chemical properties. Students can revise the topic, compare different teaching techniques, and learn some chemical elements in English. That empowers students to understand, memorise more and not to bore during the lesson.
Sofija Svečiutytė Lithuania	I liked Math video lesson Exponential growth (video 1) and it was interesting that also it is useful for Biology. Now it is easier to explain what Exponential Growth is and I also improved my EN vocabulary in the subject of Math.
Rusnė Ašmenaitė Lithuania	""During the Physics video lesson """"Force of Gravity"""" different types of force were explained and then presented a look at what gravitational force actually means.
Augustas Jonušas Lithuania	It was explained and showed the difference between mass and weight. It was interesting to listen and to see it in small pictures.""
Vytis Kazlauskas Lithuania	I liked the lesson - Percentages. Now it is easier to apply percentage calculations and explain what a percentage is. Keywords were explained and now I am able to call it in EN as well. I also liked visualisation of how percentage was presented.
Kristupas Kiršis Lithuania	Pythagorean theorem. I liked the video lesson because it explains the theorem very well and it helped to improve my understanding about it
Gabija Masiukaitė Lithuania	Pythagorean theorem. I like the video lesson because it explains the theorem very well and I now I can prove the theorem in English.
Augustė Giedrytė Lithuania	I reviewed the lesson of Technology subject - House Model PART 2Technology Video 2. I liked how it was described and presented. It made my vocabulary wider as well.
Augustė Lėliūtė Lithuania	Physics. Trick of the Light Mirage (Part 2 of 2). A clear introduction was made and showed in the picture what mirage is. Also it was showed about 2 types of mirages and I learned a lot.
Agnė Kotryna Kubaitytė Lithuania	I reviewed the video lesson ""Our Plastic World"" by myself as I found it interesting and I wished to know what it presents. This lesson relates to chemistry as well as technology and it is interesting for me. Lecturer presented with clear and nice English, I also checked some words in dictionary and learned them. Now I see that all plastics are polymers but not all polymers are plastic.
Marcin Paśnikowski Poland	The videos created in the ""CLIL for STEAM"" project are an excellent resource for teachers who use CLIL method at work. They provide a reliable source of information on topics which are part of the school curricula. They not only introduce the new material, but also allow the students to learn new vocabulary.
Beata Adasik Poland	I really like the way the videos introduce the material, using 3 stages ""What you already know"", ""What you want to know"" and ""What you learnt"". This way it is easy for the students to learn the new material in a foreign language.
Aneta Seremak Poland	Mathematics is a difficult subject for some students, but with the videos which explain everything clearly, it has become much easier. My students like the visuals and key words which appear on the screen.
Agata Ziętek Poland	I use the videos teaching physics in a bilingual class. Although the students' level of English is very good, I appreciate the fact that we can use the subtitles which help students understand the topic better.
Teresa Kowalczyk Poland	In my opinion it's really important to teach students about engineering and technology, as their role in our lives is increasing. The videos created during the project give students a chance to learn about them while practicing English.
Campello Roberta Italy	They provide authentic material and show what teaching methodologies are adopted in other countries
Guaitolini Chiara Italy	The videos used have proved precise and consistent with the topics covered; they allow you to work both in DDI and in the presence always referring to a resource that keeps alive the interest of the class.

DC Romania	""I like the site and its CLIL method. It is great we can have lots of materials to choose from. We can also go in-depth with the topic if it is of interest (or the previous material we went through stirred our interest). I also like how interactive the quizzes are, allowing me instant feedback on my responses. The combination between learning science and English at the same time appeals to me, too. We, VET students, need foreign languages: to communicate with our peers from other countries in exchanges, in competitions, conferences or simply to read scientific articles in our field. We could benefit from a CLIL approach because our language textbooks follow the same structure as a general language course.
Alina B Romania	I really liked the site for its useful and attractive materials. I appreciated the video created introducing the topic: such videos encourage us, students, to learn the content and the necessary vocabulary; needless to say, their visual and auditory features help us retain the new content. The resources accompanying the videos consolidate our learning with intriguing and practical information and help us gain new perspectives on the issue (for instance, the way the same topic is dealt with in physics or chemistry classes). The quizzes are’ the cherry on the cake’! Very useful and some of them….addictive! Thank you for this learning experience!""
David T Romania	""The website is very easy to navigate and the user interface is very ergonomic, I never had issues finding materials for a class. I like the variety of the materials and resources provided, and the manner in which they were catalogued – this way, I almost always know before clicking on something what to expect.
Teodor Romania	Our chemistry teacher tried some lessons using instructions and materials from the website and they came out great. Then, the teacher designed her own lesson, following the model of this project, and it was very interesting. Learning science-related things in English are very useful for me, because I would like to work abroad.""
AC Romania	""When our teacher first showed CLIL4Steam project I didn’t know that it can be so interesting. Then we had some lessons using the videos and the resources from the platform and we loved it. Everything is clear, interesting, visual, and since I love science, I think I will spend more time discovering more on the portal. Lessons can be far more interesting and appealing using CLIL4Steam project.
Carmen Antonita Romania	I think that CLIL lessons are the future. I am more motivated to learn in this type of lessons. ""
CS Romania	""CLIL4Steam project made me understand that learning can be interesting, and I loved I could work in class using English. The video lessons were the best and they were so clear and easy to understand that they made studying great. I mainly loved that each video lesson had a lot of links to other resources and I could learn more and explore them on my own.
Cristian Timofticiuc Romania	There are so many things we can learn from the platform. We can ask our teacher explain some of them, but we can also search for information on our own. ""
G. Pascal Romania	""I liked the way a wide range of materials is organized around a scientific topic: videos, digital resources and interactive quizzes. They help us learn not only the scientific content but also the necessary vocabulary related to it in English. The online resources have been carefully selected and are very interesting to watch. If the English used in the video or audio programmes is too difficult, we can resort to subtitles in English.
C.Branzila Romania	I feel we are more in control of our learning. For example, the interactive activities are not only useful and fun but we can use them as needed by doing them at our pace and how many times and whenever we want. We can also share and discuss them with our friends.
